Fuel vouchers
What types of IP fuel vouchers are there?

There are 2 types of IP fuel vouchers: electronic vouchers (BCE) and virtual fuel vouchers (BCV)

It is currently possible to purchase only electronic vouchers (BCE) directly from IP, while virtual vouchers may be purchased through IP partner portals

IP electronic vouchers (BCE) are prepaid vouchers not registered to a specific user with the credit progressively debited

They are available in the following amounts: € 10.00 - € 30.00 - € 50.00 - € 100.00 - € 250.00 - € 500.00

Electronic vouchers are valid for 18 months as of the activation date (the expiry date is the last day of the month of expiry) and they have a scratch-off PIN, located on the back of the voucher on the top right. They may be used to pay for all fuelling methods: full-service, self-service post-pay - via the operator’s POS - and self-service pre-pay, via card reader (advance payment)

 

Virtual fuel vouchers (BCV) are in digital format, consisting of a 19-digit PAN and a 4-digit PIN and the credit is progressively debited

BCVs are valid for 18 to 24 months as of the activation date (they may be used until the last day of the expiry month specified on the voucher) and may be used to pay for fuelling in both full-service and self-service mode, always with payment to the operator (self-service post-pay), at facilities where that fuelling method is available.

Are fuel vouchers subject to IVA (VAT) or stamp duty?

How will I receive the invoice?

You will receive the electronic invoice in your tax box.

What date will be on the invoice?

The invoice date will correspond to the order shipping date and NOT the day on which the order was placed.

I am not subject to invoicing requirements. Is it possible not to receive an invoice?

No. IP will send the electronic invoice in your tax box in any event.

 

I have not received the electronic invoice. What should I do?

The electronic invoice may take up to 7 days after the order is shipped to be visible in your tax box

If more than 7 days have passed, check the personal details included in the order form and send the form located in the area https://ip.gruppoapi.com/contatti/it/scrivici/buoni-carburante

How can I check the remaining balance or expiry of the voucher?

You may check the remaining balance and expiry date of the voucher by clicking on the following link https://ip.gruppoapi.com/prodotti-e-servizi/buoni-carburante-elettronici/ and entering the voucher number (in the case of a BCE electronic voucher, the code is provided on the lower right part of the back of the card and is 19 characters long)

The value of the remaining balance and the expiry date of the voucher (month/year) will appear

NOTE: The voucher is valid until the last day of the month of expiry

How do I check the expiry date?

You can check the expiry date by completing the form you find when you click this link.

How do I request an invoice?

An electronic invoice will be sent to your “cassetto fiscale" (financial transactions archive).

How is the invoice date decided?

The invoice date is based on the date the order is dispatched, NOT the date it is placed.

How do I use a voucher that has a PIN?

Fuel vouchers with a PIN can be used at staffed service stations, IPmatic and Self Prepay pumps.

Where is the PIN located?

On the BCE, the PIN is located on the upper right part of the back of the card below a grey rectangular sticker, which we advise removing carefully so as not to ruin it.

On BCVs, the PIN is sent by the supplier with the methods it has defined

I entered the wrong PIN and the voucher has been blocked. What should I do?

If you entered the wrong PIN 3 times in a row, the voucher will be blocked as a precaution. You will need to wait 24 hours for it to be unblocked automatically.

My voucher is blocked (“No PIN Entry Error”) and I am unable to use it. What should I do?

Contact the call centre at the link https://ip.gruppoapi.com/contatti/it/scrivici/buoni-carburante. Our operators will perform the appropriate checks

Is it possible to obtain a refund for a damaged voucher?

If the voucher has become demagnetised or has an illegible PIN 

  • Enter the contacts area at the link https://ip.gruppoapi.com/contatti/it/scrivici/buoni-carburante
  • select the “voucher management” category
  • select the “replacement of unusable voucher” topic
  • download the “voucher replacement” form that you will find on the page, complete the required fields and attach the properly completed form
  • attach a photo of the back of the voucher to be replaced and send the form
What should I do about lost vouchers?

The fuel voucher is a bearer instrument and therefore may not be reimbursed, so store it carefully

The point of sale does not accept fuel vouchers. What should I do?

Check the type of voucher you are using, if BCE (physical card) or BCV (19-digit PAN plus PIN that you have probably received by email)

If you are trying to use the BCV in Self-Service Pre-Pay mode, at the moment this voucher cannot be used in this mode, but only for fuelling carried out in full-service or self-service mode with payment to the manager.

In all other cases, check whether the station accepts vouchers

  • click on the link https://ip.gruppoapi.com/ricerca-stazioni-servizio/
  • enter the address of the point of sale where you are located on the upper right and click on the magnifying glass
  • double-click on the marker of the point of sale concerned and then click on the name of the point of sale
  • an information page will open where you can view all services present at the point of sale, as well as whether it accepts fuel vouchers

If the point of sale is indicated as accepting vouchers but it actually does not, please provide us with this information by writing to us at the link https://ip.gruppoapi.com/contatti/it/scrivici/buoni-carburante
