Where the sources disagree

  • Foreign currency mark-up (1.99% or 3.5%): The MITC's foreign currency and DCC lines give 1.99% to 'Elite' (and AURUM and others) and 3.5% to all other cards, without naming the banking co-brand editions; this card's T&C booklet says nothing about forex; the product page states a 1.99% foreign currency mark-up for the card. We use the page for the foreign currency mark-up and keep the DCC fee at the 3.5% default until a document names this card.

Terms the calculator does not value

  • The accelerated rate does not apply at Metro Cash & Carry and Walmart either (Flipkart Wholesale is the rule wholesale-no-accelerated); neither has a merchant file.
  • The BookMyShow offer needs a booking on bookmyshow.com with the card selected under Avail Offers; the calculator does not value the ₹6,000 of ticket discounts.
