4 base update periods - 03.00, 08.15, 16.15 and 20.00.

While the initial outline of information on the map. Gradually I will add important points. If anyone has any suggestions I'd be happy to add them.

The two main advantages that immediately “strike out” are the return of a part of the funds spent on purchases (“Cashback”), and the accrual of interest on the balance of own funds (up to 6% per annum). In other words, you can use the card as a deposit, and use the “Cashback”, returning part of the money back to debit plastic. Interest on the balance is accrued if the amount of at least 10 thousand rubles is permanently stored on your card. Participation in the “Benefit” bonus program is characterized by a return percentage in% of the purchase amount in the form of bonuses. The accumulated bonuses can be withdrawn in the form of cash, or they can be used to pay for any goods (or services).

At ATMs and cash desks of third-party banks (from 6 withdrawals per period)	100 ₽

Advantages and disadvantages Cosmos cards

Advantages of the Cosmos card:

• The ability to return part of the money from purchases with a card. I advise you to “catch” the maximum accruals of bonuses on the days of the promotions. All information about the timing of the promotions can be viewed on the official website of the program;
• Accrual of interest (up to 6% per annum) on the balance of own funds. In our opinion, this is the main advantage of this plastic. But, the percentage is sharply reduced, since most recently they offered 7.5% per annum;
• Excellent conditions for transactions related to cash receipts and transfers (see tariffs);
• Free release and maintenance (subject to conditions).

Cons of the Cosmos card:

• Very long process of crediting points to the card (up to 2 months);
• Low return on purchases. If you do not take into account promotional offers with large bonus accruals (which are not held very often), then 1-3% of the purchase amount is very small. For example, if we take it for comparison, then it has a return on purchases of up to 20% (by the way, there are a lot of partners there);
• Large monthly service fee - 99 rubles / month (that's 1188 rubles per year). True, the fee can be avoided if you make purchases with a card for 5 thousand rubles, or keep 10 thousand rubles on your account;
• Forced service "SMS-Info" - 59 rubles per month. Shutdown is available, but not many people know how to do it.

Reading this article:

The recently introduced debit Cosmos card from Home Credit Bank has a good chance of becoming one of the best deals on the market.

After all, this is not only a stylish design, but also interest on the balance, a bonus debit program launched for the first time, plus there is also the opportunity not to pay for service and withdraw cash from any ATM.

It's good to know the background of the map.

Until the advent of Cosmos, a debit piggy bank card was available in Home Credit "Good news" from 7-10% per annum. No bonuses were offered on the card, but it was necessary to pay 59 rubles / month if you did not maintain a balance of more than 10 thousand rubles.

In turn, this card has replaced the convenient and profitable “Good News” savings accounts.
Wiki: Good News Card from Home Credit.

Also a year earlier, it became possible to issue a credit card, which is now called on the site as “Card with benefits Platinum”. Review from 11/20/2015: Home Credit: “Successful purchases”.

The platinum “Lucky Purchases” card was free, but meaningless without a paid cashback option with a price of 2990 rubles per year. 2% cashback was credited for purchases, and 5% for selected outlets.

It was not so easy to get a card, even with a zero credit limit, you had to connect social engineering. And it was not clear whether it was a hack of the “hamster” system, or another feature of hobbists who know how to find the right paths.

However, recently the cost of the option was increased to 4990 rubles, and the cashback was reduced by half a point to 1.5%. They also reduced the maximum amount of cashback payouts, which called into question the appropriateness of using such cards.

Thus, only piggy bank cards with bonuses for purchases were missing. And now her time has come.

Update: From 10.03.2017 on the daily balance of own funds on the card from 10,000 to 500,000 rubles is charged 7.1% per annum, was 7.5%.

Tariffs on the Cosmos card

Card service is regulated by “tariffs and conditions”, where the latest pdf of all card tariffs and not only at the time of publication of the article is dated 12/22/2016 (section 4, p. 20) + (6.4 mb). A summary of the rates is provided on the debit card page.

Curiously, this is not the first card with Visa Platinum status. On the left is a photo of a previously issued “Premium” card with similar conditions, i.e. 7.5% per annum, the ability to withdraw up to 500 thousand rubles per day.

But the amount of 2,500 rubles was taken for issuing a card and up to 10 free withdrawals at ATMs / cash desks were provided. Plus, a free SMS-informing service and up to three free additional cards.

The Cosmos bonus program deserves special attention, let's take a closer look at it below.

