I am using Paytm First Credit Card since the year 2019, the Paytm First Card was issued by Citibank. In May 2019, Citibank and Paytm launched their Co-branded Paytm First Credit Card.
This card is issued in the Visa category, generally, every credit comes in two categories which are Visa and Maestro but this card comes in the Visa category only. The card is accepted worldwide.
Below are the detailed features and benefits of the Paytm First Credit Card:
Welcome Benefit
You will get Rs.1,000 cashback as a statement credit if you spend Rs.5,000 or more within 30 days from the date of card issuance. Cashback will be credited to your Paytm Credit Card account within 90 days from the date of transaction.
Cashback on Paytm First Credit Card
Earlier there was cashback @ 1% on the amount spent, there was no restriction regarding the category to spend or any minimum value. But now Citi bank has issued new terms and conditions, as per which the cashback on all spend done using Paytm First Credit Card will be given as below:
- Spends on Paytm mall- 5%
- Flight bookings on Paytm- 2%
- Other spend on Paytm app and website- 3% (No cashback on transactions less than Rs 50)
- Spends on Platform other than Paytm – 1% (No cashback on transactions less than Rs 50)
- No cashback on fuel and wallet load transactions
All other terms will remain the same such as no maximum cap on the amount of cash back earned on Paytm First Credit Card and no redemption fee. The disadvantage of the card is that you don’t receive any bonus points on achieving the spending milestone while this feature is available in most of the cards.
Cashback accumulated will be reflecting in the statement at the time of statement generation. This will be posted to the customer account on the next working day after the statement is generated. Illustrative example on cashback earn:
For a Paytm First Card with statement cycle on 10th of each month, card statement is generated on 10th July for spends between 11th Jun to 10th Jul consisting of below transactions:
