Where the sources disagree
- Cap on the 5X rates: The booklet gives "each" of two caps of 7,500 points a month (medical supplies and travel bookings together, and international spends); the Shop & Smile T&C and SBI Card's 2020 notice read as a single 7,500-point cap across medical supplies, travel bookings and international spends. We use the booklet's two caps.
- Network: The booklet card face says "VISA/RuPay"; the product page speaks of Visa/Mastercard ATMs. We list Visa and RuPay.
Terms the calculator does not value
- Doctor's Day (1 July): 5 points per ₹100 on all spends that day, including international. One day a year; it is not entered as an earn rule.
- The booklet's MCCs for the 5X rate are 4722 (travel agents) and 5047 (medical supplies) only; pharmacies, hospitals and airlines booked directly are not accelerated. Our travel-other category is wider than 4722.
- Government-related and digital gaming spends: the Shop & Smile T&C excludes them for a list of cards, and SBI Card's 2024 lists do not name this card; no exclusion is entered.
