Key features

Reward details
1.5 points per ₹100 (CardExpert) or 5 points per ₹100 at a different implied point value (Paisabazaar) — both land near an effective 1.5% rate but describe the underlying structure differently.
Welcome bonus: An 'equivalent welcome voucher' scaled to the joining-fee tier, typically an Oberoi or Postcard hotel voucher worth ₹25,000-40,000 (CardExpert).
Category caps
- Utilities, insurance, government, education, rent: 0.70 points per ₹100
Redemption
Cash credit at 1 point = ₹1 (Paisabazaar; internally inconsistent with that same source's own point-value framing above), capped 10,000 points/month.
Caps: 10,000 points/month for KrisFlyer conversion
- ₹3,000 off via EazyDiner, twice a year with a 6-month cooling period.
