Opinion about the changes-
This is a huge devaluation. RBL Bank has removed the birthday benefit and accelerated reward points on spending done at stand alone restaurants.
No doubt, this card has lost its charms.
But yes, they have added Blinkit as an accelerated reward point partner, which is very good.

yes no devaluation because there's nothing extra special that can be devaluated

 

[krishc]

for swiggy probably, they'll give 5% swiggy money for swiggy one members and 3% for non-one members just like amazon
and no complimentary membership like zomato pro

 

[Gautham]

yes no devaluation because there's nothing extra special that can be devaluated

But I strongly believe a capping is on the way for both Apay and FK card. Currently, it is too good to be true.

if they're capped as well then not much value will be left honestly
will land up in similar space as zomato rbl

By the time you realise and reach them for missing cb, they will say "sorry sir, no more birthday reward sir" 😛
They already doing now.

 

[ltf4ever]

to everyone whose birthdays fall before 20th September: take max benefit from this card, also on behalf of everyone whose birthdays fall after that date 😅

Time to close edition black card

Time to close edition black card

In my opinion also, edition black will be too much of a liability. Considering the, 1770 annual fee! Also, LTF edition white though highly devalued will still reap good benefits for the restaurants that dont accept eazy diners/dineouts as I have seen the acceptability of Zomato Pay better! Also, no prior bookings are required!
Its more or less, Zomato Pro Plus for 1770/-

 

[dav33]

from where can i get zomato pro plus. some say its discontinued. but its still given in edition black.

 

[akshayhs]

With the fee involved for Edition Black, can it be applied directly instead of seeking an upgrade, @TechnoFino?

For my card 1999+GST and i am living in small city so zomato pro plus not available.Eazydiner is best for who holding axis premium cards.So now 0 value for my zomato black card

they are rbl.....they send me otp and marketing offers on sms, but when i raised a complaint with them, they said they cannot resolve it as they cannot find me in their system because my phone number is not registered. and asked me to raise a ticket for that... which i could not raise because my phone number was not registered 😐 don't take risks with such banks.

In hindsight, this was bound to happen. Given how easily accessible this card is, the clientele is not niche for the banks (hence avenues for making money are much less).
And giving 5-10% rewards is not sustainable as a business.
It was bound to happen, it should not have, from a consumer perspective, but I am glad it did.

I get your theory. But why are you glad 😛

Next my guess is, EasyDiner Indusind Bank card to be on the hit-list as it has extensive dining benefits

 

[Anirban]

Just wondering if I should keep the classic card for the free zomato pro membership and the high acceptance of zomato pay at restaurants in my city after this devaluation.
The classic card however is chargeable for me which is just sad 🙁

Ahh, you can try to push them for LTF. LTF it's a win-win
