Titan SBI Card
The Titan SBI Card is a lifestyle co-brand built around the Titan group, with a ₹2,999 fee reversed at ₹3 lakh of annual spend. Its headline value is quarterly-capped brand cashback — 7.5% at World of Titan, Taneira, Titan Eye+, Helios, Fastrack, Skinn, Irth and Sonata (₹10,000 a quarter), 5% at Mia, CaratLane and Zoya (₹10,000 a quarter), and 3% vouchers at Tanishq (₹25,000 a quarter). Away from Titan it earns a flat 6 Reward Points per ₹100 (~1.5%), capped at 6,000 points a month, with fuel, wallet loads, rent, utilities and government spends earning nothing. A 12,000-point welcome benefit worth ₹3,000, milestone Titan vouchers at ₹5 lakh and ₹10 lakh, and 8 domestic plus 4 international lounge visits via Priority Pass round it out. Reward Points expire 24 months after they are earned.

The bottom line
This specialized lifestyle card provides exceptional returns for regular shoppers across Titan Company brands, especially when timing major watch or jewellery purchases, and backs it up with a generous airport lounge allowance. However, for non-Titan retail spending, it operates as a standard ~1.5% rewards card with several major excluded categories; hence, its value depends directly on your Titan brand loyalty rather than general retail utility.
