Update: The new cards have now launched, you can read our full review here.
In case you didn’t already know, Chase is no longer the co branded card issuer for the BP credit card, Synchrony is now in charge of this portfolio. So far Synchrony and BP have not done a great job at explaining this change to cardholders with a lot of people reporting that they’ve been unable to pay their card statement, Chase won’t accept the payment and they can’t log into Synchrony to pay with their current details either.
We also haven’t known what the new cards will look like (both in terms of physical appearance and rewards structure). All of this will become clearer on May 18th, which is when the new cards will officially be relaunched according to the BP website.
Hopefully current cardholders will be rewarded for a botched transition with a card that earns at a decent rate on gas purchases, although I doubt the card will be competitive in comparison to the best gas credit cards.
