How about sbi miles elite card? 3% on UPI is not there?

Basis this (TF Post)- it should only be 1% on goddamn 5k fee card. Totally rubbish.

 

[Sourabh_13]

@Sourabh_13 what are the options for (wrt HDFC IRCTC)-
1. Joining Fee welcome vouchers?
2. Quarterly milestone?
3. Any experience if they waive annual fee after year or two of usage.

TIA

1, 2. Voucher Options for both Joining benefit and Quarterly Milestone benefit: Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, BookMyShow, ShoppersStop

3. No experience of getting an annual fee waiver.

3% on travel mcc not applicable on UPI spends?

 

[TheGuy]

3% on travel mcc not applicable on UPI spends?

it should be applicable. i have not researched about this card in detail. BUT travel shops will ideally take credit card.

like what is the least amount one needs to pay for trips... more than 2k. and at that point - it becomes mdr chargable and also the merchant will have revenue greater than 20L, which again makes whole txn (even less than 2k) chargeable.

AU spont has a limit of max ₹500

Now that it's august 1 and only 0.5% gets credited to card account and remaining 1% gets credited directly to neu pass, i think the minimum transaction to get 1.5% rewards on Tata neu infinity card is Rs 100 (we'll get 2% on 100 spend, but that's because of rounding up)

0.5% of Any amount less than that won't fetch any cashback to card account

 

[vine]

Is it possible to add another column with redemption charges.
Many banks like ICICI, IDFC have added redemption charges ₹99+GST = ₹118
This directly affects the usefulness of rupay cards when we use it mostly for smaller UPI txns.
My ICICI Coral Rupay credit card needs spends of ₹23600 just to break even with the redemption charges of ₹118.

 

[Sriim]

The attached document says 0.25% is base reward on any upi and 0.75% on tata neu upi.

Tata neu plus? It's 0.5 and 1 for infinity

So both base and special reward is in the form of neu coins?

Yes

I request you kindly add AU InstaPay UPI RuPAY Virtual credit card to the above table.

 

[desiviru]

List should be updated now for PNB as they have reduced point value from 50 paise to 25 paise from Sep 1, 2024. So it is Rs.250 now. I am that lucky holder of PNB Rupay Platinum CC on LTF basis. Vaise bhi 1 txn every quarter= no fee.

Add the worst ever card with zero rewards 😔. (1% upto 100 on grocery via UPI)

Add the worst ever card with zero rewards 😔. (1% upto 100 on grocery via UPI)

Sir it is atleast 1% in a particular category for day to day grocery spends. So I consider it good percentage for very small day to day grocery spends for those who doesn't have tata neu card for grocery purchases.

How are 1% redeemed? To statement or points? Does it have any redemption charges?

SBI SimplySave Rupay gives
--- 1.67% on Grocery, Department store, Dining, Movies.
---- 0.16% on all other spends.

Is SimplySAVE's 1.67% for UPI Scan QR code also? Is that considered "offline" txn? Because at a certain department store I visit they don't accept tap or swipe. Also for some online grocery "pay on delivery" orders, they have merchant QR
