Cons

  • Interest rate charges are bit high
  • While the IRCTC SBI Platinum Card offer satisfactory rewards, there several other cards which give you better flexibility while booking flights from any airlines and yet gain reward points

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
