PNB RuPay Select Credit Card vs YES BANK SELECT Credit Card

Prepared 14 Sep 2026 · Source page: https://littleden.blog/compare/pnb-rupay-select-credit-card-vs-yes-bank-select-credit-card/

General product research only. Recheck the listed first-party sources before acting because product terms can change after the recorded review dates.

Decision checkpoints

Answer the questions that can actually change the choice.

Each checkpoint reproduces the recorded product fields instead of assigning a winner. Read the condition, scope and missing-data state before treating a difference as useful to you.

01Would the card still fit if you miss its fee waiver?Read the recurring fee and qualifying-spend rule together before counting rewards as value.

PNB RuPay Select Credit Card

Annual fee
₹750 + applicable taxes
Fee waiver
Annual fee waived when the card was used at least once in each quarter of the preceding year

YES BANK SELECT Credit Card

Annual fee
₹599 + applicable GST
Fee waiver
Spend ₹10,000 within 30 days to waive first-year membership fee; spend ₹1 lakh in the anniversary year to waive the next renewal fee
02Do your actual purchases qualify for the rewards?Check the reward structure and the recorded cautions; a headline earning rate is not the return on every purchase.

PNB RuPay Select Credit Card

Reward rules
2 PNB Reward Points per ₹150 on eligible spend, plus 300 Reward Points on the first qualifying retail/online transaction within 90 days

Recorded cautions

  • A single use in each quarter is the published annual-fee waiver test; missing a quarter can change the economics.
  • Reward-point cash value should be taken from PNB’s latest notice, not older rewards-page copy.
  • Lifestyle and lounge partner benefits can change independently of the base card.

YES BANK SELECT Credit Card

Reward rules
8 YES Rewardz Points per ₹200 on eligible online shopping, 4 per ₹200 on eligible offline shopping and 2 per ₹200 on select categories in the reviewed value chart; accelerated online earn is capped at 5,000 points per statement cycle

Recorded cautions

  • Domestic lounge access is subject to current qualifying-spend rules.
  • Reward acceleration is capped.
  • Travel value is modest compared with higher YES BANK tiers.
03Which travel and approval conditions apply to you?Check lounge conditions, foreign-currency costs and issuer eligibility independently of reward value.
