Actually somebody presented to me the Petronas Gift Card which was preloaded with RM50 credit to use at any Petronas station (thanks @shhaslinda). Previously I didn't know they even exist. You can use the gift card to pay for your petrol or diesel or purchase anything at the Mesra store. Once your credit had been used up, you can always reload the card at the counter to any amount you like. Here you can have the convenience of paying like a credit card but without the never-ending debts. Get your Petronas Gift Card at your nearest Petronas Station today.

ReplyDeleteI am holding a Gift Card 708381 284362 76471 with a balance of RM 53.80. However, when I swipe it to pump petrol, it always showed 51. When I asked the staff at the counter at your Green Lane Penang outlet, they told me that the card is invalid. How do I get a replacement card ?
