How To Earn Reward Points Using Your SBI Credit Card
I use my SBI credit card for various type of transactions like paying a post-paid mobile bill, paying society maintenance charges, while buying groceries online from Bigbasket, shopping online from Amazon or Flipkart, purchasing fuel, recharging my DTH (Tata Sky) connection, booking movie tickets from BookMyShow.com etc.
With every transaction, I am earning State Bank Rewards Points. Which I can redeem later in various ways.
If you ask me what is the SBI reward points value in Rupees? or 1 reward point is equal to how many rupees? Then let me tell you that, it is not exactly 1 reward point = 1 Rupee. E.g. If you are using SBI SimplySAVE Advantage Credit Card, then you can enjoy a conversion rate of 4 Reward Points = Rs. 1.
