The card this affects

SBI Card and Eternal — the company behind Zomato, Blinkit and District — announced a co-branded credit card on 15 October 2026, on Mastercard and RuPay. SBI Card’s own product record and its T&C booklet carry the terms:

  • Fee: ₹499 a year plus GST, reversed once you spend ₹2 lakh in the preceding year. Six months of Zomato Gold on activation.
  • 10% instant discount on Zomato and District and on Blinkit’s beauty and electronics aisles, 5% on the rest of Blinkit, groceries included — all inside one cap of ₹2,000 a calendar month. Bistro also takes 10%.
  • Up to 5% cashback at Apollo, ixigo, Uber and Urban Company, capped at ₹1,000 a month across the four. On ixigo it is a 4% instant discount with code IXIGOSBI plus 1% as statement cashback.
  • 1% on all other eligible spends, capped at ₹500 a month, with fuel, rent, insurance, jewellery, education, utilities, wallet loads, gaming and EMI excluded.
  • A District buy-one-get-one movie ticket every month, up to ₹200 off the second ticket.

There is no lounge access and no transfer partner, and SBI’s standard 3.5% forex markup applies. That makes it a cashback card, not a travel card: worth it for a household that orders in often, and a capped 1% card for anyone else. SBI’s record still shows the card as not open online; applications are reported to open in phases from 22 October.
