Which Credit Card is best for Offline swiping in general merchants stores/hotels/restaurants?
I need to travel a lot as a part of job and purchase materials with my own wallet, eat food at restaurants, stay and pay at hotels.
If any Airport lounge access is also there it would be cherry on the top!!!
This would help me recover some random spends which I can’t claim.

SBI simplysave card gives 2.5% worth reward points for all offline Dining, Movies, Departmental Stores and Grocery Spends. You can redeem the points for vouchers but check first whether these vouchers are something you can use.

1.underwhat categories online store like grofers/bigbasket/jiomart are counted ?
2.are they counted for grocery payment if done through simplysave online and thereby giving 10X rewards?
3.can simplysave rewards points be utilised towards statement credit?
@guest_999 @demerius2020 Dont know if its temporary or what , but, i got 10x for a recent transaction on big basket with simply save
must be due to groceries category.

@_One_Miller_ SBI card site is not clear enough about this, does both online & offline counts for grocery & departmental stores. If yes then what about using cards at local stores/small shops for groceries & other general use items.
Online not confirmed

2) Online Medicine Sites (1mg/Netmeds/PharmEasy/Apollo 24×7) gets 10x rewards in ‘department stores’ category ?
3) Malls (BigBazar/Reliance Fresh/More/Spencers) gets 10x rewards in ‘grocery’ category ?
4) Swiggy/Zomato/Dineout/Dominos eligible for 10x reward points in ‘dining’ category ?

Any other spends, not mentioned above, which give 10x accelerated reward points based on your experience for Simply Save card ?
We all will be benefited with your insights. Thanks again!
If its still relevant, tata titanium card gives 3%. I got one from croma store. Even though it is a co-branded card not much benefits at croma but 3% on groceries and departmental stores. Annual n joining fees 500 and waiver on 1lac spend
For restaurants the best card is kotak delight platinum card it gives u 10 percent cashback for any restaurant upto 600 per month , only disadvantage is u have to pay joining fees of 2000 and annual fees of 350
