About Standard Chartered Ultimate Credit Card

Standard Chartered Ultimate is a premium credit card that provides a 3.33% value-back across multiple spending categories, making it comparable to top-tier cards like HDFC Diners Club Black and HDFC Infinia. The card offers strong travel benefits, including 5% cashback on duty-free purchases and a low foreign exchange markup of 2%. Golf enthusiasts can enjoy up to 12 complimentary rounds annually at premier golf courses in India.

While lounge access is limited to 12 free visits per year and is spend-based, the card’s core rewards program is robust. It covers a wide range of spends, including utilities, insurance, and education—categories often excluded by other premium cards. Lifestyle benefits such as dining and entertainment are present but limited.
