HDFC Bank is the largest private sector bank in India and it recently introduced the UPI RuPay credit card that allows cardholders to link the card with their UPI ID and make transactions on UPI apps like Paytm, Mobikwik, PhonePe, Google Pay, etc. This is the first time that a credit card can be linked with UPI and used to make transactions. This card is launched by HDFC Bank to offer both convenience and easy credit to their customers as it allows safe and secure transactions on BHIM and other UPI apps. The UPI RuPay credit card offers up to 3% cashback on both UPI and regular transactions on certain spend categories. One thing about this card is that you just get it virtually and no physical card will be delivered to you. Read on to know more about the credit card and its offerings.

Etihad Guest SBI Premier Credit Card

SBI tied up with the UAE-based Etihad Airways airline and launched two travel credit cards in 2019: Etihad Guest SBI Credit Card and Etihad Guest SBI Premier Card. Needless to say, the Premier version offers more benefits and also carries a higher annual fee. Back then, the travel industry was one of the booming industries in the country. SBI probably launched this card considering that the travel-related spends accounted for 33% of the overall card spends in the SBI credit card portfolio at the time of launch of the card (certainly not the case now, due to the COVID pandemic). Also, Dubai is one of the favorite destinations among Indian travelers as there is a fairly large diaspora of NRIs in Dubai and many Indian HNIs (high net-worth individuals) frequently travel to Dubai on business trips. Etihad Guest SBI Premier card earns you Etihad Airways AirMiles (called Etihad Guest Miles) for every Rs. 100 spent using the card (number of AirMiles earned varies depending upon the category of spends). You also get many travel-related welcome benefits and milestone advantages with the premier card. Keep reading to know more about the card:
