RBL Movies and More Credit Card Review (Earlier: Fun+ Credit Card)

By | January 31, 2017

RBL is turning out to be a surprising aggressive player in credit cards. Fun+ is a mid range card which is a good option if you don’t spend much and like going to movies. It looks attractive with the holographic deep red background and comes with NFC for quicker payments at POS. Availability of NFC enabled POS though is another story.

RBL Movies and More Credit Card (A.K.A Fun+ Credit Card)

RBL also has unexpectedly effective customer care both on call and email. The application process too went without any hitch. These are lately a rarity even with banks like HSBC and Standard Chartered.

RBL Movies and More Credit Card Application process:

  • I had initially come across RBL Fun+ card (earlier it was so called) at a KFC outlet and seemed to have an impressive offering. I had applied on the basis of another credit card (card-to-card) which qualified my application for faster and easier green channel.
  • Started with a decent Rs.95,000 credit limit on setup which they increased by 10K after some time,which is quite fine since I barely use it and all high ticket purchases are routed to other cards

They revised their product offering recently in Nov-2016 and don’t seem to be actively sourcing this card any more. I am writing this to reflect those changes too. Its now re-branded as “Movies and More Credit Card” instead of “Fun+ Credit Card”

Movie redemption is simple. You get an SMS if you’re eligible along with the expiry date. When booking on BookMyShow website, select RBL Monthly Rewards from ‘Avail Offers’, just key in your credit card details and the amount is deducted instantly.

It served as one of the best credit cards in 2016 with its KFC/Pizza Hut benefits apart from Movie offers, though now its just yet another card with BMS offer as KFC benefit has been revoked.

Highlights:

  • One free movie ticket worth र 250 at BookMyShow on spends of र 10,000 ( 2.5% Value )
  • One additional free movie ticket worth र 250 at BookMyShow on spends of र 15,000 ( 3.33% Value )

Sign up benefits:

  • ₹1000 BookMyShow voucher

Regular benefits:

  • 10RP/₹100 for KFC, Pizza Hut & BookMyShow (2.3% value)
  • 1RP/₹100 on all other spendings except fuel (0.2% value)
  • Fuel surcharge waiver for ₹400-₹5000 up to ₹100 each month

Milestone benefits:

  • 5,000 bonus reward points on crossing 2 lakhs
  • 10,000 bonus reward points on crossing 3.5 lakhs

Fees:

  • ₹499 annually. Like SBI, most cards from RBL carry an annual fees but I personally find it easily well compensated if you use the BookMyShow vouchers
  • Renewal can be waived on spending 1.5L in previous billing year. Even if you don’t qualify for waiver, like I am not this year, do call them up and ask for it. Waiver is just a call away!

My card strategy for RBL Fun+:

  • This my card of choice for all weekend dining being 3X more powerful than Regalia First’s accelerated RPs for dining, which I switch to on weekdays
  • I also use this for all small purchases unless I am receiving accelerated rewards or discount on any other card for about ₹5-6K per month after which I switch to my Regalia First till next billing cycle

If you like watching movies, this a great card to have in your wallet, especially with the new accelerated RPs for weekend dining. For a primary card though, you’d probably want something better. Do you know? with RBL Platinum Delight Credit Card, you can save as much as 5% on your total spend. Though, its only for beginners.

    On the website, it says you will get only Rs. 250 worth of ticket once you spend 10,000 and another Rs. 250 voucher once you spend 15,000. Looks like they have changed the most important feature of this card.

    Any other cards which are good for getting BookMyShow vouchers?

    Thanks,
    Shahil

      Yes, they changed it in recent times. I’ve updated the post as well 🙂
      SBI elite card has good Bookmyshow offers, but their renewal fee is not something i’m happy with.

    I would not agree with the customer support point. I have been using this card from when they have launched it(~Oct 2015). I find everything good with the card unless you need any support. They have the worst support comparing with others. Also I would not agree on the point that the fee reversal is just a call away. They are very strict on it.

    1.Which credit card you used to get this on card on card basis?
    2. How much limit you had with your old card ?
    3. How old my card should be to apply RBL credit card ?
    4. Is it necessary to have a saving or current account with RBL to get a credit card ?

      Hey Bishuddha,

      Happy to help you here 🙂

      1. I used HDFC AllMiles.
      2. At that point of time I think it had about 1.5L limit.
      3. 6 months at least.
      4. Not really. I don’t have one even now. But having one certainly increases the chances of card approval.

        Hi All, ,
        Hi All,

        My Canara Bank Classic Credit card has 50,000 rupees limit.
        Kindly advise on the following
        1. Which Bank’s are are offering new cards against existing Credit card ?
        2. Does holding a credit card issued from a nationalized bank gives -ve impression to MNC banks ?
        3. What should be the best strategy to apply against c2c ?
        4. Can you also kindly highlight pros & cons of applying against c2c ?
        5. Do banks still check CIBIL if applied card against card ?

        Suggestion:
        @ Siddharth: In the interest of new/prospective card customer, is it possible for you to open a new thread that talks about new cards being offered aggressively by the banks .

    I got the Fun+ card in Oct 2016 on Card on Card against my HDFC Regalia card.
    Got the movie vouchers of 1000 Rs as welcome benefit.
    Till Nov 2016, they were offering Rs 500 Bookmyshow voucher and Rs 300 KFC/ Pizza hut voucher on the monthly shopping of Rs 5000.

    Now they have stopped KFC / Pizza hut vouchers. However I still get Rs500 voucher on monthly shopping of Rs 5000 or more.

    Best part is … there is no limit on the number of tickets which can be bought with Rs 500 voucher. if your ticket cost is Rs 120, you can buy 4 tickets also ( Internet handling charges, needs to be paid separately).

      That’s an useful info on voucher usage. Thanks for sharing Vinnet 🙂

      1. Vineet

        Siddharth, Unfortunately they have removed this feature of voucher usage when they converted from Fun+ to Movies and More.

        With Movies and more they are offering only one ticket worth Rs 250 on shopping of 10000 ( not the voucher of 250).

        However existing Fun+ card members will continue getting Rs 500 voucher on 5000 shopping.

      I can describe my experience here which you might find helpful.

      Had walked in to a branch and filled a physical form. Usually there’ll be one person specially assigned to credit cards. You’ll need to submit a copy of front of your existing card which is more than 6 months old (not back as it has the CVV).

      Few signatures on photocopies later, you’re ready to go. Remember to retain the acknowledgement slip signed and preferably stamped by them in case something goes wrong. All the best.

    I own HDFC Regalia and SBI Elite Credit card, RBL denied to give me FUN+ Card Against either of my cards.
    They were ready to give me Blockbuster card whose annula fee is 3000/- . Whats your suggestion?

    Reply
    1. Prashant Agrawal

      That’s probably because new card issuance stopped quite back sometime back for RBL Fun+ which has movie tickets on just ₹5K spend and ₹499 annual fees. You can now choose between Blockbuster (movie tickets on 20K spend) or Movies & More (movie tickets on 15K spend).

    Does this card has time slots to book tickets like icici coral credit card?

    Reply
    1. Prashant Agrawal

      Like Hardik said, no it doesn’t have redemption quotas or time slots. It’s more like a voucher which can be used for discount for any number of tickets at any time.

    Do they offer lounge access through the mastercard program?

    Reply
    1. Prashant Agrawal

      No, unfortunately not, even though it’s a Mastercard Platinum. If you’re looking for lounge access, HDFC Platinum Debit or any of the Platinum Rupay cards are easy options with sufficiently large lounge network.