Bonus program for "Cosmos"

A nice promo site for the Polza bonus program is here: homecredit.ru/polza. True, in terms of bonus interest, it is true only for credit cards.

1% for purchases and payments in IB and 3% for payment at outlets "Cafes and restaurants", "Gas stations", "Travel".
In the first case, the maximum cashback amount is 2000 rubles / month, in the second case 3000 rubles / month.

Unlike Gold and Platinum credit cards, Cosmos debit card has a bonus program “Benefit” is free, and not 990 or 4990 rubles.

Unlike other bonus programs, bonuses are given here even for paying for mobile communications, utilities and fines, incl. via internet banking! There are no explicit or implicit taxes.

Unlike other bonus programs in Home Credit bonus points are easily and quickly converted into real money and you don't have to wait a month or more. That's why they say that here, in fact, a cashback, disguised as bonus points for a number of reasons.

Usage example: made a purchase for 1000 rubles, a couple of days after the operation we go to view bonuses ...

and these 10 points are either withdrawn to a mobile phone (= 10 rubles) or we compensate for part of this purchase (10 rubles will fall on the card account).

Compare with banks, where they give 1% on regular purchases:

Rocketbank : to use the accumulated bonuses, you need to accumulate 3000 bonuses, which is equivalent to purchases worth 300 thousand rubles! Bonuses will turn into rubles only after making a purchase in the amount of 3,000 rubles and completing a compensation operation in the mobile application.

touch bank, like Rocket, it requires you to first accumulate bonuses, here we are talking about 1000 bonuses. It’s easy to save up in your favorite category with 3% cashback, but there won’t be any bonuses for a communal apartment.

Tinkoff Bank : here you can’t wait for bonuses for paying for mobile communications or communal services. Even for the purchase of an iPhone, you can not wait for bonuses. Moreover, TB clamps down on change, rounding bonuses down, but this is not the case in Home.
Cashback payment on the date of the billing period.

From 08.12.2016 to 08.01.2017 Home Credit launched Action "Miracles for the New Year". During the promotion period, [it was] necessary to make 3 purchases with a Visa card with “Benefit” from 500 rubles, and the bank promises to credit 500 points by the end of the month.

Of course, in order to participate in this promotion, you had to get a card before the end of 2016. Moreover, bank employees assured that in order to participate in the promotion, you need to wait until you receive a personal platinum visa instead of an instantly issued, temporary MasterCard “Key” card.

However, experiments have shown that bonuses are still given, it is possible that this is just a bank flaw.

Cashback counts by write-off date, if the account was debited on February 1, then it counts towards the February cashback amount:

The period for which the maximum number of points for accrual is calculated is 1 calendar month. Confirmed transactions are counted per month. Thus, it is the transaction confirmation date that determines its accounting in a particular month.

The bonus period is 1 year.

Why do you need a Cosmos map?

To answer this question, you must first tell that there are several Cosmos plastic cards.

It could be a standard debit card for everyday use by ordinary citizens. It is convenient for her to pay for purchases and services, especially from partners of a credit institution, because special points are awarded under the Benefit bonus program.

The card is also convenient to use for the purpose of accumulating funds. Every day, an interest rate of 3 to 7.5% per annum is accrued on the positive balance of the account. This indicator is comparable, and in some cases even exceeds the rates on bank deposits of most large banks. And if no one will let you use the money there, otherwise the interest will “burn out”, then on the Cosmos card it is enough to keep a minimum positive balance on the account to calculate interest.

Who can get a card?

The Cosmos debit card from Home Credit Bank is issued according to one document - a passport. Since the card is not a credit card, the bank does not set any special requirements for the owners of plastic.

Any citizen of the Russian Federation who has reached the age of majority can issue a Cosmos. A potential cardholder must have a Russian residence permit, but the region of residence does not matter at all. The client can be registered where there are no bank offices. This will not affect the issuance of the card in any way, as is the case with credit cards, for example.

The process of obtaining a Cosmos card from Home Credit Bank

If you want to become a happy owner of a Cosmos Home Credit Bank debit card, you will need to do just a few simple things. The first is to apply for the release of plastic.

This can be done via the Internet or by calling the bank's hotline. It is enough to introduce yourself, indicate your e-mail address, date of birth and a contact phone number for communication.

In a few minutes, a bank employee will call the phone to make sure that the client is serious about issuing plastic.

After a telephone conversation and confirmation of the conditions, the application for issuing a card will be instantly considered, and the client will be notified about it in an SMS message. There will also be indicated the approximate time for the manufacture of plastic (about 1-2 weeks).

