FASTagVaries—Depends on how the transaction is processed
Details
Status
Depends on how the transaction is processed
Issuer note
Not established: the SBI Rewards Program T&C lists MCC 4784 (tolls) among the Travel MCCs, but a FASTag recharge may not post under that code (it may post as a wallet load, MCC 6540 / 6541, which is excluded, or under another merchant category) and SBI states that identification of eligible transactions is on a best-effort basis. The treatment therefore depends on the transaction route, merchant / payment processor and MCC, so no Travel Credit rate is applied (unresolved, not zero). Prefer recharging FASTag directly through the FASTag issuer's official website / app rather than through a third-party wallet / payment route.

Milestones · 3 recorded
  • Spend ₹10,00,000 per card year → benefit worth ₹2,999 — Annual fee waiver: the renewal fee is waived on annual spends of Rs.10 Lakh or more in the preceding year. Source: SBI Cards - Most Important Terms & Conditions, Section 1.A Annual Fees & Renewal Fees (fee table, pages 1-11).
  • Spend ₹8,00,000 per year → benefit worth ₹10,000 — 10,000 bonus Travel Credits on annual spends of ₹8 lakh. Estimate only, not a cash value: Travel Credits carry no cash value of their own (SBI Rewards Program T&C, section 2(e)). The estimate uses ₹1.00 per Travel Credit, which the T&C supports only for conversion to an Air Mile / Hotel Point (section 2(s)) — the same route the engine already uses for earned Travel Credits; a Travel Credit is worth ₹0.50 for Travel Bookings and ₹0.25 against the Shop & Smile catalogue, so this is an upper-end estimate that depends on how the credits are used. Source: official product-page information (SBI-MILES-PAGE-2026).
  • Spend ₹1,00,000 per card year — 1 additional domestic airport lounge visit for every ₹1 lakh spent, over and above the complimentary visits; additional visits are capped at 12 in a membership year. Recorded once (the product information repeats it). Not valued in rupees: DhanChakshu has no lounge-visit valuation. Source: official product-page information (SBI-MILES-PAGE-2026).
