All cards / RBL Bank

RBL Bank ShopRite
A budget-friendly cashback card with a strong grocery reward rate — fuel, utilities, insurance, and a few other categories are excluded from earning rewards entirely. The welcome bonus only credits after the first purchase is made within 30 days of receiving the card and registering on the RBL MyCard app, so it is easy to miss if the card sits unused. There is a modest BookMyShow ticket discount usable up to fifteen times a year, but the card carries no lounge access, golf, or travel insurance, and cashing out points attracts a small redemption fee.
