SBI ELITE Credit Card is a premium credit card by SBI Card and comes with an annual membership fee of Rs. 4,999. It used to be the most premium offering by SBI Card; however, after the launch of the SBI AURUM Credit Card earlier this year, it is now the second most premium credit card offered by SBI Card. Being a premium offering, the SBI Bank ELITE Credit Card comes packed with some of the best-in-class value-added privileges that one expects from a premium credit card, including complimentary domestic and international lounge visits, complimentary shopping vouchers, and discounted rates on hotel bookings, free movie tickets and many other add-on benefits. Talking about this card’s reward rate, you earn 2 Rewards on every Rs. 100 purchase with the card (reward rate of 0.5% as 1 Reward Point = Rs. 0.25) and 5X Reward Points per Rs. 100 on departmental stores, dining, and grocery spends (reward rate of 2.5%). SBI ELITE Credit Card comes in three variants- Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. While most benefits are the same across all three variants, the payment networks offer some exclusive benefits as well. For example, you get complimentary golf games with the MasterCard variant and discounted dining rates with the AmEx variant of the card.
