The RBL Bank Play Credit Card is a solid option for frequent moviegoers who don’t already hold a premium card offering free movie tickets. By using the card smartly — for example, purchasing Amazon Pay gift cards or making UPI payments — you can easily meet the monthly ₹5,000 spend requirement to unlock free tickets.

Amazon Pay gift cards can be used for a wide range of expenses such as utility bills, FASTag recharge, mobile/DTH payments, insurance premiums, and even gold purchases. This effectively gives you a 12% valueback on everyday spends like bills and recharges when routed through Amazon Pay gift cards — making the card far more rewarding than it appears at first glance.
