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.

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

no, as of now

 

[sahil624]

no, as of now

But now is it at least available for upgrade? Because everytime I ask for upgrade to Black edition I get the reply that it undergoing some changes, hence not available for upgrade.

RBL and Zomato should clarify this to all card holders.

This is typical of Zomato, they launch products and then realise it's digging a hole in the revenue and then close the program (like, Zomato Gold).
They haven't suspended for subscribed members, like I can see valid pro till '28

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

Some people say that there is already a capping of total cashbacks of Rs 50,000 per month in Flipkart Axis Bank credit card, and only 10 Flipkart transactions will get 5% cashbacks, rest all will get 1.5%.
Is this info true?

To earn ₹50,000 in cash back in one month would mean spending 10 lakhs on Flipkart. IT Dept will deliver the goods with notice.

it says that existing members wont be able to renew. so does this mean that no pro after 2028? because they promised pro membership with the rbl card as long as you hold the card, and it will be renewed whenever the card is renewed after 5 years.

They have replied it will work till 2028.

why am i even worrying...my main concern should be either rbl/Zomato surviving till 2028

No, RBL will survive. Because RBI will give them a bailout or sell them to other bank.
Zomato may also survive, but may not be with their food delivery business

Has anyone tried closing their card?

Has anyone tried closing their card?

Not likely. RBL Zomato card still holds up for Amazon and Flipkart offers

 

[ramirami]

Was interested in this only for the offline restaurant 5% reward benefit. Since that is gone now, this card has become very unappealing!

Hello,
Does anyone know if , after the devaluation of this card, even though rent transactions will not give regular cashback, but can such transactions add up to achieve the 2 Lacs yearly milestone target ?

For milestone rent will be counted.

They have integrated groceries in Zomato (It seems it's blinkit) Hopefully they will allow edition cash to use against grocery order.
