How do I redeem my fuel reward points?

You can redeem fuel points directly at authorized partner fuel stations. Present your credit card during billing and request the operator to adjust the fuel cost against your accumulated reward point balance. Alternatively, points can be converted to statement credits or vouchers via the bank's portal.
