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.

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

Yeah I have been following up with them since couple of weeks. They said they will get back to me but the customer support's turn around time is just pathetic. Fingers crossed on that.
Meanwhile I wish Eazydiner ramps up its tie-up with restaurants in my city faster. Currently just not convinced to take the Eazydiner card due to the low number of tie-ups.

 

[Cierdo]

I get your theory. But why are you glad

I own RBL bank stock

 

[ltf4ever]

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

try dineout, available through swiggy now.

 

[Anirban]

try dineout, available through swiggy now.

Can you elaborate on this? I don't have a dineout passport membership but I have a Swiggy One membership. Is this going to be of any use?

i have swiggy one, and on my swiggy app, it is showing a dineout section. you can pay at restaurants using this and there are attractive offers around 20-40% off. some of the restaurants i visited accepted payment via zomato and swiggy-dineout, but refused eazydiner.

through swiggy-dineout, table booking is not available. on dineout website, table booking is available. i am not sure, but dineout-passport seems to be a different programs from dineout-swiggy.

I guess this is something in beta/available in selected cities as of now as I cannot see any such feature in my Swiggy app. Maybe going forward this will become a feature which would be great! Thanks for the information!

As swiggy has acquired dineout, they are trying to integrate it within the swiggy app itself. This is what i can see on swiggy right now. Location: Delhi

 

[Ramvish]

The Zomato card is of no use to me now. I’d rather just buy Swiggy vouchers and get far more points on Amex / HDFC and use Dineout !

Dineout has been acquired by Swiggy right ?

My guess! This devaluation happened ,beacuse of Bajaj Finserv may dissatisfied or If we can use zomato edition cash in Blinkist App that may cause them revenue lose as blinkist app for grocery, They planning to Launch Zomato pay instead of Zomato credits and wallet, i think they replicate amazon pay business.

 

[Musheb]

Mera toh abhi last week hi apply kiya aur card abhi delivered bhi nahi hua uske phele hi devaluation aagaya

I didn't even get to use this benefit even once

Same here

 

[vaibhav111vaibhav111 is verified member.]

Probably will close this card just this month statement used the card and got 500+ fees and had to use 500 credit for Zomato , once it completed 10 month or so will close this card

 

[sameerdes]

It's more like a destruction than just devaluation. Nothing worthwhile left anymore. I still understand removing the 10% birthday thing. A blanket 10% CB without restrictions/caps is an absurd offer to keep live for too long which they actually did.

But what's even more damaging imo is the removal of the dine-in benefit which was there at all restaurants & even reducing the core / default reward rate from 1.5% to 1%. That's been done with the double hit of excluding some spends too (fuel/wallet/rent).. which was not the case so far.

Now even with 2L spends the return rate will come to 2% that too in Z credits. Why will anyone use this card now for primary spends? Even 5% on Zomato doesnt mean much when there are plenty other card offers on Zomato/Swiggy. This is besides cards like Axis FK/Ace/APay cards some of which are giving 4/10% etc CB on these apps & better / more meaningful CBs in general.

Having it LTF for Zomato Pro is the only silver lining even if a bleak one!

Cashback for birthday spends removed?

if it is not ltf and you don't want the card anymore, you might consider not activating it...they will close the card themselves. not sure if it affects credit score though.

 

[sahil624]

Now that they have devalued, is the Black card available? Earlier the Zomato and RBL guys used to say that it undergoing some changes that is why it is not available.
