Worth it?
With good minimalistic design & 2.5% cashback on Online Spends (txn: >2k INR) that simply replaces most other cashback cards in the industry.
But hey, the upper cap is “Rs.750 per month” for this category. That’s about Rs.30k monthly spend which is bit low but still good for most “regular” credit card users.
So it all looks good for now, we will know how this actually works in reality soon.
