Fuel Card

Sinopec is the first company in China to use IC card transaction on a large scale. Since Sinopec Fuel Card was introduced in 2003, “nationwide fueling with one card” has become a trend leading the refined oil retail market. The card provides better services by giving customers better access to information, thus gaining the recognition of consumers. Sinopec Fuel Card was twice recognized as the “powerful” corporate prepaid card by the Ministry of Commerce of China, and was chosen as the most popular prepaid card in a survey done by the website People.cn.

Four trendsetting features

Sinopec Fuel Card features “fast refueling, reward points, easy to use and fuel consumption management”. Card holders can easily fuel at more than 30,000 gas stations of Sinopec across China and manage the card usage in real time. Furthermore, they can also enjoy value-added services such as reward points and free road rescue.

Fast refueling: Using Sinopec Fuel Card is as convenient as dialing through IC card. The username and balance are displayed immediately after you insert the card. The computer-controlled fueling stops immediately after you hang the fuel nozzle. The card pops up after automatic fee deduction, making fueling more efficient by avoiding giving change or carrying cash. What is more, the fuel card is very light, small and portable. Should the registered fuel card be lost, the card owner can report the loss immediately to avoid economic losses.

Reward points: Sinopec provides a number of reward points activities for registered card users, who can redeem the points obtained from fueling for gifts, join in lucky draws, and enjoy a number of value-added services.

Easy to use: Sinopec has a nationwide gas station network, covering urban areas, highways, national and provincial roads and others. With the fuel card, customers can fuel at any gas station of Sinopec across China.

Fuel management: Sinopec Fuel Card can also help corporate clients to manage their fuel consumption, enabling them to accurately track fuel usage of the corporate vehicles. For example, an enterprise with more than two vehicles can register one primary card and multiple secondary cards. The secondary cards can be managed by the primary card in terms of allocation of fueling quota, inquiry of transaction details of each card, and detailed monthly statement. Companies can also set various restrictions such as car plate number, oil product, gas station, region, daily fueling times, etc.

In recent years, Sinopec has issued various theme cards such as National Games Card, Military Card, Diesel Card, Winter Olympics Card, etc., with differentiated visual designs and exclusive rights. For example, Diesel Card holders can enjoy nationwide preferential fee rebate; Winter Olympics Card holders can enjoy exclusive rights such as free access to designated ski resorts and free tour in large theme parks.

Customer service

Sinopec has made available online services for fuel cards such as customer hotline, online service website, one-click fueling, “Sinopec Fueling” app, making fueling more convenient and providing better services.

As China’s first fueling payment e-account launched on Sinopec’s own platform, Sinopec e-wallet enables customers to fuel with just one click, free of worries about being infected with the virus while using card, getting off the car or requesting invoice. Contactless refueling and secure payment prevent the spread of the epidemic.
