Where the sources disagree

  • Fuel surcharge waiver range: The product page says the 1% waiver applies "on all petrol pumps across India" with a ₹100 cap; the booklet limits it to transactions between ₹500 and ₹4,000. We use the booklet.
  • Cap period of the 5,000-point cap: The booklet calls the cap both "Maximum Cap of 5,000 Reward Points / Statement Cycle" and "the monthly cap"; the FAQ says per statement cycle. We use the statement cycle.

Terms the calculator does not value

  • Apollo Circle value back (up to 15% on medicines and up to 20% on diagnostics, paid by Apollo as Health Credits on top of the card's points): it is Apollo's, sits outside SBI Card's reward points and has no published cap, so it is not entered as an earn rule. It could roughly double the card's return at Apollo.
  • Points are redeemable only as Apollo Health Credits; value ₹1 is only realised by spending credits at Apollo, so the card's value for people who do not use Apollo is lower than the calculator shows.
  • Complimentary Apollo health check-up and FITPASS PRO are valued only for the health check-up (₹1,999 as the issuer states, one a year); FITPASS PRO states no value. The check-up is a voucher for one named package, so ₹1,999 is the issuer's figure, not a cash value.
