The PhonePe SBI Card SELECT BLACK charges ₹1,499 plus GST as a joining fee and the same ₹1,499 again at renewal. SBI Card waives the renewal fee if you spend ₹3L in the previous year, which is about ₹25,000 a month. If your card spend sits below that, treat ₹1,499 as a real yearly cost that your rewards have to clear first.
Total Reward Points on PhonePe & Pincode App spends and Online spends are limited at 4000 Reward Points per calendar month.
Utilities, insurance and UPI spends outside PhonePe may not earn accelerated rewards
