How we work out the yearly value

We put each card through the same everyday mix of spending, apply that card's own rules for each kind of spend (some earn nothing on fuel or bills), add its milestone and renewal bonuses at our value per point, and take off the fee unless that spend waives it. Bonus categories that need you to shop a certain way are not counted. Your own mix will differ: try your numbers in the calculator, or read how we value cards.

Watch out 6 points

Axis Burgundy Private

  • Invite-only behind a ₹5 Cr Burgundy Private Total Relationship Value — EXCLUDING demat — so the fee is Nil but the door costs crores
  • ₹1,00,000 + GST surfaces if the private-banking relationship lapses or you downgrade out — that lapse fee DOUBLED from ₹50,000 on 1 Sep 2026, and TRV is tested in the month before your card anniversary month, so a relationship that slipped in the wrong month bills six figures
  • Aug–Nov 2026 revision package: since 28 Aug 2026 Priority Pass no longer opens Indian domestic lounges (present The One Card itself; PP stays for international and post-immigration lounges), and from 15 Nov 2026 the bundled memberships renew only with your explicit consent
