[00:00:00]Hi everyone, welcome back to Card Academy.

[00:00:02]In this video, we're going to talk about the best credit cards for entertainment. Now entertainment is a very big category in itself.

[00:00:07]So here also we will talk about its different sub categories. Like best credit cards for movie tickets, concerts, shows, golf access, lounge access, dining offers, OTT subscriptions and many more premium lifestyle benefits. We will discuss one or two best credit cards in each category so that you can choose the right card according to your needs and lifestyle.

[00:00:30]Also, we are not going to discuss any card in detail.

[00:00:33]Also, if you want a detailed review of any particular credit card, please let us know in the comments. Let's begin.

[00:00:42]Let's discuss the best movie credit cards. The first card on our list here is the Bank of BDA Etter Credit Card. Earlier this card used to be paid, but now for quite some time the bank is offering it lifetime free for all of you. And in the lifetime free category, this is a very good entertainment credit card. The first benefit is that through the Movie Offer District app, you get buy one get one movie ticket with up to ₹20 off. The second benefit is lounge access. For that you just have to maintain a spend of ₹400 in the previous month. The third benefit that I personally find very valuable is gym access. Through this card you get one year Fitpass membership.

[00:01:21]Whose value ranges from around Rs 10,000 to Rs 15,000. With this you can access multiple gyms in India. So overall, it becomes a very good all-rounder credit card for movie lovers, lunch users and gym goers.

[00:01:35]Apart from entertainment benefits, you also get a reward rate of around 3.75% on online shopping, travel, dining and international spends.

[00:01:43]Now that we are talking about movie benefits, I am going to tell you about a card which is a very interesting option.

[00:01:52]This card is great if you don't need a premium credit card. SBM Novo Credit Card. I am suggesting this card because you can get it by depositing an FD of just ₹2000.

[00:02:00]And on this card you get Buy One Get One movie ticket offer every month up to ₹0 off on Bookmyshow. Meaning, if you watch movies regularly, then ₹3000 plus value per year can be easily recovered just from movie benefits.

[00:02:15]Apart from this, some additional offers are also available on Amazon ZPTO SWGI app. I will not talk about them in detail but for movie lovers only, this card becomes a great value for money.

[00:02:28]Buy one get one offer. The best part is if you never want the card. Ok? So you can withdraw your FD amount by closing the card.

[00:02:34]So, the next category is gym goers. Now many people will say how did gym come into the entertainment category? But honestly, many people genuinely enjoy the gym.

[00:02:45]I will again recommend Bank of Barore Credit Card to all of you for gym benefits also.

[00:02:49]I have already mentioned this to you earlier that in this you get Fitpass membership.

[00:02:53]Through the Fitpass app you can access 2000+ gyms across India. That too five times a week for one full year. The second card that is particularly interesting for its gym value is the SBI PS Credit Card. The joining fee for this card is ₹1500 and the overall card benefits are very basic.

[00:03:13]But if you're looking for a card specifically for gym access, this could make a lot of sense. Let me tell you how.

[00:03:20]Through this card you get 12 gym sessions every month.

[00:03:24]And if we look at the average gym membership, in Delhi or major cities it easily costs ₹ 1000 to ₹2000 per month. In fact, it goes beyond that. So see, if you use it smartly, even if you manage one card in your name and one in the name of a family member, then you can get gym access for a whole year for around ₹3000.

[00:03:41]That's four times a week. The third best option for gym goers is Rupee Select Variant Cards. Ok? Not a specific credit card but a card that falls under the RuPay Select category. So you get 1 month of Cult Gym membership every 3 months.

[00:03:59]Basically, Sect is a premium debit card variant offered by different banks. There are many cards in this category.

[00:04:06]You can see the list on the screen.

[00:04:08]Apart from gym benefits, it also provides many lifestyle benefits.

[00:04:11]You get lifestyle perks.

[00:04:13]Such as spa benefits, health checkups, cab vouchers, golf lessons and OTT subscriptions. So overall, if you want a card that offers multiple entertainment and lifestyle benefits along with gym benefits, then the Rupee Select variant is definitely worth considering. The next category is best credit cards for lounge access.

[00:04:31]I know everyone must be waiting for this category.

[00:04:33]Because getting free lounge access on a particular credit card is a flex in today's time.

[00:04:37]Because you all know that in today's time lounge access is becoming a premium benefit.

[00:04:42]Even good credit cards with a fee of ₹5,000 are now making lounge access a spend basis.

[00:04:47]Where you have to spend 40, 50 or even 70 ₹75000 to unlock this benefit.

