SBI Card OLA Purchase Using SBI Cashback

[Joker]

Hi All,

I want to purchase OLA S1 Pro 2nd Gen. Given OLA gives option to purchase using CC, I was thinking which card would be best to purchase this? Best answer I came up with is SBI Cashback Card 5% cashback & Infinia.

Wanted to check if anyone has purchased it & knows the MCC? I don't want to get into a situation where I use the card & then realize MCC is not eligible for Cashback.

Given cashback is capped to 5k in a month I am planning to use it like below, please provide any other suggestions. Thanks.

SBI Cashback : 1 Lakh (5k Cashback)
Infinia or DCB: 64k (3.3% reward points)

Cards I hold:
Magnus (around 4.5 Lakh short of renewal waiver with renewal coming in Dec)
StanC Ultimate
Tata Neu
Amazon Pay
Axis Flipkart
1 Kotak & ICICI card

One thing you can do is to check the merchant name while making payment and concur whether the said merchant is eligible for cashback or not through other’s experience in threads. For situations like these having milestone cards such as Amex Plat Travel, SBI Prime Vistara, etc makes a lot of sense.

if you will be purchasing online check the merchant name on otp page and confirm it with customer care

Not holding any of them, still curious would it give more than 5% return? Keep in mind this 5% is straight forward cashback.

I purchased Ola S1 in March this year....and my good luck the upper cashback ceiling was 10K so I got full 5% i.e. 6,072 as cashback!!

More than 5% return yes. In the form of direct cashback no. Only suitable for people who travel as both of them provide best redemptions at Mariott, Taj, Vistara and Yatra

What would be the return for Vistara & Yatra. Biggest issue with Vistara is first number of flights & second award availability.

No Ola allows online payment so no extra charge. Cherry on cake, they allow split payment so I paid 1lakh using cashback card & rest using Infinia.

Anyone purchased Ola Electric scooter recently using SBI Cashback card? Is it giving cashback?
