Wallet Load Fee: A 1 per cent fee will be charged on every wallet load transaction above Rs 1,000.
Earlier Changes:
Just last month, SBI Card had made revisions as well. From September 16, 2025, all CPP customers were automatically shifted to the new plan variants as per their renewal due dates.
From September 1, 2025, SBI Card stopped offering reward points on spends made through digital gaming platforms, government-related transactions, and on certain Lifestyle-branded SBI Cards. This includes the Lifestyle Home Centre, Spar, and Max series across Standard, SELECT, and PRIME variants.
Another major change came earlier, on July 15, 2025, when SBI Card discontinued the Rs 1 crore complimentary Air Accident Insurance that was previously available to Elite, Miles Elite, and Miles Prime cardholders.
These changes highlight how banks are increasingly charging for convenience-based services. For users, it’s a reminder to always check the fine print and stay updated on new terms. By keeping track of such revisions, you can avoid surprise fees and continue to use your credit card in the most beneficial way.
