Suggest Rupay credit card

[helloworld]

Looking for a RuPay card that meets the following requirements:

• Must work without a minimum spend of ₹2000
• Should have the same reward rate across different apps (not just the issuer’s app)
• Must earn reward points on grocery purchases and roadside eating places
• At least 1% reward rate or cashback

I haven't been tracking RuPay cards much lately, so if any fit these criteria, please let me know. Thanks in advance!

Special Thanks!

@Hemang : Axis Airtel Rupay (1% offline spends)
@2025 : AU InstaPay (1% on selected categories include eating places, grocery and pharmacy)

Note:

• Eterna: 0 points for 95% of my spending in these categories, same applies to Snapdeal
• Tata Neu: Unreliable app outside, struggles to open, inconvenient RP split between HDFC and their platform, and requires using their app only and if any issues have to check support here and there.

ICICI Coral Rupay or Sapphiro Rupay whichever you are getting as LTF. I have linked it to UPI and every transaction above Rs. 50 has earned reward points atleast @2%

As far as I know, it's 0.50% for Coral (for selected MCC, it's 0.25%). Do not know if they have changed anything recently. (edited after verification)

Coral Rupay gives 2 RP on ₹100, value of 1 RP is just ₹0.25

Coral Rupay gives 2 RP on ₹100, value of 1 RP is just ₹0.25

same for coral, platinu, rubyx, sapphiro: no changes.. consistence in ICICI. Unless someone find a way to redeem 1 RP = 1rs. which I would very much like to know.

I'm serious 🙂 : )

Regular transactions on these cards provide 2RP per 100 = 0.5% (1RP=0.25p).

@helloworld SBI BPCL Octane gives 10 RPs for dining, grocery and departmental stores
I have it in RuPay and I think I get 2.5% at department stores
Can someone confirm?

Indus Platinum Rupay, but only if you are willing to block 50K in Indie Acct

yes and very limited mcc, similar to simplysave. but if it works it provides 2.5% (not sure scan and pay reward rate though in sbi).

 

[panchabhut]

0.7%. Looks good.

When combined with Indie Megastar Acct, it becomes 2.7% (no guarantee how long the addl 2% will last)

@Abhishek012

What is your issue with Tata Neu App? I use it everyday for all UPI transactions (CC enabled), never face any problems.

Change your mobile. Works smoothly with mobile data always, every time. Works for all merchants and all amounts as well 😀
