Quick notes

How to use the card well, and what to watch before applying.

How to use it well

  • Use only at participating offer merchants (Zomato, Uber, Blinkit, Myntra tracks) within monthly cap limits.
  • Pair with a flat cashback card for non-offer online and offline spends.
  • Review monthly expected savings vs annual fee to decide keep/close each year.

Watch before applying

  • Do not extrapolate partner offer rates to all dining/shopping spends.
  • Offer terms are dynamic and may need app-code/merchant-eligibility checks.
  • Cap overrun can sharply reduce realized return after first few transactions each month.
