Bottom Line
The cards are designed to bring you exclusive services. Its hotel and dining vouchers along with free cancellation makes it unique. SBI decided to design this card after the success of Axis Vistara Card. This card even gives you points on fuel spend.
Although, they provide only economy class tickets with both of the card types. We don’t why they are not providing business class tickets with premium card. There should be any reason, but we hope that they will think in this matter and start providing business class tickets shortly.
Overall the card is good, on spending with strategy you will end up with good benefits.
