Shopping cards are credit cards which offer a high reward rate on shopping purchases.
Shopping cards can be of various types –
Fixed reward rate shopping cards : These cards offer the same rate of benefit on all your shopping purchases.
Variable reward rate shopping cards : These cards offer different rates of rewards on different kinds of shopping purchases. These cards usually have a promotion category on which they offer a higher rate of benefit , while they offer a lower benefit rate on your other purchases. For example, some cards could offer a higher benefit rate on online purchases, and a lower benefit rate on in-store purchases. Cards could also have more than 1 promotion category.
Co-brand shopping cards : These cards are issued by card issuers in partnership with a specific merchant. For example Axis Flipkart card and ICICI Amazon Pay card are co-brand credit cards that offer a higher benefit rate on Flipkart & Amazon purchases respectively.
Fixed reward rate shopping cards normally have a lower reward rate compared to the other 2 types of shopping cards.
The main benefit of course is that shopping cards offer a higher reward rate on all your shopping purchases, or on certain categories of shopping purchases.
The main disadvantage is that higher shopping benefits are only available on certain shopping categories , or on specific shops. For example, SBI cashback card offers 5% on online shopping, but this card may not be suitable for those who do not like online shopping and prefer to shop in stores. Similarly , Axis Flipkart card may also not be suitable for those who prefer to shop in stores, and who also do not like being restricted only to Flipkart for their shopping needs.
The higher reward rate on certain categories & certain merchants may also be offered only on a certain amount of monthly purchases. So you may need to track your monthly purchases on these promotion categories or promotion merchants, to maximise your benefits.
These cards may also not offer attractive benefits on your other major purchases like travel, fuel, bill payments etc . For these needs of yours, you may like to consider other credit cards –
Best travel cards || Best fuel cards || Best free cards || Best utility bill payment cards || Best premium cards || Best beginner cards || Best cashback cards
Hence one needs to keep in mind all these factors when choosing a shopping card.
