RBL Bank Cookies Credit Card

Mid-tierFee variesCashbackRewardsFuelDining

RBL Cookies is a monthly-fee lifestyle card: instead of an annual charge it levies ₹100 a month, waived automatically in any month you spend ₹5,000 or more the previous month. Its draw is 10% cashback at Zomato, Myntra and Uber (capped ₹900/month, ₹300 per brand), 5X reward points on online spends, and a ₹1,000 welcome voucher. There is also 10% off BookMyShow (up to ₹300 a month, once a month) and a 1% fuel surcharge waiver up to ₹150 a month. The base earn is a thin 1 reward point per ₹100 (points worth about ₹0.25), so the value lives almost entirely in the three cashback partners and the milestone vouchers.

The concern Value is concentrated in three merchants with a ₹900/month cap; the base 1 RP/₹100 is weak and the ₹100 monthly fee only waives if you spent ₹5,000 the previous month.

The bottom line

The RBL Bank Cookies Credit Card works well for online shoppers who frequently order from Zomato, Myntra, and Uber, as up to ₹900 in monthly cashback combined with milestone vouchers and the initial ₹1,000 welcome gift easily outvalues the ₹1,200 annual fee. However, if these specific partner merchants are outside your regular spending habits or if you cannot consistently maintain ₹5,000 in monthly purchases to waive the fee, the minimal 1-point baseline earn makes it difficult to justify.

▼ Fee Observed Jan 2026 · Effective 7 Jan 2026

New 1% fee on large FASTag top-ups and toll payments

No FASTag or toll transaction fee → 1% fee on any FASTag-loading or toll-payment transaction above ₹10,000

From 7 January 2026 RBL Bank charges a 1% fee on any single FASTag-loading or toll-payment transaction above ₹10,000, measured per transaction per card, across merchant category codes 4784, 4111 and 4131. Because the threshold is per transaction rather than a monthly aggregate, it bites on one-off large FASTag top-ups rather than on regular commuting; splitting a top-up below ₹10,000 avoids it. The fee sits alongside RBL's existing 1% charges on rent, on utility spends above ₹50,000 a month, on fuel transactions above ₹10,000, and on education payments routed through third-party apps. It is a fee on the transaction, not a change to reward earning — these categories already earn no reward points on most RBL cards.

▼ Fee Effective 15 Oct 2024

New 1% fees on large fuel, utility & education spends

No category surcharge on fuel/utility/education → 1% on large fuel/utility & third-party education payments

From 15 Oct 2024 RBL added a 1% fee on any single fuel transaction over ₹10,000 (capped ₹3,000/txn), 1% on utility spends above ₹50,000 per month, and 1% on third-party-app education payments (Cred, PhonePe, Paytm, MobiKwik, NoBroker and similar). This reward-agnostic fee change applies to Cookies like the rest of the RBL line-up; the standard fuel-surcharge waiver on ₹500–4,000 fuel spends continues.

▼ Reward Effective 15 Oct 2024

Reward points excluded on several spend categories

Base points earned across most categories → Zero points on cash, bills, education, government & similar

Effective 15 Oct 2024 RBL stopped awarding base reward points on Education, Government Services, Contracted Services, Cash and Bills2Pay, and halted bonus/milestone accrual on Fuel & Auto, Utilities, Insurance, Quasi-Cash and Railways across its reward-point cards. On Cookies the impact is limited to its thin 1 RP/₹100 base earn on those categories — the card's core 10% Zomato/Myntra/Uber cashback is unaffected as it is direct cashback, not reward points.

◆ Launch Effective 2023

RBL Cookies launched as successor to Monthly Treats

Headline benefits: 10% cashback at Zomato, Myntra and Uber (capped ₹900/month, ₹300 per brand), 5X reward points on online spends, 1 RP/₹100 base, a ₹1,000 welcome voucher and ₹1,000/₹5,000 milestone vouchers. Exact launch date is undocumented — reconstructed to 2023 from card-review coverage; RBL published no dated launch notice.
