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 ₹1,539 (first card, light spender) to ₹6,900 (frequent flyer), equal to 0.4% to 0.9% of spend across the profiles. Without a waiver, the metro salaried category mix earns back the fee from about ₹5,000 a month of total spend.
After fees and caps, best-case redemption. Use your own spend.
Our take: A grocery-focused card: 20 points per ₹100 on groceries, capped at 1,000 points a month, which at ₹0.25 a point is 5% on the first ₹5,000 of grocery spend (₹250 a month at most). Everything else earns 1 point per ₹100 (0.25%), and fuel, utilities, insurance, rent and wallets are excluded. The ₹500 fee is waived at ₹1.5 lakh a year, and the welcome benefit is 2,000 points on the first eligible spend within 30 days.
From the card's terms: strengths
- Capped category-wide rate: about 5% on groceries
