Credit Card
Review
SBI SimplyCLICK Credit Card is an entry-level Credit Card from SBICards a Subsidiary of the State Bank of India, and is primarily suitable for the ones who have their primary spending on online merchants as it has decent rewards on online transactions. A thing which I like about SBI cards is the look of their cards. Just like the SBI Prime Credit Card, SimplyCLICK Credit Card is also a good looking card.

Should you get it?
Well, if you have most of the spending on online merchants, then you can get this card as it gives a decent return of 1.25% on online spends (and up to 2.5% on some specific merchants). One other benefit of the SBI SimplyCLICK Credit Card is that SBI regularly comes up with merchant specific offers such as Amazon, Flipkart etc which gives additional savings on top of the reward points earned. The annual fee waiver condition of spending Rs 1L is also achievable easily in my opinion. I applied for this card as an upgrade from my SBI IRCTC Credit Card (actually a “downgrade” since IRCTC is a platinum card).
Apply for the SBI SimplyCLICK Credit card and enjoy an Amazon gift voucher of Rs 500 when you pay the joining fee.
