Estimated net value a year
| Profile | Net | % of spend |
|---|---|---|
| First card, light spender ₹15k a month | ₹1,968 | 1.1% |
| Metro salaried ₹60k a month | ₹5,400 | 0.8% |
| Family household ₹80k a month | ₹7,320 | 0.8% |
| Frequent flyer ₹1.5L a month | ₹10,980 | 0.6% |

Fee maths: The ₹500 annual fee is waived at ₹1,50,000 a year of eligible spend, about ₹12,500 a month. All of our profiles clear that, so the fee costs nothing on them. On our 6 profiles it nets from ₹1,968 (first card, light spender) to ₹10,980 (frequent flyer), equal to 0.5% to 1.1% of spend across the profiles. Without a waiver, the metro salaried category mix earns back the fee from about ₹3,000 a month of total spend.
After fees and caps, best-case redemption. Use your own spend.
Our take: For HPCL pump users on a small budget: 4% cashback at HPCL pumps capped at ₹200 a month (reached at ₹5,000 of fuel), plus 20 points per ₹100 on groceries and utilities that share a 400-point monthly cap, which at ₹0.25 a point is only about ₹100 a month. Everything else earns 2 points per ₹100, and fuel at other pumps earns nothing. The ₹500 fee is waived at ₹1.5 lakh a year. One domestic lounge visit a quarter needs ₹75,000 of spend in the previous quarter.
From the card's terms: strengths
- Capped category-wide rate: about 5% on bills & utilities, groceries
- 1 domestic lounge visit a quarter
From the card's terms: limits
- Base return is only about 0.5% on other spends
