Yatra SBI Card competes with other cards co-branded with travel portals, such as Standard Chartered EaseMyTrip, MakeMyTrip ICICI and Ixigo AU Credit Card. Among these, the Standard Chartered Card and AU Card work on the same ‘direct discount’ model as Yatra SBI Card, whereas MMT ICICI offers accelerated reward earnings as MyCash. All these cards charge low annual fee but have their own pros and cons. For example, MMT ICICI and Ixigo AU provide low forex mark-up fee and lounge access benefits, which are not available on Yatra SBI Card. Hence, consumers should choose the right card basis their brand preferences and the need for additional travel perks.

Paisabazaar Review
What do we like about this card?
In a market where most travel credit cards belong to the mid-range or premium segment, Yatra SBI Card is among the best low annual fee credit cards. At a cost of Rs. 500, cardholders can get significant savings on their domestic flight, domestic hotels and international flight bookings. In addition to this, the card extends benefits on some everyday spending categories like grocery, dining, departmental stores, movies, entertainment and international spends. However, cardholders do not get any benefits on international hotel bookings nor do they get a low forex mark-up fee, limiting the saving potential for international travellers. Despite being a travel card, it does not offer any lounge access benefit, which can again be a drawback. Travellers who do not wish to pay a high annual fee and save a good amount on their bookings may consider this card.