[00:04:53]So right now there are some credit cards that genuinely offer good lounge benefits. The first card is Indus Tiger Credit Card. This is a lifetime free credit card and you get eight domestic and two international lounge visits every year. The second card is HSBC Life Plus Credit Card. This card gives you four domestic lounge visits. That too without any spend condition. The joining fee for this card is ₹999 plus taxes. And the overall features are also quite good. 10% cashback on dining, grocery and food delivery spends.

[00:05:24]Like offline grocery purchases or swig, zpptto online orders, you will get 10% off everywhere.

[00:05:30]Also, buy two get two movie ticket offer is also available. But this card has no attraction lounge access and only 10% cashback.

[00:05:38]So you can apply this also.

[00:05:40]By the way, I always mention the credit card application link in the description.

[00:05:43]You can apply and also support the channel. The next category is best credit cards for OTT subscriptions.

[00:05:49]For this also, the credit cards of Rupee Select variant provide you very good value. Be it Rupee Select debit card or credit card, you get one year OTT subscription on these. For example, you can claim yearly membership of any one of these three platforms like Amazon Prime, Sony LIV or Zee5 and you get this benefit again next year.

[00:06:13]Another smart way to get Apart From This OTT subscription is through gifter portals. You get very good discounts here.

[00:06:19]Savings of around 10% on Amazon, 16% on Zee, 7% on Jio Star, 18% on PVR, 35% on Sony LIV and around 23% on Zee5 and these savings are over and above your normal credit card rewards. So, the overall value becomes quite good. Along with this, Visa offer also keeps running every year where you get free membership of Time Spring.

[00:06:44]So there too you get many amazing benefits.

[00:06:48]Even in the entertainment category, every category of travel health is covered. The next category is Best Credit Cards for Golf Access. The first card in this category which is quite popular is HDFC SWGI Credit Card.

[00:07:00]Earlier, you used to get this card with a fee of ₹500 and it offered 12 free golf lessons, four complimentary golfs and 50% off on golf services. But now this variant is not being issued for new users. The variant available now is the SWGI HDFC Black Credit Card. Its joining fee is ₹1000 plus taxes and it also offers the same golf benefits. 12 free golf lessons, four golf rounds and 50% off golf services. Apart from the golf benefits, this card is also good for daily use.

[00:07:31]You get 10% cashback on Swiggy spends like Instagram food delivery and dine out.

[00:07:34]Make sure your minimum spend is ₹249.

[00:07:37]Meaning the minimum transaction should be ₹249.

[00:07:39]Otherwise you will not get cashback. And you get 5% cashback on many online platforms like Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, Ajio, P Store.

[00:07:48]So overall, this is a very strong and handy lifestyle credit card that gives you good value on golf lessons as well as day-to-day spends.

[00:07:54]Apart from this, the Indecent Tiger credit card also gives you four complimentary golf games or lessons every year.

[00:08:02]And because it is a lift free credit card. So, it offers quite good value in this category.

[00:08:10]Offers very good benefits.

[00:08:11]Apart from this, you can also consider Axis Bank Sect Credit Cards for Gulf benefits. The next category is Dine Out.

[00:08:19]I personally like the two credit cards for the dining category. The first one is obviously the Swiggy HDFC credit card. Through this card you get straight 10% cashback. If you reserve restaurants through Swiggy Dine Out, you already get a discount of up to 40 to 50% at many restaurants.

[00:08:34]So on top of that you also get an additional 10% cashback through this credit card.

[00:08:39]Overall, there are some good savings on D out Spence. The second card is the HSVC L Plus credit card. Even if a restaurant is not available on Swigg Dine Out, you can still get up to 10% cashback by making offline payments.

[00:08:50]So, both these cards are strong options for honest dine-out spends. Apart from this, Easy Diner Indusind Bank Credit Card is a very good option. Especially for those who dine out regularly. The joining and renewal fee of this card is ₹2,999 plus taxes. But with this joining fee, you get many amazing benefits on this card. In fact, Easy Diner Points worth ₹2000, complimentary Easy Diner membership worth ₹3000 plus a post card hotel stay voucher worth ₹7500 means overall your joining is easily recovered for free. The most important part is dining benefits. You get a flat 25% discount on payments made through EasyDunner capped at ₹2000 per month and there is no minimum spend condition. Meaning simply you can get 25% discount on Rs 1000 twice a month. That means ₹250 instant off on dining worth ₹1000.

[00:09:43]Apart from this, no special benefits are available on all other spends on this card.

[00:09:47]So for Dynin, it's perfect. Because overall this card is not made for purely dining focused users. Isn't it? The other categories are not as rewarding.

[00:09:56]So these are some of the best credit cards for entertainment and lifestyle category. We have discussed almost all the categories. If we have missed something, please let us know in the comments.
