No longer available· Discontinued November 2024

If you hold this card: Vistara has ceased operations, so the card is closed to new applicants and its Club Vistara Points were migrated 1:1 to Air India Maharaja Points — redeem them through Air India. Milestone flight benefits ended for cards renewed after 1 April 2025.

SBI’s Club Vistara co-brand ended after Vistara merged into Air India (last flights November 2024) and Club Vistara was folded into Air India’s Maharaja Club. CV Points were converted to Maharaja Points; there is no direct successor, so SBI steers travel-reward seekers to the SBI Miles family.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Earned 3 Club Vistara Points per ₹200 on all retail spends including fuel
  • No renewal fee from the second year onwards
  • 4 domestic lounge visits plus a complimentary Priority Pass membership
  • Economy-class air-ticket voucher at annual-spend milestones

Cons

  • Discontinued — Vistara ceased operations after merging into Air India in November 2024
  • No longer open to new applicants; existing holders migrated to Air India
  • CV Points converted to Air India Maharaja Points on the merger
  • Milestone benefits were withdrawn for renewals after 1 April 2025

Quick verdict: This card is discontinued. The Club Vistara SBI Card was an entry-level Vistara co-brand that earned 3 CV Points per ₹200 on all spends, a complimentary Economy-class air-ticket voucher at annual-spend milestones, plus lounge access and Priority Pass. After Vistara merged into Air India in November 2024, the card was closed to new applicants and holders were migrated to Air India. This page is kept for reference and history.

Why it's discontinued

Vistara — the Tata–Singapore Airlines joint venture — was folded into Air India, with its last independent flights in November 2024. When a co-brand loses its airline, the card loses its purpose. SBI stopped issuing the Club Vistara SBI Card to new applicants, and existing cardholders were transitioned as the merger completed. You cannot apply for this card today; what follows is background, not a recommendation.

What it offered (for the record)

While live, this was the accessible entry to the Club Vistara co-brand range, sitting below the PRIME:

  • 3 Club Vistara Points per ₹200 on all retail categories, including fuel.
  • A complimentary Economy-class air-ticket voucher (valued at around ₹5,000) on reaching annual-spend

milestones — ₹5 lakh of spend.

  • 4 domestic lounge visits a year (max 1/quarter) plus a Priority Pass membership worth $99,

complimentary for 24 months.

  • Travel insurance: lost-card liability to ₹1 lakh, flight-cancellation cover and baggage protections.

It carried a ₹1,499 joining fee with no renewal fee from the second year — which is why the recurring fee shows as nil now that the card is no longer renewed. Milestone benefits were withdrawn for cards due for renewal after 1 April 2025, ahead of the wind-down.

What happened to Club Vistara Points

For former holders, the key practical point: Club Vistara Points were migrated to Air India's Maharaja Points programme. Existing balances are redeemable through Air India's loyalty programme and its partner airlines, not the old Club Vistara portal.

Where holders should go now

If you held this card for travel rewards, the natural successors are SBI's Miles family, which runs on transferable Travel Credits with no single-airline lock-in:

travel.

The bottom line

The Club Vistara SBI Card was a reasonable entry travel co-brand while Vistara flew, but it is now a historical product: the airline is gone, the card is closed, and Club Vistara Points live on as Air India Maharaja Points. Treat this page as reference — and for SBI travel rewards today, look at the Miles family instead.

Reviewed by · Cards tested, miles earned, trips booked — for over a decade

I have spent over a decade on Indian credit cards, mostly for the points and miles. I am a software engineer by profession, I hold and use the cards I write about, and I redeem through airline and hotel transfer partners: Avios, KrisFlyer, Flying Blue, Air India Maharaja Club, Accor ALL, Marriott Bonvoy and Taj. What I write about is what a card is actually worth after the fine print, the caps and exclusions that decide the real return, and the changes issuers make quietly. No paid placements.

Frequently asked questions

Can I still apply for the Club Vistara SBI Card?
No. Vistara ceased operations after merging into Air India (last flights in November 2024), and this co-brand card is discontinued and closed to new applicants. This page is retained for reference only.
What happened to my Club Vistara Points?
Following the Vistara–Air India merger, Club Vistara Points were migrated to Air India's Maharaja Points programme. Existing balances are redeemable through Air India's loyalty programme and its partner airlines.
What did the card cost?
It had a ₹1,499 joining fee and no renewal fee from the second year onwards. Because it is no longer renewed, the recurring fee is effectively nil.
What should Vistara card holders use now?
For flexible travel rewards, SBI's Miles family — the base Miles or the mid-tier MILES PRIME — lets you transfer credits to airline and hotel partners without a single-airline lock-in.

Air India Maharaja Club 2026: The Big Revaluation, the Vistara Merger, and What It Means for Your Points

Air India's loyalty programme has changed more in two years than in the previous twenty: Flying Returns rebuilt around spend-based earning, Club Vistara folded in after the 2024 merger, then a sweeping 1 April 2026 award-chart revaluation that cut most economy redemption prices while raising premium-cabin ones. It covers the new Maharaja Club end to end — tiers, earning, who won and lost, Star Alliance sweet spots, feeding points from Indian credit cards, and the old Vistara cards.

Virgin Atlantic Flying Club for Indian Cardholders 2026: Tiers, Partners and What Virgin Points Buy

Virgin Atlantic flies double-daily to Delhi and Mumbai and 13 times a week to Bengaluru, and since 18 August 2026 American Express India moves Membership Rewards into Flying Club at 5:4, the best airline ratio on the Amex India menu. This guide covers the programme itself: Virgin Points (which never expire), the Red/Silver/Gold ladder at 400 and 1,000 Tier Points, all 25 airline partners including IndiGo, Household pooling across 10 people, and the hotel back doors that open the programme to Axis, HDFC, HSBC, SBI and Kotak holders. It also covers what most programme guides get wrong: Virgin prices its own seats dynamically, so a Delhi–London award ranges from 6,000 points to 76,000 depending on the date.

What Your Credit-Card Points Are Actually Worth in Rupees (2026): NeuCoins, EDGE Miles, Reward Points, Decoded

A '1 point' is not ₹1 — and the gap between what a point is marketed at and what you can actually pull out of it is where most Indian cardholders quietly lose value. This guide teaches the one valuation method that matters — a point is worth what you can extract via the best route you'll really use — and works through the real rupee value of the currencies people search by name: Tata NeuCoins, Axis EDGE Miles vs EDGE Reward Points, HDFC Reward Points, Amex Membership Rewards and generic issuer points. It also walks you through the free CardAdvisor Points Valuator so you can see the number for your own card.
