The rewards on the Yes Bank Ace credit card are not great. In an era where LTF cashback credit cards offer a minimum of 1% cashback, this is too less. You can also subscribe to the Rewards Subscription plan to get 3X/5X rewards.
Yes Bank Ace Credit Card: 3X/5X Rewards Subscription Plan
Yes Bank has launched a rewards subscription plan to get 3X/5X reward points on your spends with the Yes Bank Ace credit card. For both the plans, additional reward points per statement cycle are capped at 75,000.
Subscription Plan 1: 3X Reward Points on all spends
The subscription fee for this plan is Rs 1000+GST for 1 year. Once activated, we earn 3X reward points on all our spends. The new reward rates will be as below:
Online Shopping | Offline Shopping | Select Categories |
---|---|---|
16 RP/Rs 200 ~2% | 12 RP/Rs 200 ~1.5% | 6 RP/Rs 200 ~0.75% |
Subscription Plan 2: 5X Reward Points on select spends
The subscription fee for this plan is Rs 2000+GST for 1 year. Once activated, we earn 5X reward points on spends in Dining, Travel, Fashion and Healthcare categories. With this, the new reward rate for these spends would be 3% for online and 2.5% for offline spends in these categories. If any spends fall under the select categories MCC, then we will get 1.25%.
Rewards Redemption
We have many options for reward redemption. The best value is against flight redemption and gift vouchers.
Redemption | Value |
---|---|
Flights and Hotels | 25 paise/RP |
Gift Vouchers | 10 paise/RP |
Air Miles (Club Vistara/InterMiles) | 10 RP = 1 Mile |
Rewards Catalog | Varies |
Complimentary Airport Lounge Access

Dining Fiesta Program
Yes Bank has its own dining program where it offers a minimum 15% discount for dining at 1000+ eligible restaurants. We have all the Tier 1 cities and few Tier 2 cities too. Check out the Dining Fiesta micro-site to see all available restaurants. This is a pretty good benefit on this card and can be useful in the absence of other dining offers.
Other Key Benefits & Charges
- Fuel Surcharge Waiver: 1% fuel surcharge waiver for transactions between Rs 400 and Rs 5000. The maximum fee waiver is capped at Rs 100 per statement cycle.
- Foreign Currency Markup: 2.75%+GST ~3.2%
- Rent Payment Charges: 1% of transaction value or Rs 199 whichever is higher
- Wallet Load Charges: 1% of transaction value
- Utility Payment Charges: 1% applicable on all spends if spends exceed Rs 15,000 in a month
Final Thoughts
Yes Bank Ace credit card is not a great option if you are looking for an entry-level credit card for everyday spends. We are better off using other cards like Amazon Pay ICICI Bank credit card or Axis Bank Ace credit card to get a better return on our spends.

“1% fuel surcharge waiver for transactions between Rs 400 and Rs 5000” that means if I spend more than 5k, then have to pay 1% ?
Ex : let’s say I’ve spend 7k on fuel, for 5k 1% get waived off but for remaining 2k have to pay that 1% i.e., 40rs? Did I understood correctly please reply
Thanks
No, the fuel surcharge waiver will not be applicable in this case.
