You can apply for the PSB SBI Card PRIME credit card online by following the instructions given below:
If you want to apply offline, you may do so by going to a Punjab & Sind Bank branch that accepts credit card applications. Proceed as follows:
The complimentary air accident insurance of Rs.50 lakh with the PSB SBI Card PRIME would be discontinued from 15 August 2025. Post 15 August 2025, existing cardholders will no longer be entitled to the above insurance benefit, and SBI Cards will no longer bear liability for claims in respect of an event occurring after this benefit is withdrawn.
Reward points earned on the PSB SBI Card PRIME can only be redeemed on the SBI Card rewards platform for selected gift vouchers, items or can be redeemed directly at any of the Landmark group outlets branded Lifestyle, Home Centre, Max and Spar, at the redemption rate of 4 points = Rs.1.
Complimentary airport lounge access for domestic or international flights is not included in the PSB SBI Card PRIME at the time of issuance. If you need lounge access, you will have to either pay the applicable fee for entry into the lounge or consider an SBI Card variant that offers access to the lounge.
You earn reward points only on the transaction value at the point of purchase. If you convert the purchase to EMIs with Flexipay after the fact, you will not get any additional points on the EMIs related to that purchase, including interest or charges. There are additional restrictions; this applies only to purchases of Rs.2,500 and over, and the request for the EMI conversion must be made within 30 days.
The rewards points earned on the PSB SBI Card PRIME cannot be pooled or transferred to any other SBI credit cards. Each card account keeps its own separate reward point balance, and the reward point redemption must be done through that card's rewards portal.
The customer will receive a 1 percent waiver on fuel surcharge for transactions between Rs.500 and Rs.4,000 on any petrol station in India. But the maximum you can avail of in terms of fuel surcharge as waiver in the same billing cycle is Rs.250. Fuel transactions do not earn any rewards points on the PSB SBI Card PRIME.
You can ask for three add-on cards on your PSB SBI Card PRIME. An add-on card can be issued to members of your immediate family, including your spouse, children, siblings, or parents, if they are at least 18 years old. There is a common credit limit for add-on card transactions. The transactions made through the add-on cards will show on the main card statement.
The contactless functionality for the PSB SBI Card PRIME is secure which has been enabled by Visa payWave. For card purchases of Rs.5 lakhs and over, the card holder will be required to enter a PIN to authorise the payments. This adds security for users on high-value transactions.
Currently, SBI Card does not offer direct upgrades or product conversion from an existing SBI Card to the PSB SBI Card PRIME. If interested in the co-branded card, you will have to apply for the card as a new credit card and satisfy the eligibility criteria in place at the time of completing the application form. Approval is at the discretion of SBI based on their regular review process.
Milestone rewards, like vouchers and annual bonus points on the PSB SBI Card PRIME, are all paid on the basis of tracking spend, done by SBI Card. If you get a voucher in relation to Pizza Hut, for example, it should be sent to you within 21 working days of the end of the qualification period.
