A capable premium rewards card with a 3.75% accelerated rate across five popular categories and a 20,000-point milestone, helped by a lower 2% forex markup. The 5,000-point monthly bonus cap and broad exclusions on groceries and bills mean it rewards focused online/dining spenders most.

The Bottom Line

The Bank of Baroda ETERNA is built for online and dining spender and high-income spender. With a ₹2,499 annual fee that is waived on ₹2,50,000 yearly spend, it offers 3.75% rewards on online shopping and 10,000 bonus points.

What we like
+Strong accelerated 5x earn of 15 Reward Points per Rs.100 across online shopping, dining, travel, international and entertainment (combined cap 5,000 points/month).
+Reward Points valued at 0.25 each, so the base 3 points per Rs.100 returns ~0.75% and the 5x rate about 3.75%.
+Annual milestone of 20,000 bonus points (worth Rs.5,000) on Rs.5,00,000 spend, plus full fee waiver at Rs.2,50,000.
+Lower 2% foreign currency markup than most peers, plus Rs.1 crore air accident cover and movie buy-one-get-one offers.
What we don't
–Joining and annual fee of Rs.2,499 each, with a higher Rs.12 lakh minimum income requirement.
–The lucrative 5x bonus is capped at 5,000 points (Rs.33,333 spend) per month across all bonus categories combined.
–Long exclusion list earns nothing on supermarkets/groceries, telecom, utilities, insurance, rent, education, government and hospital spends.
–Lounge access is limited; the listed domestic/international counts show no complimentary primary-card visits, with benefit tied to add-on cards.
