Last month, SBI Card launched three variants of its travel-focused credit card, SBI Card MILES. The three variants are SBI Card MILES ELITE, SBI Card MILES PRIME, and SBI Card MILES. The cards were launched to offer travel benefits to travellers of all kinds, from frequent fliers to travel enthusiasts. The card is available on the Mastercard and RuPay network.
As per rewards on these cards, SBI Card MILES users can convert travel credits to air miles and hotel points. They also get accelerated rewards on every travel booking, and airport lounge access, among other benefits.
The cardholders can earn up to six travel credits on every Rs 200 travel spend and up to two travel credits on spending Rs 200 on other categories. One can convert these travel credits into air miles/hotel points of respective partners or directly use them to book air tickets and hotel accommodations by visiting the SBI Card mobile app or website.
