How do I extract every rupee?

Plays grounded in this card's specific levers. Updated each time Standard Chartered tweaks the program.

01

Book weekend dinners to earn 5% back

Weekend dining shifts base 3 RP/₹100 to 5 RP/₹100 — 5% effective at 1 RP = ₹1. A ₹5,000 Saturday dinner returns 250 RP versus 150 RP on a weekday. Move group meals, anniversaries and celebrations into Saturday–Sunday windows.

02

Front-load foreign travel on this card

Forex spend earns 5 RP/₹100 (5%) but carries a 3.5% markup — net 1.5% after markup, richer than most cards' post-markup returns. On a ₹5 lakh Europe trip, net 1.5% is ₹7,500 RP after the ₹17,500 markup is absorbed.

03

Use both the 2 domestic and 2 international lounge slots monthly

Benefit resets monthly at 2+2 visits — carrying forward isn't allowed, so unused slots evaporate. Annualised that's 24 domestic + 24 international. Route the primary AND supplementary card through Priority Pass to max a family's monthly allowance.

04

Run one green fee or lesson every month

Golf benefit is 1 complimentary green fee OR 1 lesson per calendar month, not carried forward. Booking 12 rounds annually at ₹3,000-₹5,000/round preserves ₹36,000-₹60,000 of green fees per year — a direct offset against the zero-fee card.

05

Redeem in 1,000-point blocks and stay under 3 years

Redemption catalogue clears at 1 RP = ₹1 with a 1,000-point minimum and a ₹99 fee per redemption. Points expire 3 years from accrual — plan bulk redemptions annually to dilute the ₹99 fee (0.99% drag at 10,000 points vs 9.9% at 1,000).

05 COSTS

What will I pay?

Fees, transaction charges, interest rates — all inclusive of taxes where noted.

06 BENEFITS

What else comes with it?

Non-reward perks — lounges, dining, golf, insurance, concierge. Worth factoring into the total value, even when hard to price.

Airport lounges

16 domestic + 24 international visits per year via Priority Pass. Primary cardholder.

Travel cover

Air accident cover, lost-card liability, emergency card replacement abroad.

07 FAQ

Common questions

Yes — joining and annual fee are both ₹0 for eligible Priority Banking clients, and supplementary cards are also zero-fee. But eligibility isn't universal: you must maintain ₹50 lakh average monthly Funds Under Management with SC or credit ₹3 lakh monthly salary into your SC salary account.
