Being a premium offering, the SBI Bank ELITE Credit Card comes packed with some of the best-in-class value-added privileges that one expects from a premium credit card, including complimentary domestic and international lounge visits, complimentary shopping vouchers, and discounted rates on hotel bookings, free movie tickets and many other add-on benefits. Talking about this card’s reward rate, you earn 2 Rewards on every Rs. 100 purchase with the card (reward rate of 0.5% as 1 Reward Point = Rs. 0.25) and 5X Reward Points per Rs. 100 on departmental stores, dining, and grocery spends (reward rate of 2.5%). SBI ELITE Credit Card comes in three variants- Visa, MasterCard, and American Express.  While most benefits are the same across all three variants, the payment networks offer some exclusive benefits as well.
