Is Standard chartered Ultimate really worth ?

[sauchadh]

I see many of you hold Standard chartered Ultimate credit card. Is it really the worth ? 1st of all it is a paid card and we get equivalent 5000 points every year. Ofcourse GST we need to pay from our pocket. I see there are not many reward redemption option. Can someone throw light on this on how they redeem their points ? Are we getting an equivalent benefit in terms of fees we are paying ?
Also if you spend 150Rs you get 5 points. How about if someone spends less than 150 Rs would we still get points ? I am thinking if I should take this card or not . Any thoughts ?

Once u pay the fee

Once u pay the fee

Once paid the full fee i guess, first month only 5000 charged, GST in next month, i don't know what is this practice.

But you won't get higher credit for ultimate with just 4L, i got with 1.5L only since my HDFC card doesn't show actual limit in cibil( they are top in this kind of things) even though is nearly 8L. A Ultimate card without Ultimate Credit limit in my case.

Since Croma vouchers have been removed from their redemption portal, I think i'm not gonna renew my Ultimate card this year unless there are any other great redemption options.

I feel the same, couldn't much useful for me too.. Closing on 11th month will not incur any renewal charges right.

Croma vouchers are removed 😞,
No rewards on Nps, time to close this card as well

Why no rewards for NPS? The recent devaluation cut the reward rate to 2% for govt spends. So NPS should fall under this, right?
