ThriftRupee Insight

Most Indians leave thousands of rupees in reward points unredeemed every year. Points expire, redemption rates change, and "premium" categories often give 5-10x points that dramatically skew effective returns. A card giving 1 point per Rs 100 (worth Rs 0.25/point) gives 0.25% return -- worse than a basic 1% cashback card. Always calculate effective return rate (rupee value / spend) before choosing a card for a category.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate the value of reward points?▼
Value per point varies by redemption method. Cashback typically gives Rs 0.25-0.50 per point. Flights/hotels via portals: Rs 0.50-1.00 per point. Transfer to airline miles (best): Rs 1-2 per point. Formula: Total points x value per point = rupee value. Always compare the actual rupee you receive against the spend required to earn those points.
Which credit card gives the best reward rate in India?▼
Depends on your spending category. HDFC Infinia/Diners: 3.3% on travel redemptions. Axis Magnus: 4.8% on travel via Miles Transfer. HDFC Regalia: 1.3% base. For grocery/dining surcharge-free cards: 5% flat cashback on select cards. For fuel: dedicated fuel cards with 2.5% surcharge waiver. Match the card to your largest spending category for maximum return.
Do reward points expire?▼
Most Indian credit card reward points expire in 2-3 years. HDFC: 2 years from earning month. SBI: 2 years. Axis: 2 years. Some premium cards have lifetime validity (HDFC Infinia, Amex Platinum). Points earned on annual fee payment typically never expire. Always check your statement for expiry date and redeem before losing points.
