The SimplySAVE SBI Card is designed for individuals who frequently spend on dining, movies, departmental stores, and groceries, offering enhanced reward points in these categories. Cardholders earn 10 reward points per ₹150 spent in these specific categories, and 1 reward point per ₹150 on other expenditures. A notable feature is the waiver of the 1% fuel surcharge at petrol stations across India for transactions between ₹500 and ₹3,000, providing savings on fuel purchases. Additionally, the card offers a spend-based annual fee reversal; if a cardholder spends ₹1,00,000 or more in the previous year, the annual fee for the subsequent year is waived. The unique selling proposition of the SimplySAVE SBI Card lies in its focused rewards structure for essential everyday spending, making it an ideal choice for individuals aiming to maximize benefits on routine purchases.
