As per the official statement by the issuer to the stock exchanges, cardholders receive a 10 per cent instant discount on transactions on Zomato, District, Bistro, and eligible electronic and beauty purchases on Blinkit, subject to a combined cap of ₹2,000 per month. 

Additionally, users gain a 5 per cent instant discount on other categories on Blinkit and a 1+1 offer on movie ticket purchases through the District app.

Designed around customers' everyday spending needs, the card brings together compelling cashback benefits, convenience, and value across a wide range of categories. The launch will bolster our retail co-brand credit card portfolio."

Akshant Goyal, Chief Financial Officer of Eternal, added: "'Get more out of every day' is the core belief the Eternal SBI Card is built on. There's a strong opportunity to create more value around the high-frequency transactions that are already a part of our customers' lives. With Zomato, Blinkit and District at the centre, the card brings together these everyday spends in one ecosystem, while extending value beyond it."
