Petron-BPI MasterCard
offers 24-hour price protection

posted 24 September 2007

Fuel price hike? No problem! You don’t need to line up at the gas station, trying to beat the midnight price increase, as Petron BPI Mastercard offers an exclusive 24-hour price shield to its cardholders.

This means that you fuel up at the old price if you fill up at any participating Petron station within 24-hours of a price increase, and pay with your Petron BPI Mastercard. This unique price protection feature is one of the most beneficial advantages offered by the only full-service motorist card supported by three of the country’s industry leaders — Petron, Bank of the Philippine Islands, and Mastercard.

As a welcome to new cardholders, you get a P200 free fuel certificate from Petron, which can be redeemed at any participating service station.

Effective until the end of the year, cardholders also enjoy a 3% rebate on all fuel purchases at participating Petron stations. Each time you load up on either Petron Blaze, XCS Complete Combustion System, Xtra Unleaded, or the New Generation DieselMax, you are credited back 3% of the amount in your next monthly statement.

Other benefits offered by participating Petron stations include: 10% discount on automotive services, 10% discount on Petron lubricants, and VIP treatment at select Petron stations. In addition, you also enjoy discounts from car care outlets and 24-hour towing service and roadside assistance nationwide through Ibero Asistencia. Comprehensive motor vehicle insurance is easy on the pocket at 12-months zero interest from Standard Insurance.

With a Petron-BPI MasterCard, you receive special discounts and privileges from premium partners including Honda Cars Makati, Goodyear Servitek and Tyrepro, Blade Auto Center, Nissan-Car & Recreation Vehicles Inc., Wheel Gallery, Days Hotel, Microtel Inn & Suites and Pancake House.

BPI’s unique S.I.P. (Special Installment Plan) facility allows you to purchase high-ticket items on installment, at 0% or low interest rates, with no hidden charges. Your Petron BPI Mastercard gives you access to over 29 million establishments worldwide, a Cash Advance facility for up to 30% of your credit limit, and the convenience of paying for monthly dues via Express Phone, BPI or BPI Family Bank ATM or BPI Express Online. Other freebies include free card insurance as well as free 1st extension card for family members or in-laws 13 years old and above.

To apply, call 89-100 for details. Annual fees are waived for the first year!
