    Pros & Cons

    PROS

    • 10% Cashback on Swiggy

      Cardholders receive a generous 10% cashback on all Swiggy app spends, including food orders, Instamart, Dineout, and Genie, up to Rs. 1,500 per billing cycle.

    • 5% Cashback on Online Spends

      Users get 5% cashback on online spends across popular brands like Nykaa, Myntra, and Amazon, capped at Rs. 1,500 per billing cycle.

    • 1% Cashback on Other Spends

      The card offers 1% cashback on all other spends, with a maximum cap of Rs. 500 per billing cycle, providing value on every transaction.

    • Complimentary Swiggy One Membership

      New cardholders receive a complimentary 3-month Swiggy One membership, offering additional benefits and savings on Swiggy services.

    • Annual Fee Waiver

      The annual fee of Rs. 500 is waived off if the cardholder spends Rs. 2 lakh in a year, making it cost-effective for high spenders.

    CONS

    • Minimum Transaction Limit for Cashback

      Cardholders do not earn cashback on transactions less than Rs. 100, limiting the benefits for smaller purchases.

    • No Airport Lounge Access

      The card does not offer complimentary airport lounge access, which is a common perk in many entry-level credit cards.

    • No Fuel Surcharge Waiver

      There is no fuel surcharge waiver, making it less attractive for users who frequently spend on fuel.

    • Limited 5% Cashback Merchants

      The 5% cashback on online spends is limited to select merchants and specific Merchant Category Codes (MCCs), excluding some e-retailers.

    • Cashback Exclusions

      Cashback is not earned on several categories, including fuel, rent, EMIs, jewelry, wallet, and government transactions.
