The smart fuel card, as a key tool in managing consumption and distribution of petroleum products in Iran, has faced challenges in recent years. Despite the implementation of the national plan for the instant issuance of smart fuel cards, some applicants have complained about issues in the registration and receipt of replacement cards.
Disruptions in the Application System
Applicants for the fuel card who have visited the National Iranian Oil Products Distribution Company’s online system have reported delays in receiving notification SMS messages and problems in submitting applications. This situation has not only impacted user experience but could also hinder better fuel consumption management.
According to some applicants, despite completing the application process, in many cases, the SMS regarding the continuation of the process or the time of card receipt is not sent. Additionally, issues such as the non-display of certain operational areas in the system have also been reported, adding to the confusion among applicants.
Consequences of Delays in Issuing Replacement Cards
The fuel card is an essential tool for accessing fuel quotas, especially for those who have lost their cards. Some of these individuals have complained about the prolonged process of receiving replacement cards, which was estimated to take about 10 days. However, the actual experience of applicants shows that this time has taken longer than expected.
Problems in the system are not limited to new card applications; individuals seeking replacement cards are also facing similar challenges. This issue could ultimately lead to more serious problems for drivers who rely on their fuel quotas.
In light of these complaints, it is expected that the National Iranian Oil Products Distribution Company will quickly take actions to resolve the issues in the application system and improve the process of sending notification SMS messages. These actions will help reduce the time gap between announced promises and reality and can improve the experience of applicants.
In this regard, applicants who encounter questions or issues during the registration, receipt, or follow-up of the smart fuel card can contact the customer service center of the National Iranian Oil Products Distribution Company for guidance.
