The ICICI Bank HPCL Super Saver Credit Card sits at the entry level of ICICI’s co-branded fuel card lineup, alongside the HPCL Coral variant. Both the joining fee and annual fee are ₹500 plus GST, making this one of the cheapest fuel-focused cards available from any major bank. The annual fee gets waived when you spend ₹1.5 lakh in a year, a target that regular fuel buyers and grocery shoppers can hit without stretching. Welcome benefits include 2,000 reward points credited on card activation.Fuel savings are the primary reason to carry this card. Every fill-up at an HPCL pump earns 5% savings, split into a 4% cashback (capped at ₹200 per month) and a 1% fuel surcharge waiver on transactions between ₹400 and ₹4,000. Using the HP Pay app at HPCL outlets adds another 1.5% back as Happy Coins. For someone spending ₹5,000 per month on HPCL fuel, the monthly cashback alone recovers the annual fee within three months. At non-HPCL stations, only the standard 1% fuel surcharge waiver applies, with no cashback.Beyond fuel, the card earns 20 reward points per ₹100 on daily essentials like groceries, utilities, and departmental store purchases, capped at 400 points per month. Regular retail purchases earn 2 points per ₹100 with no cap. The iShop portal multiplies earnings to 6x or 12x at select merchants. One domestic airport lounge visit per quarter is available after spending ₹75,000 in the previous quarter. BookMyShow and INOX discounts of 25% up to ₹100 on minimum 2 tickets apply twice monthly. The RuPay variant adds personal accident insurance and 24x7 concierge service.This card works best for people who refuel at HPCL stations regularly and want a low-cost credit card with tangible fuel savings. The 24x7 roadside assistance covering breakdowns, towing, key retrieval, and emergency fuel delivery is a genuine differentiator that most budget cards do not include. If you split your fuel purchases across multiple oil company brands, the HPCL-specific cashback becomes less useful, and a general fuel surcharge waiver card might serve you better.
Pros
↑5% fuel savings at HPCL (4% cashback + 1% surcharge waiver) outperforms the standard 1% surcharge waiver that most credit cards provide
↑24x7 roadside assistance including towing, key retrieval, emergency fuel delivery, and vehicle repatriation is rare at the ₹500 annual fee level
↑20 reward points per ₹100 on daily essentials (groceries, utilities, departmental stores) delivers strong accelerated returns on everyday spending categories
Cons
↓4% fuel cashback is capped at ₹200 per month, limiting the benefit to ₹5,000 in monthly HPCL fuel spend
↓Fuel cashback applies only at HPCL outlets, providing no advantage at Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum, or other fuel brands
↓Daily essential rewards capped at 400 points per month means only ₹2,000 in essential spend earns the accelerated 20x rate each month

The joining fee is ₹500 plus 18% GST. You receive 2,000 reward points as a welcome benefit on card activation, which partially offsets the joining cost.
The annual fee of ₹500 plus GST gets waived when your total spending in the year crosses ₹1.5 lakh. For someone spending ₹5,000 per month on fuel and ₹8,000 on other purchases, this threshold is reachable within a year.
The 5% fuel savings at HPCL outlets breaks down into two parts: a 4% cashback and a 1% fuel surcharge waiver. The card must be swiped at any HPCL fuel pump on any bank's POS machine, or used through the HP Pay app. The 4% cashback portion is capped at ₹200 per month, meaning the maximum fuel spend eligible for the full 4% cashback is ₹5,000 per month.
The 4% fuel cashback at HPCL outlets is capped at ₹200 per month. This means you earn the full 4% on up to ₹5,000 in HPCL fuel purchases each month. Spending beyond ₹5,000 on HPCL fuel still earns the 1% surcharge waiver but no additional cashback. The 1% fuel surcharge waiver has no separate cap and applies on transactions between ₹400 and ₹4,000.
The 4% fuel cashback applies only at HPCL outlets and the HP Pay app. At Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum, or other fuel stations, you only get the standard 1% fuel surcharge waiver on transactions between ₹400 and ₹4,000. If you regularly refuel at non-HPCL stations, a card with a general fuel surcharge waiver may offer better overall value.
When you pay for HPCL fuel through the HP Pay app using your ICICI HPCL Super Saver card, you earn the standard 5% savings (4% cashback + 1% surcharge waiver) plus an additional 1.5% back as Happy Coins. Happy Coins can be redeemed within the HP Pay ecosystem. This makes app-based payments slightly more rewarding than swiping the card directly at the pump.
Daily essential purchases earn 20 reward points per ₹100 spent, covering categories like groceries, utility bills, and departmental store purchases. This is capped at 400 reward points per month, meaning only the first ₹2,000 in essential spend each month earns at the accelerated rate. Beyond that, essential purchases earn at the standard 2 points per ₹100 retail rate.
Daily essential spend covers three categories: utility bill payments, grocery purchases, and departmental store transactions. These earn 20 reward points per ₹100 (equivalent to what ICICI calls 5% cashback), compared to 2 points per ₹100 on regular retail spend. The accelerated earn rate is capped at 400 points per month across all essential categories combined.
