Welcome benefits

  • • ₹300 Amazon Pay / Swiggy / Zomato voucher on card activation, after a minimum transaction of ₹300

Perks

  • ✓Forex markup: 3.5%
  • ✓The 10% "dining" cashback is Zomato-only (confirmed on RBL's own product page and BankBazaar), not a general restaurant/dining-category benefit — swiping directly at a restaurant counter earns only the 1% base rate
  • ✓No fuel surcharge waiver found on RBL's own product page or BankBazaar's listing for this card; RBL explicitly states no reward points are earned on fuel & auto transactions, and the Schedule of Charges PDF could not be parsed to independently confirm surcharge-waiver terms either way, so this is recorded as unconfirmed rather than assumed
  • ✓Free monthly credit advisory / credit score report from BankBazaar
  • ✓100% paperless application with contactless video KYC
  • ✓Balance transfer and EMI-conversion facility for existing card dues
  • ✓Reward points redeemable via rblrewards.com; a redemption fee of ₹99 + GST applies
  • ✓Fuel, utilities, insurance, rent/real estate, government services, education, wallet loads, EMI conversions, cash/quasi-cash and Bills2Pay transactions are excluded from reward point earning
  • ✓This is the same SaveMax product as the Visa-network sibling card — RBL's official page lists it as available on "MasterCard & VISA network" with identical fees, reward structure, and Zomato/BookMyShow benefits; applicants choose the network at application time rather than these being two differently-featured products
