conclusion
Flipkart SBI Card is a great lifestyle credit card for India’s digital-first buyers. If you have most of your purchases on Flipkart, Mantra, Cleartrip and Food/Travel Brands, this card can save ₹ 20,000+ annually.
But if you do occasionally shopping online, a cashback card without faes or a card focused on fuel/grocery can be more beneficial.
Keep in mind: Credit card is beneficial only when you pay the bill and complete the bill every month, otherwise the interest charge will end the benefit of all the cashback.