When the card is ready and delivered to the selected branch, the client will be called and informed about it.

To receive a card, the client must personally come to the bank branch with a passport and pick up the finished plastic.

How to activate Space?

You can activate a Cosmos bank card from Home Credit Bank in several simple ways:

• Directly at the branch, after receiving the card in your hands, you need to ask the manager to activate the plastic in the system through a computer.
• Call the bank's contact center, having previously prepared a card and passport, connect with the operator and inform about your desire to receive a TPIN code. This is a kind of verification code that is assigned to the client to identify him when calling the hotline. To receive such a code, the operator must identify the customer on the phone by asking a few questions. After that, the client will be connected to an autoinformer, who will name the generated combination of numbers, which will become the TPIN code. It will need to be written down, so it is better to have a pen and notebook ready.

After receiving the code, you can call the bank's hotline again, log in to the system using the TPIN code and press the card activation button.

But that's not all. After activating the card, the client must call the bank's hotline within 72 hours to receive a PIN code for the card. If you do not do this within the specified time, the bank will send the PIN by registered mail.

How can I replenish the card and withdraw money profitably?

You can withdraw money from the card at any Home Credit Bank ATM in your locality. Withdrawals from your own ATMs will be free, but for cashing out from third-party devices, a fee of 100 rubles is charged, regardless of the amount.

Moreover, the commission is charged only starting from the 6th transaction per month. The first 5 withdrawals will be absolutely free, regardless of the amount.

And according to the Cosmos salary card from Home Credit Bank, withdrawals will generally be free at all ATMs, which is undoubtedly a huge plus.

To save money on withdrawals at other people's ATMs, the cardholder can send money from his plastic to an account opened with any other bank through his personal Internet banking account. The commission for this operation will be only 10 rubles, despite the amount.

Replenishment of the Cosmos Home Credit Bank card will be free only in its own devices and cash desks. If desired, the client can replenish the plastic in any other way:

1. Through Russian Post offices
2. Through an interbank transfer from another bank
3. Partners (Svyaznoy, MTS, Zolotaya Korona, etc.)
4. Via Internet Banking from your other Home Credit Bank account or from a third-party credit organization
5. Through card-to-card transfer services, etc.

There are really a lot of options, but almost all of them will be paid. Moreover, the commission will be charged by the sending bank, and not by Home Credit banks.

How to connect an Internet bank and why do the owners of Cosmos need it?

Thanks to Internet banking, the cardholder will always be able to have full access to the account, monitor the card balance, recent transactions, check their correctness, etc. In Internet banking, you can make dozens and hundreds of various payments, transfers, pay bills, utilities, mobile communications, etc. no commission.

Being in the personal account of the Internet bank, the client can submit a quick application for a new product of the bank, for example, apply for a loan or a credit card, open a deposit instantly, etc. To do this, he does not have to go to the office, which is very convenient and saves a lot of time.

You can set up auto payment in your Internet banking account. This will allow you to forget about monthly reminders to pay utility bills, the Internet or a mobile phone. If the client sets up auto payment, then monthly or once a week the specified amount will be automatically debited to pay for the selected service or transfer.

In addition, only through the Internet bank, the owners of the Cosmos card from Home Credit Bank can go to the special Benefit section, which was created only for cardholders with the connected program.

Here you can find information on the bonus account, see the latest bonus accruals, check the correctness of the data provided, etc. Here you can also see current promotions, find the nearest partner stores, see their list and the amount of remuneration.

The client does not have to connect the Internet bank separately. When drawing up an agreement for the provision of banking services, the client is automatically connected to Internet banking. This option is free, so you won't have to pay any commission for it.

Upon registration, the client will be given a temporary login and password for the first login to the Internet banking system. They will need to be replaced immediately.

It is worth remembering that the temporary password is valid only 1 time, so if you do not change the password the first time you use it, it will not be valid for re-entry. In this case, the client will have to call the Home Credit Bank hotline, authenticate in the system via TPIN and ask for a new one-time password to enter the Internet bank.

SMS-Bank	59 rub. per month	39 rub. per month

Both cards have very minor discrepancies in each parameter. In some points, the Cosmos debit card from Home Credit Bank wins (the interest on the balance is higher, the service is free, the validity period is longer, etc.), and in some points the Black card from Tinkoff wins (free withdrawals, free transfers, high cashback for special categories, the cost of SMS-Bank, etc.)

