What it's worth to you, after the fee

Welcome: ₹500 of gift vouchers on paying the fee and spending ₹2,000 within 30 days of issuance

Not valued. We can't value this card until the issuer publishes how it earns — every net-value number here would be a fee subtracted from rewards nobody has described. Everything we can source — the fee, the charges, the migration that put this card in your hand — is above and stands on its own; this card is simply not on the board, not in the calculator, and cannot win a best-of call until RBL Bank publishes terms we can cite.

2 notes on the card itself: how it is issued · why it ranks #290

RBL Bank · Not published · entry

Why #290 Carried, not valued. The 5% grocery cashback is documented to the rupee and the ordinary-spend rate is documented nowhere, so there is no rate to rank it on.

₹499 + GST

₹50,000 spend
Fee waiver

The take

ShopDaily is the stripped version of ShopSmart: the same 5% cashback on grocery spend capped at ₹250 a month, the same ₹500 welcome voucher, the same ₹499 fee reversing on ₹50,000 of eligible spend — and none of the BookMyShow buy-one-get-one that makes its twin worth carrying. RBL's own benefit ledger for this card runs to three lines and totals ₹4,000 against ShopSmart's ₹9,400. If you are choosing between the two, there is no version of the arithmetic where this one wins; if you already hold it, ask RBL to move you across. The cashback lands as reward points claimed at rblrewards.rbl.bank.in, not as a statement credit, and beyond the grocery rung RBL publishes no earn rate at all.

Your renewal — keep, downgrade or cancel

There is no renewal arithmetic to run on this card yet — and a break-even we cannot source is not one we will print.

Keep, downgrade or cancel

what we can and cannot price

Not valued. We can't value this card until the issuer publishes how it earns — every net-value number here would be a fee subtracted from rewards nobody has described. A break-even is the spend at which value crosses a fee, and we are short one side of that sentence — so this desk prints no ladder, no crossing and no ₹0 standing in for either. What we can source about this card is under Sources.

The downgrade

RBL Bank publishes no document naming a card you can step down to, so we name none — an invented product change is a phone call you would waste. That leaves keep or cancel, and we cannot price either side of it.

What has changed under this card

  • 7 Jan 2026 RBL bolts a 1% fee onto FASTag loads and tolls — the fifth 1% line on its charge sheet issuer-wide
  • 1 Jul 2025 RBL gates domestic lounges behind ₹35k a quarter issuer-wide
  • 15 Oct 2024 RBL strips points from education, government and wallet spends issuer-wide

If you call to cancel

What the bank offers to keep you is the one fact this desk cannot compute. We are collecting those reports — dated, and only in aggregate — before publishing any: an offer one reader was made is not one you are owed. Called about this card? Tell us what they offered →

The desk publishes subscribable .ics feeds for the dates it knows — offer deadlines, devaluations, expiry audits. Your renewal date is not one of them: only your statement knows it.

What's good

  • 5% cashback on all grocery spend, capped at ₹250 a month
  • Fee reverses on ₹50,000 of eligible annual spend
  • ₹500 of welcome vouchers on ₹2,000 of spend in 30 days

Watch out

  • Platinum ShopSmart costs the same ₹499 and adds a monthly BookMyShow buy-one-get-one
  • RBL publishes NO ordinary-spend reward rate for this card — we will not print one it has not stated
  • The 5% grocery rung stops at ₹250 a month, which is ₹5,000 of groceries
  • The cashback is credited as reward points and must be claimed at rblrewards.rbl.bank.in
  • Fuel, auto, quasi-cash, railways, rent, education, insurance, utilities, government, wallet, cash and EMI are all excluded
  • RBL charges 1% on FIVE transaction types its Schedule of Charges lists separately from the reward exclusions: rent (MCC 6513, on every transaction), fuel and auto above ₹10,000 a transaction (capped at ₹3,000), utility spends above ₹50,000 a month, education paid through third-party apps such as CRED, PhonePe or Paytm (school and college websites are exempt), and — with effect from 7 January 2026 — FASTag loading and tolls above ₹10,000 a transaction. These are FEES, listed nowhere near the reward exclusions: a category can both cost you 1% and earn you nothing

What these points actually fly

RBL Bank has not published what this card earns, so there are no points here to fly with — not zero points, and not points that go nowhere: nothing stated either way. The moment a benefit sheet exists we will price whatever it names.

Does your spend count toward the fee waiver?

not published — and we say which

₹50,000 a year is the bar that waives the ₹499 fee. A different question from the one above — earning points and counting toward a threshold are separate rules, and issuers write them separately.

Not published. RBL Bank states what the RBL Platinum ShopDaily earns, but has not published which spend categories count toward the fee waiver — the ₹50,000 bar. We won't guess it from the earn table or from a sibling card: Axis published three cards' rules on one day and all three lists differed. If you hold this card and have it in writing from the issuer, send us the document and we'll source it.

    Launch minor RBL Bank
    RBL relaunches the Shoppers Stop co-brand as a Gold / Platinum / Black trio
    An older single Shoppers Stop co-brand line → Three tiers — Gold (₹1,000), Platinum (₹5,000), Black (₹10,000) annual — earning 10 RP/₹200 (Gold, Platinum) or 15 RP/₹200 (Black) across the Shoppers Stop Universe, with points worth ₹0.25 / ₹0.50 / ₹1.00 respectively

    RBL rebuilt its Shoppers Stop co-brand into a three-card ladder. The fee rung buys a richer point, not just more of them: a Reward Point is worth ₹0.25 on Gold, ₹0.50 on Platinum and ₹1.00 on Black, so Black's 15 RP per ₹200 at ₹1 a point is a genuine 7.5% back on First Citizen days inside the Shoppers Stop Universe. Welcome vouchers scale the same way (₹500 quarterly on Gold, ₹2,000 plus Platinum membership and a makeover on Platinum, ₹1,500 quarterly on Black). No lounge access on any of the three — these are store cards and earn like it, with value only inside Shoppers Stop. All three are already on our board.
