If you have a Club Vistara co-branded credit card issued by SBI Card or IDFC First Bank, you will find that some of the best benefits that lure you into the cards are being taken away. From April 1, 2025, most of the milestone ticket vouchers and renewal benefits will not be available to the cardholders.
What has changed and how it will affect you?
IDFC First Bank Credit Card
The Club Vistara IDFC First Credit Card has a change notification. The big change is that the milestone benefits will not be offered anymore starting March 31, 2025.
For now, the consolation is that customers still can earn Maharaja Points until March 31, 2026, after which the card will be deactivated. Last but not least, the Club Vistara Silver Membership is going away too.
The free premium economy ticket & class upgrade voucher, Milestone vouchers for premium economy tickets
But there is something good here: anyone getting a renewal after March 31, 2025, will get an annual fee waiver for a year.
SBI Credit Card
Now No Ticket Vouchers! SBI Card is also making major changes to its Club Vistara SBI Credit Card and of course the Club Vistara SBI PRIME Credit Card.
These vouchers will be discontinued effective April 1, 2025, both the economy and the premium economy ticket vouchers.
Changes:
- No more milestone benefits at all for annual spend of Rs 1.25 lakh, Rs 2.5 lakh, and Rs 5 lakh.
- No more premium economy ticket vouchers under the Club Vistara SBI PRIME Credit Card.
New Annual Charges:
- Base Card: Rs 1,499
- PRIME Card: Rs 2,999
- (However, a fee waiver option will still be available.)
