Quick Analysis

The RBL Bank Play Credit Card is a niche entertainment card designed exclusively for frequent BookMyShow users. With Rs.500 annual fee (free for SuperStar members, waived on Rs.1.5L spend), it offers excellent value through monthly movie benefits - 2 free tickets worth Rs.500 plus Rs.100 F&B discount on Rs.5,000 spend. Annual savings potential of Rs.6,000 makes it worthwhile for regular moviegoers. However, lack of lounge access, insurance, high forex markup, and limited general rewards make it unsuitable as a primary card. Best used as a secondary card alongside a comprehensive rewards or travel card.
