Respected dimers! I would like to know if I can use the Rupay Prepaid card (Fortum Charge&Drive) to pay for fuel. Thanks for your time.

He's planning to convert this to 5% flat prepaid fuel card... not a bad idea. Also, buy medicines and what not...

BUT after the recent loot fortum people will "make" a lot of artificial glitches and difficulties...

You're right bro. In this way I think one can make an online only rewards card (SBI CB for example) to an offline reward one. One can buy groceries in the supermarket after loading the prepaid card and make use of the 5% cb or 5x rp which is meant only for online spends and thus make the card 5% anywhere. Correct me if I'm wrong.

UPDATE: Tried at a fuel station and the transaction failed back to back sob

First off/on card offline transaction, contactless transaction form pineperks app and fortum app and then try again.

Yes but everyone's online transaction is failing, after off/on e-com transaction. Card again start working for online transactions.

I think same problem with offline transactions too.

There are some MCC restrictions for pine labs rupay prepaid cards in general, was reading about those a few days ago, EDIT: GOT HERE  | Fortum Card TnC

What I intend is to use this card online for making some recurring payments like eduQfix and gold scheme emi which sbi cb card will be dropping from next month onwards...

Also, I didn't receive physical card (in February, clicked request in app but may be it failed somehow and option to request doesn't come again)... Should I mail fortum to send physical card? @abhishek012

My physical card was not delivered initially. I mailed fortum and they asked me to contact pinelabs([email protected]) as they are the ones managing logistics. Card got delivered last week, working fine on pos machines(IDBI).

I've been facing a problem with the app. I have registered using my email ID and then it asks to input registered mobile number. When I do that it asks for OTP.. the otp sms never comes.  I've left feedback on the play Store, emailed them but no luck. Any suggestions on how to get the otp.

This is to complete the registration not to load balance etc

The real challenge is to find the right time to reload the card. The last time I was able to do that was April 30th 7pm.

If everyone could update this thread when you are able to recharge, it would be lot easier

Will it still consider the MCC as online if I do full kyc? Or will it turn back to wallet load just like the Airtel payments bank?

Login https://www.pineper...n/ and go to profile, you will get full kyc option somewhere.

Now wait 10-20 mins you will get sms/email to complete full kyc.

Click on the link you got through sms/email.

Just enter your pan card details, aadhar otp and done. Instantly full kyc completed and go to pineperks website transaction limit option and increase your limit to 2 lakhs.

MCC code has nothing to do with mini kyc or full kyc.

It used to give us 5% right? Is there any trick by which we can make sure sbi card gives 5% from payment page?
