Pros
- Complimentary credit card fraud liability cover of Rs. 1 lakh
- Complimentary Overseas Accident cover of Rs. 50 lakh
- 8 complimentary railway lounge access in India
Cons
- No golf benefits
- No complimentary airport lounge access
Pros
- The FBB SBI STYLEUP CONTACTLESS CARD comes with flexi pay option, which enables individuals to convert all transaction into easy monthly segments
- With balance transfer facility, transfer any other outstanding credit card balance to your SBI Card. And then on you can repay them under easy instalments and a lower rate of interest
- The card gives 10X reward point on all spending at Big Bazaar, FBB and Food Bazaar, along with the dining spending
Cons
- As the FBB SBI STYLEUP CONTACTLESS CARD is pivoted more towards fashion spending and urban usage, it is a bit weak for heavy daily usage. Although it has got a global footmark, yet its features might seem limited to a seasoned traveller
- The card lacks in the domestic cluster in features such as domestic travel, airfares and so on. Health facility is also not well covered
