If you hold this card: Vistara has ceased operations, so this premium co-brand is closed to new applicants and its Club Vistara Points were migrated 1:1 to Air India Maharaja Points. Premium Economy ticket milestones were withdrawn for cards renewed after 1 April 2025.
The premium tier of SBI’s Club Vistara range, withdrawn after Vistara merged into Air India (last flights November 2024) and Club Vistara moved into the Maharaja Club. CV Points became Maharaja Points; there is no direct successor — the SBI Miles family is the nearest current travel option.

The bottom line
Discontinued and closed to new applicants after Vistara folded into Air India, so this page is history rather than a recommendation. It was a capable mid-premium travel co-brand in its time, but its airline no longer flies and Club Vistara Points now live on as Air India Maharaja Points. Anyone wanting SBI travel rewards today should look at the Miles family.
