Some notable offers from SBI Card this month

SBI Card has introduced quite a few offers this month which are worth to be noted and to be mentioned here, I felt and hence I am sharing it here.

SBI Card and ivaluemart is jointly offering very major discounts and offers which are worth noting and can indeed be tried out to get some discounts on some of the products. Among them worth noting is the Canon PowerShot A550 Digital Camera which is offered at Rs. 8500 whose original price was Rs. 9995, so you are indeed saving Rs. 1502. Like this there are some more offer where you are actually getting from 16% to 60% discount on products like Electric Hot plate, Nintendo DS Lite, Nokia Bluetooth ear phone, Pantech Slider Mobile Phone (I have not heard such brand exist in India), perfumes, Casio keyboard player, and Yamaha Home theatre system.
And more worth is that you will be getting freebies like electric steam iron, portable mp3/vcd/cd player, electric oven toaster, and DVD player when you buy any products worth above Rs. 3000 here.

You can find about this offer more here.

Other than this SBI Card has also collaborated with Whizz.in to give very good discounts for digital cameras from 20% and above and free gifts on every purchase.

You can book your Deccan air ticket for a flat rate of Rs. 499 on all sectors that Deccan operates. Anyway, this does not include the usual tax that is applicable for all the tickets, which will be usually more than the ticket price itself. This offer is valid till 31st March.

Buy a Puma footwear and get the 50% off on the second pair using your SBI Card or any Visa card you have. You can find more about this offer here.

Apart from these offers, I would suggest you to not go for any other balance transfer or flexipay (paying your purchases in EMIs) that SBI Card offers, as they to put up a lot of hidden charges on your card without even your knowing. The best way to use your SBI Card is to just use it for purchases and use up their freebies and discount offers that they come up every now and then and pay the full amount due every month (don't ever pay in part or only the minimum balance), as their interest rate calculation seems rather funny and very high when compared to other credit cards.

While other bank's credit cards mention every credits and debits on the statement while SBI Card will not mention all but just put up some charges just like that.

I hope these tips are useful for the SBI Card users. Just do accordingly to avoid excessive charges from SBI Card.
