Expert Verdict

The RBL World Safari is a travel card whose headline 0% forex markup and solid travel insurance and lounge package make it genuinely useful abroad, with stacking milestones up to a Rs. 10,000 voucher at Rs. 7.5 lakh spend. The catch is that international spends earn no points, and the 0.25-per-point value plus no fee waiver temper its everyday returns.

The Bottom Line

The RBL World Safari is built for international traveller and high-spend domestic user. With a ₹3,000 annual fee, it offers 1.25% rewards on travel and a welcome benefit worth ₹3,000. It makes the most sense if your spending matches international traveller and high-spend domestic user.

It earns a base reward rate of 0.5% and stacks best when your spending lines up with International traveller, High-spend domestic user.

What we like
+Zero forex markup on all international/foreign-currency transactions, a standout for travellers versus the typical 3.5%-4%.
+Comprehensive travel insurance bundle: international travel medical, loss of passport, baggage loss and trip delay cover.
+Stacking milestones: 10,000 bonus points at Rs. 2.5 lakh, 15,000 at Rs. 5 lakh, plus an Rs. 10,000 voucher at Rs. 7.5 lakh annual spend.
+8 domestic and 2 international Priority Pass lounge visits a year, plus golf rounds and 24/7 concierge.
What we don't
Despite 0% forex markup, international transactions do not accrue any reward points.
Low base point value of Re. 0.25, so the 2.5X travel rate (5 points per Rs. 100) is worth only about 1.25% back.
No annual fee waiver path, so the Rs. 3,000 fee is a recurring cost.
Fuel earns no points and the fuel surcharge waiver is capped at Rs. 250 per month.
