Cashback SBIThe Cashback Credit Card charges ₹1,000 plus GST as a joining fee and the same ₹1,000 again at renewal. Axis Bank waives the renewal fee if you spend ₹4L in the previous year, which is about ₹33,333 a month. If your card spend sits below that, treat ₹1,000 as a real yearly cost that your rewards have to clear first.
Online cashback is tiered: 2% up to ₹5,000, 5% from ₹5,001 to ₹40,000, and 7% above ₹40,000 per statement month.
Total cashback on accelerated (online) spends is limited at ₹4,000 per statement month.
0.5% cashback on Utilities is limited at ₹100 per statement month.
Cashback is not paid on categories such as transportation, tolls, insurance, educational institutions, jewellery, precious metals, watches, government institutions, wallet loads, rent and fuel.
