You'll land on the issuer's official application portal at linksredirect.com — if a different card is shown first, use its card selector to pick this one.
Overview
One of India's most popular entry-level cashback cards. You get 5% on utility bills and recharges via Google Pay, 4% on Swiggy, Zomato and Ola, and an uncapped 1.5% on everything else — auto-credited to your statement, no redemption needed. It also adds lounge access, rare at this fee.
Best for
- Android users who pay utility bills and recharges via Google Pay.
- Swiggy / Zomato / Ola regulars.
- Anyone wanting simple, auto-credited cashback with lounge access at a low fee.
Not ideal for
- IPhone users — the headline 5% Google Pay bill category is Android-only, so you'd lose the main benefit.
- Heavy foreign spenders also face a 3.5% forex markup.

Plain math
₹10,000/month of Google Pay bill payments at 5% hits the ₹500 monthly cap — about ₹6,000 a year — and the uncapped 1.5% base covers the rest. Cashback is credited straight to your statement, so there's nothing to redeem.
Travel & lounge
Lounge access
4 complimentary domestic airport lounge visits a year, unlocked by ₹50,000 spend in the previous 3 months (the spend requirement is waived for the first 4 months on new cards).
