Terms the calculator does not value

  • YES Rewardz are valued at ₹0.25 only on flights and hotels (up to 70% of the invoice value) per YES Bank's redemption rules; statement credit and e-gift vouchers are worth ₹0.10 (₹0.10 for vouchers on this card), capped at 50% of available points. The calculator's cash-like mode uses the lower options.
  • Paid feature, Rewards Subscription Plan (one year): Plan 1 at ₹5,000 gives 2 times the regular points online and 3 times offline and on Select categories; Plan 2 at ₹7,500 gives 3 times online and 5 times offline on travel, dining, fashion and healthcare. Not an always-on rate, so not in the earn rules.
  • The Nov 2023 value chart lists "Renewal Rewards: reward points if renewal fee is charged" worth ₹2,000 (8,000 points at ₹0.25). Neither the current page nor the KFS (which does state Marquee's fee-linked points) mentions it for RESERV, so it is not entered as a renewal milestone.
  • Select-category mapping: telecom is valued at the Select rate although only cable and streaming (MCC 4899) is Select. The transaction-level fuel, railway and transportation fees are described in the issuer's charges but the calculator uses only monthly triggers.
  • Golf programme (green-fee waiver on select courses, network partner's terms) and purchase protection are listed on the page but their counts are not stated.
