Terms the calculator does not value

  • 10 points per ₹100 also apply at travel agencies and tour operators (MCC 4722). No calculator category isolates that MCC, so travel bookings earn the core rate here.
  • A ₹0 joining and first-year fee is offered from 1 Sep 2026 for a limited period (no end date found).
  • Food delivery apps (Swiggy, Zomato) are assumed to be fast food, MCC 5814, and so excluded from all points.
  • Other MCCs that earn nothing and have no calculator category: agriculture, contractors, the transportation MCCs 4111, 4131 and 4789, personal and civic services (7211, 7230, 7276, 7349, 8111, 8641), hospitals (8011, 8062; our health category also holds pharmacies and is not excluded) and charity (8398, 8661). Transactions under ₹100 earn nothing.
