Tata Capital, SBI Card launch ‘Tata Star Card’ in collaboration with Star Bazaar

Designed for the growing segment of customers who frequently purchase grocery/departmental category items from organized retail stores, the Tata Star Card offers an unmatched value proposition in this segment.

Shopping with this card will bring customers 3.5% value back at all Star Bazaar outlets plus the advantage of earning an additional up to Rs. 500 bonus, through Star’s loyalty program, every month.

This is an exclusive program which gives the customers of Star Bazaar, a cashless and hassle-free shopping experience along with the benefits of Star’s popular loyalty program, Clubcard.

The Tata Star Card has been launched in two variants, Platinum and Titanium, which offer a superior savings proposition to the loyal customers of Star. In addition to savings on everyday shopping, the card also offers accelerated rewards on Dining and International spends.

At present, Star Bazaar maintains a robust customer base with majority of its sales coming from its Clubcard members. Now, the retailer has further boosted the privileges of its loyalty program with the objective of making it one of the most rewarding schemes in the market. This initiative by the retail chain is based on incentivizing customers for their monthly shopping. Clubcard will reward customers for shopping throughout the month (across multiple bills) with higher reward points. On shopping of Rs. 2,000 - Rs. 10,000 in a month, customers will be awarded Rs.50 – Rs.500 in the subsequent month.
