Where the sources disagree
- Utility and telecom rate: The page says 2.5% (5 points per ₹200) "on every ₹200 spent online, offline and on UPI" from 13 April (year not given), while the December 2024 terms and agreement 22.5.1 (May 2026) give 1 point per ₹100 on utility and telecom, up to 100 points a transaction. We keep the 1 point per ₹100, since no document lifts utilities to the 2.5% rate.
Terms the calculator does not value
- The ixigo discounts are up to ₹3,000 on flights and ₹3,000 on hotels and ₹300 on buses a month if used in full, and the zero payment gateway fee on trains; they are not valued.
- The page headlines "2.5% rewards" for 5 points per ₹200, which implies about ₹1 a point; no document states a value, and the only one found is ₹0.20 for gift cards (2023 notice), so the card is probably undervalued here.
- BBPS bill payments earn nothing but have no category here and are valued at the base rate. The page's offer dates ("with effect from 13th April") give no year.
- The lifetime-free status is described as for a limited period.
