The SBI Cashback Credit Card — a popular offering in SBI Card’s portfolio — is designed for digital-savvy consumers who prefer simplicity, flexibility, and instant savings. Unlike reward point-based cards, this card offers platform-independent flat-rate cashback that is automatically credited to the statement, making it a no-hassle solution for everyday online spending.

Positioned as a low-maintenance, high-return card, it targets users who frequently shop online across major platforms like Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, Ajio, and more. With an affordable annual fee of ₹999 and no reward tracking required, the Cashback Card is a compelling product in the entry-level to mid-range cashback segment.

Over time, this card has established itself as a reliable option for customers who prioritize real cashback over complicated points systems, making it one of India’s most straightforward and rewarding credit cards for online spending.