It is not possible to single out any of the cards unambiguously. They are both good, which is clearly evidenced by customer reviews about the Cosmos and Black card on the Internet.

What is Benefit and why is it needed?

Use is a bonus program that is connected to the Cosmos debit card from Home Credit Bank for free.

With its help, plastic owners can get guaranteed cashback for any purchases in the form of bonus points that can be easily exchanged for real money.

Bonus points are awarded absolutely for all operations of payment for goods and services, except for cash withdrawals, money transfers, replenishment of electronic wallets, etc.

Moreover, the forbidden list does not include payment for housing and communal services, fines and a mobile phone, which means that bonuses are also accrued for paying for these services.

The bank awards several types of points with different percentages of cashback. There are 3 varieties in total:

1. Standard points are awarded for all card purchases in the amount of 1% of the transaction amount.
2. Increased points are awarded for purchases of goods and services in special categories: gas stations, travel, cafes and restaurants. When paying by card in all trade and service enterprises of the city with an MCC code corresponding to these categories, 3% will be charged
3. Special points up to 10% of the amount of purchases for paying for goods and services in online stores. The fine amount of points in this case will depend on the specific online store of the bank's partner. The owner of plastic can get more detailed information in a special section of the Internet bank dedicated to the Benefit program.

Home Credit Bank limits the maximum amount of bonus deductions per month. It cannot exceed 2000 points. Points are usually credited to a special account within 15-30 days, sometimes there are longer delays, which should not exceed 45 days.

How to exchange bonus points for real money?

Points are exchanged for rubles at a simple and understandable rate: 1 point = 1 ruble. To exchange points for rubles, the client needs to go to the Internet bank, open the special Benefit section and select any purchase operation for which you want to return the money.

The amount of the operation can be absolutely anything: more or less than the sum of points. In the first case, part of the points will be written off and returned in rubles to the client's account, while the unclaimed part will remain.

In the second case, all points will be written off and credited in ruble equivalent to the client's account.

You can exchange points for real money for any transaction. Usually this procedure takes no more than 3-5 days, but the maximum period for converting points into rubles is 15 days.

Simple calculation of cashback on a Cosmos debit card with the Benefit program

Let's calculate the approximate profitability of the Benefit program for Cosmos Home Credit Bank debit card holders, who spend about 25 thousand monthly paying for various services.

For example, for the current calendar month, the cardholder has spent:

1. 2000 rubles for gasoline (3%)
2. 2500 rubles in cafes and restaurants (3%)
3. 2500 rubles for online shopping (10%)
4. 5000 rubles for housing and communal services (1%)
5. 13,000 rubles for any other purchases (1%)

To find out the final return, we need to substitute the indicators of each line into a simple formula:

X1 - cashback in rubles in this category

A - purchase amount

B — cashback percentage by category

Let's calculate the cashback in rubles for gas stations by substituting the values ​​into the formula:

X=2000*3/100=60

It turns out that if you spend 2,000 rubles to pay for gasoline, the cardholder can return 60 rubles in the form of cashback.

Substituting the indicators of other lines into the formula, we get that the cashback for cafes and restaurants will be 75 points per month, for online shopping - 250 points, for utility bills - 50 points, for other purchases - 130 points. To get the final cashback for all transactions for the month, you need to add up all the indicators for each category:

X = X1 + X2 + X3 + X4 + X5

X - cashback for all transactions per month

X1 - cashback for gas stations per month

X2 - cashback for cafes and restaurants per month

X3 - cashback for online shopping

X4 - cashback for housing and communal services

X5 - cashback on other transactions

Substitute the current values ​​into the formula and get:

X \u003d 60 + 75 + 250 + 50 + 130 \u003d 565

It turns out that every month the cardholder will return 565 rubles in cashback for all transactions. For the year, this amount will be 6780 rubles.

What do the reviews about the Cosmos Home Credit Bank debit card say?

Judging by the reviews of plastic owners, they are almost 100% satisfied with the card. Customers note its advantages and high functionality, comparing it with the most popular Russian products on the debit card market - the Black card from Tinkoff and Beeline.

They especially note the high profitability and simple fulfillment conditions for calculating the maximum interest (7.5% per year).

Many people are pleasantly surprised by the fact that during the first year of service, you do not need to pay money for a Platinum payment system card, while in most other banks servicing premium plastic will cost 3-5 thousand rubles. in year.

In the opinion of customers, even paid service, which starts from the 2nd year, does not spoil the picture, because the conditions for free use of the card starting from the 2nd year are very simple to fulfill and according to Islam for almost everyone. The client is noted that Home Credit Bank has made a truly cosmic card for the people.

