What’s that underdog card for you? For me it’s BOB Eterna

Base Reward Rate: 0.75%

Accelerated Reward Rate: 3.75% (capped at 5k pts/ month)

Ideal Spending / Month: 42,000 INR

It’ll qualify for annual milestones of 5 Lac & 50k for 20k pts &10k pts. It'll shoot the reward rate to 4.75 on annual spends of 5 Lac.


1RP= 25p as statement credit.

It has also joining fee waiver on 25k spends on first 60 days, which is amazing considering the value

Buy Swiggy and Flipkart gift vouchers from Gyftr for all spends there, get 5X reward points and use them for Multi brand vouchers to get double the value. Also there are multiple times when grabdeals comes out with great offers.

For example, for 25k spends, I get 6250 RPs which get me a Myntra GV of 2.5k. So my yearly shopping gets covered.

Now I dont use it much since I got Magnus! All RPs go towards miles now.

For me it's AU LIT.

I have 2 features activated i.e 10x on online spends and 5% CB on all retail spends. Both features cost 299+GST each for 90 days. So that's around Rs. 2825 per year. But if you are spending just Rs. 10,000 per 30 days, the max CB you would earn is Rs. 9000 (Rs. 10000 X 12 X 7.5%) and effective rate of return would be 5.15%.

I have taken spend Rs. 10,000 per 30 days because 5% CB feature give max CB of Rs. 500 per 30 days.

Sbi cashback works very well for me. No hassle of converting points or calculating how to get max rewards. Straight 5% cashback on every online transaction. On top of that you can use it anywhere you want. I booked some flights and hotels online on websites that offered the lowest price or discounts, and on top of that i got 5% cashback. Have started using it on Swiggy and Blinkit too for the little cashbacks that add up neatly over time.

I have paired it up with axis vistara signature for rent, utility and offline payments. Help me fetch those free premium economy tickets for the rest of payments.
Also, sbi cashback has access to 080 lounge, which makes me feel like i am holding a premium card once a quarter.

Still, I hate this card sometimes, since I don't get any other pre-approved offers from ICICI due to this card.
