What it's worth to you, after the fee
Read the ₹0.4L figure carefully: ₹1,000 of its ₹1,800 gross is a voucher or a hotel night, not points — worth that only if you would have bought it anyway.
Welcome: ₹1,000 gift voucher from Croma, Myntra, Amazon, Flipkart or Shoppers Stop — one transaction within 30 days, fee-paying holders only; mailed within 60 days
Priced on the everyday mix — 30% groceries · 10% utilities · 20% travel · 6% fuel · 34% everything else — with this card's published category rules applied: it earns nothing on utilities and fuel here, so that spend is dropped, not paid at the headline, and stops pacing milestones and the waiver. Plus milestones, minus the fee. No accelerator credit — the ranking model on /compare adds ~20% of spend at the card's best accelerator, so its ₹ for this card reads higher.

Breaks even only by erasing its fee at ₹6,000 a month
At ₹6,000 a month — ₹72,000 a year — on the everyday mix this card returns ₹100 gross (earn ₹100) against a fee of ₹0 — the ₹1,200 is waived, the spend having cleared ₹60,000 a year = ₹100 net — the first rung at or above ₹0. The ladder runs in ₹1,000 steps to ₹1,00,000 a month and ₹10,000 steps to ₹5,00,000; figures are rounded to the hundred, and the accelerator is never credited.
2 notes on the card itself: how it is issued · why it ranks #305
Why #305 ₹900 a month back on Zomato, Myntra and Uber is real money and the model rates it accordingly. It is also the entire card: the points this one earns move to no airline and no hotel, and no lounge visit is attached. A food-and-fashion cashback card ranks below a travel card that pays less, here, by design.
RBL publishes a card-specific redemption ceiling here: "Make the Most of Your Points: Redeem up to INR 0.20 per point", against the ₹0.25 house value it quotes on the legacy Platinum shelf. The earn figures on this page are struck at ₹0.20.
The take
Cookies is the one RBL card priced by the month, and once you see past that it is the most generous cashback rung the bank sells: 10% back on Zomato, Myntra and Uber, capped at ₹300 per brand and ₹900 a month in total. Used across all three that is ₹10,800 a year. Around it sit unlimited 5X Reward Points on online spends, a ₹1,000 welcome voucher, a ₹300 monthly BookMyShow discount, a ₹150 monthly fuel-surcharge reversal, and a milestone ladder paying ₹1,000 of vouchers at ₹2 lakh and ₹5,000 at ₹5 lakh. Read the fee the way RBL bills it: ₹100 + GST every month, and every month after the first falls away if you spent ₹5,000 on eligible categories the month before. Twelve of those is the ₹1,200 shown here — a ceiling, not a bill. A holder who clears ₹5,000 monthly pays ₹100 in year one, for the opening month that has no previous month to waive against, and nothing at all thereafter. Two honest caveats: the ₹1,200 is our own 12 × ₹100 and not a number RBL publishes anywhere, and this card redeems points at up to ₹0.20 rather than the ₹0.25 RBL quotes elsewhere.
Your renewal — keep, downgrade or cancel
This card reaches break-even by ERASING its fee, not by out-earning it: the waiver is the decision.
Keep, downgrade or cancel
₹1,200/yr at stake · 5 spend bands
The charge ₹1,200/yr
The waiver ₹60,000 of spend in the year before renewal — about ₹5,000 a month — and the renewal fee is not charged.
Break-even ₹6,000 a month — ₹72,000 a year — is where this card's value crosses its fee, and it gets there by erasing the fee at the waiver rather than out-earning it.
At your spend
₹1,500 a year, net of the fee, at ₹3,00,000 of annual spend — this clears the waiver, so no fee is charged
₹7,000 a year, net of the fee, at ₹6,00,000 of annual spend — this clears the waiver, so no fee is charged
₹8,000 a year, net of the fee, at ₹12,00,000 of annual spend — this clears the waiver, so no fee is charged
₹12,000 a year, net of the fee, at ₹36,00,000 of annual spend — this clears the waiver, so no fee is charged
₹16,100 a year, net of the fee, at ₹60,00,000 of annual spend — this clears the waiver, so no fee is charged
Everyday earn plus milestones, minus the fee — the same model as the value panel above, so the two cannot disagree. run your exact spend →

The downgrade
RBL Bank publishes no document naming a card you can step down to, so we name none — an invented product change is a phone call you would waste. That leaves keep or cancel, and the numbers above are the whole of it.

