Attention Drivers! CPC's New Membership System Launches September 1, 2026: Free Physical Cards Discontinued, New Fees and Digital Shift Ahead

CPC Corporation, Taiwan has announced a comprehensive reform of its membership service system, effective September 1, 2026. From this date, the 'CPC Pay' mobile app will become the primary channel for membership registration and usage, offering users a convenient, card-free experience with easier point accumulation.

Acknowledging that some customers still prefer physical cards, CPC will continue to offer physical membership card applications at select gas stations. However, a 50 NTD handling fee will be charged, and users must complete an online activation process themselves before the card can be used.

To encourage the shift to digital services, CPC is introducing several incentives and enhanced features for the CPC Pay app:

- 5,000-Point Deactivation Reward: Members who apply for a physical card, complete its online activation, and later deactivate it within the CPC Pay app will automatically receive 5,000 membership points credited to their CPC Pay account. - Double Points on Fuel Purchases: Using CPC Pay for fuel payments earns members twice the number of points compared to using a physical card, accelerating point accumulation. - Flexible Point Management: The CPC Pay app offers a 'Point Consolidation' feature, allowing users to merge points from multiple cards with one click, and a 'Point Gifting' function to easily share points with family and friends.

CPC reminds members that the detailed online activation procedure for physical cards will be officially released on September 1, 2026, on the CPC membership website. Customers are advised to monitor official announcements for the latest updates.
