Air India and SBI Card to launch Visa co-brand credit card, Oct 2026

Air India and SBI Card announced a new co-brand credit card program on 28 October 2026. The card runs on Visa and is for members of Air India's Maharaja Club loyalty programme. The press release says it will launch soon and gives no date.

The release gives no annual fee, earn rate, welcome benefit, lounge access, variants or points transfer rule. Air India says the card is meant to reward everyday spends as well as travel and lifestyle spends. Until the bank publishes terms, nobody can compare it with another card.

This is not the first Air India card from SBI Card. Our catalogue lists the Air India SBI Signature and Air India SBI Platinum as closed to new applicants since 10 October 2024. The release does not say what happens to those two cards or to their holders.

Air India says Maharaja Club has added over five million members since the programme was redesigned in 2024. Members earn and redeem Maharaja Points on Air India and Air India Express flights to and from 104 destinations and on 25 other Star Alliance airlines. The programme has over 100 other partner brands.

We will add the card to the catalogue when SBI Card publishes its terms. Until then, see SBI Card credit cards and other travel credit cards.
