LIC Launches Lumine and Eclat RuPay Credit Cards In Partnership With IDBI Bank

Life Insurance Corporation Of India (LIC) joined hands with IDBI bank and the NCPI powered payments service platform Rupay to launch two co-branded credit cards- Lumine and Eclat credit cards. As of now, the cards are exclusive for the policyholders, agents, and employees of LIC and its subsidiaries/associates. Both these cards are free for lifetime, i.e. you need not pay any annual card membership fee. These cards are Reward Points cards and earn you IDBI Delight Points on all your spends. You earn accelerated Delight Points on LIC Premium payments. The Delight Points can be redeemed against cashback, for purchasing merchandise, gift cards, bus tickets, movie tickets, flight bookings, hotel reservations, etc on the IDBI Delight portal. Apart from the Reward Points benefits, you also get a plethora of other benefits including Welcome Offers from popular brands and complimentary airport lounge visits with these cards. We have summarised the salient features of the two cards below-

Bottom Line:

These two entry-level credit cards by IDBI and LIC, although free for lifetime, not just offer a fairly good reward rate, but also many other benefits. For example, the LIC Eclat RuPay Select Credit Card gives you complimentary domestic and international lounge access which you don’t get with most entry-level cards. Currently, these cards are exclusive for the policyholders, agents and employees of LIC and its subsidiaries, we hope LIC and IDBI make these cards open to all.
