BOBCARD Cashback Credit Card Review
Direct-cashback card from BOBCARD with 5% cashback on online spends (capped ₹1,500/month) and unlimited 1% on offline. Auto-credited to statement — no points, no redemption hassle. Verified Apr 2026 against the official BOBCARD product page.
Quick take
The BOBCARD Cashback is a no-nonsense direct-cashback card: 5% on all eligible domestic online spends (capped at ₹1,500 per month, i.e., ₹30,000 of online spend earns the cap) and 1% unlimited on every other spend. Cashback is auto-credited to your statement every month — no reward-point conversion, no redemption portal, no tracking. Mastercard means it works seamlessly with Google Pay for QR-code payments and earns cashback there too.
Cashback structure
| Spend type | Cashback rate | Cap |
|---|---|---|
| Eligible domestic online spends | 5% | ₹1,500 per month (= ₹30,000 of online spend) |
| All other eligible spends | 1% | Unlimited (no cap) |
| Fuel transactions | 0% (excluded from cashback; 1% surcharge waiver applies) | — |
| Transactions below ₹100 | 0% (excluded) | — |
| Select Merchant Category Codes | 0% (excluded; refer T&C for current MCC list) | — |
Why the auto-credit matters
Many credit cards advertise “cashback&rdquo. But actually pay in reward points that you have to track and redeem &mdash. With caps, expiry dates. And value erosion. The BOBCARD Cashback skips all of that: cashback accumulates during the cycle and is automatically credited to your statement every month as a real-money offset against your dues. 1% = ₹1 per ₹100, no redemption math required.
Other features

What we like
- Genuine no-redemption cashback — rare in the Indian market
- 5% online rate matches Amazon Pay ICICI / SBI Cashback at the cap
- Unlimited 1% on offline is competitive with Axis ACE's 1.5% (after caps)
- Mastercard + GPay support means QR scanning earns cashback (RuPay-style UPI cards earn separately)
Where it falls short
- 5% cap of ₹1,500/month means you cap out at ~₹30K monthly online spend — heavy online shoppers will find this restrictive
- Excluded categories (fuel, ₹100-) and select-MCC exclusions reduce real coverage
- BOBCARD ecosystem (offers, partner discounts) is lighter than HDFC/Axis/SBI
