  • Cashback is credited as statement credit under current issuer policy.

Why you may regret it

These are the rules and drawbacks most likely to make the card feel disappointing after signup.

  • Major cashback buckets are capped monthly and can saturate fast for heavy users.
  • Merchant/MCC exclusions apply for wallet loads, rent and selected bill categories.
  • New applicants may be sourced into Ornge/BLCK rather than legacy Swiggy profile; terms vary by variant.

Quick notes

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

How to use it well

  • Use this record as the legacy benchmark and evaluate all new applications against Swiggy Ornge and Swiggy BLCK separately.
  • For existing holders, keep routing only high-yield Swiggy and eligible online spends first each cycle.
  • Track monthly cap burn-down and shift incremental spends to alternate cards after cap saturation.

Watch before applying

  • Variant migration can create mismatch between historic expectations and newly issued card terms.
  • Do not assume all online MCCs qualify for 5%; exclusions and merchant mapping still apply.
  • Re-check Swiggy partner membership terms and claim windows after any variant transition.
