The Kotak Solitaire Credit Card is a lifetime free card, so there is no joining fee and no renewal fee to recover. Everything you earn on it is net gain, which also means the only thing worth watching is the reward caps and the excluded categories. Check that the card still has no fee on your welcome letter, because Kotak Mahindra Bank prices some variants differently.
Accelerated Kotak Unbox earn rate capped at 1,00,000 Air Miles annually.
No Air Miles on utilities, telecommunications, EMI transactions, international spends, insurance, education, government services, rent, fuel, wallet loading, or gaming transactions.
Annual fee of ₹25,000 + GST applies if you exit the Kotak Solitaire banking program.
