RuPay International debit/credit card users can earn 40 per cent cashback for international POS transactions in the UAE, Singapore, Sri Lanka, the UK, the US, Spain, Switzerland and Thailand. 

With this campaign, Indians travelling abroad can earn up to Rs 16,000 cashback per month just by getting their RuPay International Card activated, the NPCI said.

Customers will have to do a minimum transaction of ₹1,000 to be eligible for the cashback. The maximum cashback is capped at ₹4,000 for a single transaction. The offer is available for customers using the card four times a month.

“We are pleased to launch the global offers under our ‘RuPay Travel Tales’ campaign where we can help RuPay International Card holders with a delightful international travel and shopping experience. It is also great to witness RuPay strengthening its foothold in international markets through networks like JCB, Discover and Diners Club International. The campaign is not only providing an exciting platform for travelers to earn cashbacks but also motivating them to migrate towards digital transactions nationally and globally," Praveena Rai, COO, NPCI said.

The RuPay Travel Tales campaign is a series of travelogues in a storytelling format to encourage travel enthusiasts to opt for digital payment methods for all travel needs.

Along with cashback offers, these cards users get an opportunity to save more on their international travel plans for both New Year and summer holidays.
