Under the milestone benefits, cardholders can earn shopping vouchers worth up to Rs. 2,000 every year.

Cons

There are no travel privileges, therefore, the card may not be suitable for frequent travelers. The reward redemption rate is slightly lower than most of the other basic cards in the market, i.e, 1 Reward Point = Re. 0.20.
