Review of Air India SBI Signature Credit Card
Air India SBI Card is a mid-level travel credit card by SBI Card and Air India. It can be the card of choice for you if you’re a frequent domestic flyer as you not only earn accelerated reward points on Air India spends, which are convertible into Air India Air Miles but also get eight complimentary domestic airport lounge visits every year (2 per quarter). However, if you’re looking for an entry-level travel SBI credit card, you might want to have a look at Air India SBI Platinum Credit Card.