Regular retail purchases earn 2 reward points per ₹100 spent. This applies to all transactions that do not fall under the daily essentials category (groceries, utilities, departmental stores) or fuel purchases. The iShop portal offe₹6x to 12x reward points at select merchants, which can significantly boost earnings on eligible online purchases.
New cardholders receive 2,000 ICICI Bank Reward Points on card activation. These points are credited automatically and can be redeemed through the ICICI Bank Rewards portal for shopping vouchers, electronics, home appliances, travel, health and beauty products, or fashion items. No minimum spend is required to earn the welcome points.
Points can be redeemed through the ICICI Bank Rewards portal for shopping vouchers, electronics, home appliances, health and beauty products, travel and luggage, and fashion and lifestyle items. You can also redeem through the iMobile app or internet banking. Redemption categories and point values vary by product.
You get 1 domestic airport lounge visit per quarter after spending ₹75,000 or more on the card in the previous calendar quarter. This gives a maximum of 4 domestic lounge visits per year if you meet the spend threshold every quarter. The benefit is for the primary cardholder only. There is no international lounge access with this card.
The roadside assistance includes a 24x7 helpline, on-site repairs for minor issues like flat tyres or dead batteries, towing to the nearest authorised workshop for major breakdowns, locked or lost key retrieval from your residence, emergency fuel delivery of up to 5 litres at actual cost, taxi services for up to 50 km, and vehicle repatriation up to 100 km free if repairs take more than two days. The service activates once you pay the joining or annual fee.
If your vehicle breaks down due to electrical or mechanical failure, an accident, or wrong fuelling, the service provider arranges towing to the nearest authorised OEM workshop. The towing service ensures your vehicle is safely handled and reaches the appropriate repair facility. This is covered as part of the roadside assistance benefit at no additional charge.
If repairs take more than two days, you can opt for vehicle repatriation to your hometown for up to 100 km free of cost. For distances beyond 100 km, repatriation services are available on a chargeable basis. A replacement or courtesy car of a higher category or the best available vehicle can also be arranged at prevailing market rates for local mobility.
Cardholders get 25% off up to ₹100 on movie tickets at BookMyShow and INOX. You need to purchase a minimum of 2 tickets per booking. The offer is available twice per month. Additional bookings beyond the two complimentary uses are charged at the service provider's standard rates.
Salaried applicants need a minimum monthly income of ₹20,000 (₹2.4 lakh per year). Self-employed applicants require an annual income of ₹2,40,000. You must be an Indian citizen aged 21 years or above. A credit score of 750 or higher is typically expected for approval.
You need identity proof (PAN card, Aadhaar, passport, or voter ID), address proof (Aadhaar, passport, utility bill, or bank statement), and income proof (salary slips and bank statement for salaried; ITR and bank statement for self-employed). ICICI Bank also supports digital KYC, so no physical documents may be required if you apply through iMobile or internet banking.
The HPCL Super Saver is available on Visa and RuPay networks. The RuPay variant includes additional benefits not available on Visa: personal accident insurance cover and 24x7 concierge service. Fuel cashback, reward points, lounge access, movie discounts, and roadside assistance remain the same across both networks.
The RuPay variant adds two benefits over the Visa version: personal accident insurance cover and 24x7 concierge service for restaurant reservations, hotel bookings, and emergency assistance. All other benefits including fuel cashback, reward points, lounge access, movie offers, and roadside assistance are identical across both variants.
The foreign currency markup is 3.5% on all international transactions. This is standard for entry-level and mid-tier ICICI credit cards. Since this card is focused on domestic fuel savings and does not offer international lounge access, it is not well-suited for frequent international use.
The finance charge is 3.75% per month, which works out to 45% per year. This applies to any outstanding balance carried past the payment due date. Paying the full statement balance by the due date each month avoids interest charges entirely.
Any purchase above ₹2,500 can be converted to EMI through the iMobile app or internet banking. Tenure options and interest rates depend on the transaction amount and your account standing. EMI conversions do not earn reward points.
Late payment fees range from ₹100 to ₹1,300 depending on your total outstanding amount. These apply when you do not pay at least the minimum amount (5% of outstanding or ₹200, whichever is higher) by the statement due date. Consistent late payments also negatively affect your credit score.
At ₹5,000 monthly HPCL fuel spend, you earn the full ₹200 cashback each month (₹2,400 per year) plus the 1% surcharge waiver and an additional 1.5% in Happy Coins via HP Pay. The 2,000 welcome points and annual fee waiver at ₹1.5 lakh spend add more value. Your total annual fuel savings alone exceed ₹2,400, which is nearly five times the ₹500 annual fee. Combined with the roadside assistance and daily essential rewards, this card delivers strong returns for regular HPCL customers at this price point. If your fuel purchases are split across multiple brands, the HPCL-only cashback limits the card's appeal.
