Air India offering 20% – 50% bonus on points conversion from SBI co-branded credit cards

While Air India has reworked the Flying Returns programme into Maharaja Club, it currently has only one co-brand credit card partner, SBI Card Credit Cards. The rest of them are Vistara co-branded credit cards, holding out for the time being. The AI SBI Cards work slightly differently from other co-brand cards because points are accumulated with SBI Cards rather than swept into your MC account each month. You must call SBI Cards to transfer your points to the Air India Maharaja Club, or you can now do so in the app as well.