- 23 Sep 2026 Axis EDGE brings Accor back, drops ITC, and adds Cathay, Miles & More and Hilton a program these points reach

What's good
- 10% cashback on Zomato, Myntra and Uber — ₹300 per brand, ₹900 a month
- Unlimited 5X Reward Points on online spends, with no cap published
- ₹1,000 of vouchers at ₹2 lakh of spend, ₹5,000 more at ₹5 lakh
- The ₹100 monthly fee falls away in any month you spent ₹5,000 on eligible categories the month before — real annual cost ₹0–₹1,200
- 10% off BookMyShow, up to ₹300 a month — the largest cinema rung on the RBL board
Watch out
- Priced by the MONTH at ₹100 + GST — the ₹1,200 a year shown here is our arithmetic (12 × ₹100), not RBL's published figure, and it is a CEILING rather than a bill
- The very first month's ₹100 cannot be waived: the waiver keys off the previous month's spend, and a new card has no previous month
- Points redeem at up to ₹0.20, not the ₹0.25 RBL quotes on its legacy Platinum cards
- The 10% brand cashback only applies to transactions above ₹100
- Fuel, utilities, insurance, quasi-cash, railways, rent, education, wallets, government, contracted services, cash, EMI and Bills2Pay are excluded from every benefit on the card
- ₹99 + GST reward-redemption fee, charged once per day you redeem — equal to a month of membership
- RBL charges 1% on FIVE transaction types its Schedule of Charges lists separately from the reward exclusions: rent (MCC 6513, on every transaction), fuel and auto above ₹10,000 a transaction (capped at ₹3,000), utility spends above ₹50,000 a month, education paid through third-party apps such as CRED, PhonePe or Paytm (school and college websites are exempt), and — with effect from 7 January 2026 — FASTag loading and tolls above ₹10,000 a transaction. These are FEES, listed nowhere near the reward exclusions: a category can both cost you 1% and earn you nothing

What earns, what doesn't
14 sourced rules · 8 pay zero
Cookies is a brand-cashback card — 10% back at Zomato, Myntra and Uber, ₹300 a brand and ₹900 a month, on transactions above ₹100 — riding a 1 RP/₹100 base with 5X online. Its exclusion footnote is the single-wave 15-Oct-2024 form and, unusually for RBL, is worded against "the benefit" rather than against accrual; the page points at T&C clause 2.12 for the rest. Read the rows below as the categories RBL's own footnote strikes out.
- Fuel · excluded Zero benefit since 15-Oct-2024 — "Fuel & Auto" (MCC 0032, 2541, 4001, 5542, 5541, 5172) on the page's exclusion table; a fuel surcharge waiver is what remains
- Rent & property management · excluded Zero benefit — "Real Estate/Rental" (MCC 6513), plus RBL's bank-wide 1% fee on every rental transaction (MITC)
- Wallet loads · excluded Zero benefit — "Wallet/Service Providers" (MCC 6540)
- Utilities (electricity/water/gas) · excluded Zero benefit — "Utilities" (MCC 4900), with Bills2Pay struck separately; 1% fee past ₹50,000 a month (MITC)
Does your spend count toward the fee waiver?
not published — and we say which
₹60,000 a year is the bar that waives the ₹1,200 fee. A different question from the one above — earning points and counting toward a threshold are separate rules, and issuers write them separately.
Not published. RBL Bank states what the RBL Cookies earns and does not earn, but has not published which spend categories count toward the fee waiver and the milestones — the ₹60,000 bar. We won't guess it from the earn table or from a sibling card: Axis published three cards' rules on one day and all three lists differed. If you hold this card and have it in writing from the issuer, send us the document and we'll source it.

- 23 Sept 2026Axis EDGE brings Accor back, drops ITC, and adds Cathay, Miles & More and HiltonAccor and Marriott off the grid since 2 April 2026; Club ITC live; no Cathay, Miles & More or Hilton → Accor live at the punished rates; ITC removed; Cathay, Hilton and Miles & More live; Marriott still gone
Axis's own Travel EDGE terms, re-read 25 September 2026, already show the grid that went live on 23 September. Accor ALL is back, and not at the old Atlas 1:2: EDGE Miles convert at 2:1 (Olympus 1:2) and EDGE Rewards at 5:1, with Magnus for Burgundy at 5:2 and only Burgundy Private still at 5:4. Club ITC is off the table. Three partners are new. Cathay Asia Miles sits on that same punished grid. Hilton Honors is the ordinary one: EDGE Miles 1:2, EDGE Rewards 5:2, Burgundy 5:4. Lufthansa Miles & More is the exception on Atlas, which converts 1:1 there while every other standard airline on that card is 1:2; the EDGE Rewards side of Miles & More is the ordinary 5:2. Marriott stays removed. Qatar Privilege Club was already back. Flying Blue, Air India and Qantas moved into Group A, which is the capped group. The Axis Rewards credit card's Amex network is advertised as joining-fee and annual-fee nil for a limited period; there is no separate Amex variant on this board, so that offer is not modelled as a fee change.