There was also a small fly in the ointment in this barrel of honey. A lot of customers complain about frequent failures in the operation of the Home Credit Internet Bank. Often, customers simply cannot get into their personal account due to technical problems.

From Sberbank, I noticed that it is often compared with a debit card from Home Credit Bank - Cosmos. This card also offers a rewards program that will help you get some of your purchases back with points, and which has a large network of partner stores. In this review, I decided to compare the offers on the cards of two banks in order to find out which one will be the most profitable.

I have known Home Credit Bank itself for a long time, but I personally encountered mainly consumer loans from it. Getting money to pay for purchases here has always been quite convenient and simple. The bank also issues cards, debit and credit, but not many people know about them, and they are hardly advertised. One of these cards is Cosmos.

In April 2018, Home Credit began issuing a card called Benefits instead of Cosmos. The only difference of the new product is that you need to make at least five purchases to receive interest. The rest of the conditions remain the same. Therefore, everything that is said about the Cosmos will also be true for the Good.

How to get a Cosmos Home Credit card

First, I went to the bank's website and filled out an application form. It is quite simple here - name, date of birth, region of receipt and mobile phone number. An hour later, I received a call from the bank to clarify the details of the application and choose an office for delivery. I told the manager my passport details so that he filled out the application. I chose an office closer to the city center to make it easier to get there.

The card was ready in two weeks. I followed her to the office, took my passport with me. At home, I logged into the Internet bank, activated the card there and received a PIN code. In addition, I registered on the “Benefits” website in order to always keep track of bonuses.

How to activate the Cosmos Home Credit card

Any Home Credit card, including Cosmos, can be activated in several ways:

• At any branch of the bank. To do this, you will need a passport and the card itself. The bank specialist will activate the card and set a PIN code for it. After that, you need to put a signature on the card.
• In a special form on the bank's website. Here you need to enter the card number and the number and series of the passport, and then confirm the activation with an SMS code. After that, a bank specialist will call you back to clarify your passport data, contract number or code word. After that, the card will be activated.

• By phone hotline - each region has its own. Provide the support staff with your card and passport details, contract number and code word. After that, he will activate the card.

After activating the card on the website or by phone, you need to additionally call the bank within three days and request a PIN code. Also, the bank can send the code by mail - it will come in 15 days.

Using a new card

First, I replenished the card - transferred part of my salary there and the rest of the money from the Sberbank card. Got 20,000 rubles. By the end of the month, I had spent them all. More than 500 points accumulated on the bonus account.

You can manage bonus points in the Internet bank, mobile application or on a special website. Here you can find out the list of partner stores that offer increased bonuses for "Favor", or transfer money back to the card account.

To convert bonuses into rubles, you need to select the appropriate item and indicate the amount to be exchanged. So I did - I transferred all the points back to the card account. The money arrived the next day.

Many popular stores and retail chains in Russia cooperate with the Home Credit bonus program. In some stores, cashback has a fixed amount, in others it is a percentage of the payment amount. Most bonuses can be obtained through special offers that are updated every month.

Comparison of "Cosmos" and Maps with big bonuses

Both cards work stably, they are accepted everywhere where cashless payments operate. They have contactless payments. Bonus programs have a variety of offers from partner stores of banks. There are many more differences between the cards.

Basically, a Home Credit card is more convenient and more profitable than a Sberbank card:

• Cosmos service is much cheaper - 1,188 rubles a year versus 4,500. In addition, with frequent use of the card, it can be free
• Cosmos has a savings account - 7% on the balance. Therefore, the card can also be used to store money.
• Bonus points "Benefits" can not only be spent, but also transferred to the main account of the card. Thank you points can only be spent, and at the same time only with bank partners
• The design of Cosmos looks more interesting than that of the Sberbank card. This, of course, is subjective and not so significant, but it is more pleasant to keep such a card in your wallet or in your hands.

However, in some moments, the Card with large bonuses still outperforms the Cosmos. They are connected mainly with the features of banks that issue cards:

• Home Credit has fewer branches than Sberbank, and it is not always easy to choose the most convenient for card delivery. In addition, Cosmos is produced longer - up to two weeks.
• Withdrawing cash from Cosmos is somewhat more difficult. Home Credit has few ATMs of its own, and there are restrictions on withdrawals in “foreign” devices. Sberbank ATMs are at every turn, and you can withdraw money easily and without restrictions.
