Where the sources disagree
- 5X categories: The product page gives 5X on 'Departmental Stores and Movies'; the features T&C table names only 'Departmental store: 5311' for this card. We follow the T&C: department stores are entered (5X, 10 points per ₹100) and cinemas are not.
Terms the calculator does not value
- The page also lists movies in the 5X line; the T&C table for this card names MCC 5311 only (see conflicts), so cinema spends earn the core rate here.
- 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.
