† ICICI Bank Rubyx: Rubyx is the card that settles ICICI's redemption question in writing: its own membership kit says "Each reward point is equivalent to ₹0.25 when redeemed for cash" — a quarter of the ₹1.00 house value, which ICICI documents only for Emeralde Private Metal and Times Black. earn.base bakes the haircut in.

Ranking-value face-off
Everyday spend at each card's base rate plus a realistic ~20% at its best accelerator (less for narrow or capped boosters) — milestones, fee waivers and the redemption haircut all at our house ₹/point. That's why the biggest headline rate doesn't automatically win. This is the ranking model, the one that orders the board; each card page prints the earn-rate-only net annual value instead, which reads lower for any card with an accelerator (both models, side by side). Tune it to your own spend in the calculator.
