Major banks (SBI, Axis, HDFC) are gutting credit-card rewards/lounge access to push users into higher spend and EMI traps.

Summary

  • SBI credit cards capped at Rs.4,000 monthly cashback, Rs.2,000 online, no cashback on govt transactions, 60K reward points monthly redemption cap from April 1
  • Axis Bank Airtel card lost free domestic lounge access, Swiggy/BigBasket cashback removed; cancelled premium partnerships with Accor Live, Marriott, Qatar Airways Privilege Club
  • HDFC Bank Regalia card: reward redemption ratio changed (5 points = Rs.2 vs prior 4 points = Rs.1.50); 3 quarterly lounge accesses now require Rs.60K prior-quarter spend; Infinia annual fee waiver threshold raised from Rs.10L to Rs.18L
  • Banks cutting benefits because partner-side costs (hotels, lounges, cashbacks) hurt their bottom line โ€” incentive shifts users toward EMI conversion where banks earn interest
