You pay ₹50,000 plus GST once as a joining fee, and there is no renewal fee after that. So the card costs you nothing to keep from year two onward, and the only real question is whether the rewards are still worth the swipe. Watch the caps and the excluded categories instead of the fee.
The 'Buy 1 Get 1' movie ticket offer is limited to once per month with a maximum discount of ₹500.
Family lounge access is limited to two visits per quarter; only the individual cardholder has unlimited access.
Hotel Luxe and ITC hospitality benefits are subject to availability and blackout dates.
Reward points not earned on jewellery, fuel, cash withdrawal, bitcoin, wallet loading, alcohol, wine shops and insurance payments.
