This international Visa card can be used to withdraw cash and as a deferred debit card, and holders will not have to change banks.
In addition to the standard Visa insurance coverage, they will also be entitled to instant rebates of 3% to 9% on purchases at Total service stations, up to a ceiling of E1,200 a year, as well as free roadside assistance for two weeks after any purchase exceeding E40.
At the express request of the holder, a credit option can be activated. The annual fee for the card is E12.50 for the first year with no fee for the first six months, and E25 subsequently.
Michel Benezit, president of Total Refining & Marketing, said: The Total Visa card is a simple, innovative way for French consumers to reduce their fuel costs while continuing to enjoy the quality service offered at Total’s retail outlets, part of France’s biggest service station network.
