Our verdict

SBI Card Miles Prime is a travel card with 8 domestic and 4 international lounge visits a year at a ₹2,999 annual fee. Travel spends (airlines, hotels, travel agencies) earn 4 Travel Credits per ₹200, worth ₹1 each when converted to Air Miles or hotel points (about 2% value), against about 1% on other eligible spends. The fee is waived at ₹10 lakh annual spend, which is a high bar for occasional travellers.

Pros

  • 4 Travel Credits per ₹200 on travel spends — about 2% value when converted to Air Miles or hotel points
  • 8 domestic and 4 international lounge visits a year
  • 2.5% forex markup — lower than SBI's standard 3.5%
  • Annual fee waived at ₹10 lakh spend

Cons

  • About 1% value on other eligible spends — modest base earn rate, and fuel, rent, utilities and wallet spends earn nothing
  • Only 4 international lounge visits a year
  • Credits are worth about half (1%) if redeemed on travel bookings
