† YES Bank Zagg Credit Card: ₹0.25 a coin, and the co-brand partner prints it: "4 Zagg Coins equal ₹1 and can be redeemed directly into your bank account." Cash is the only door, which also makes it the best one — there is no portal markup to lose and no airline or hotel to reach. Zagg Coins are NOT YES Rewardz: the bank's own T&C says any Zagg-app programme "would be the sole responsibility of the TPAP", and Zagg is absent from the MITC table listing every card that earns YES Rewardz.
† AU Zaggle Credit Card: AU prints the rate itself: 1 Zagg Coin = ₹0.25, redeemed as cashback through the zagg.money app. Zaggle's headline '8%' is 8 COINS per ₹100 — ₹2 — not 8% of the transaction; read it as rupees and the card looks four times better than it is.

The ₹ face-off at ₹1L/₹3L/₹5L a month
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.
AU Zaggle Credit Card wins under ₹1.25L/month; YES Bank Zagg Credit Card takes over above it.
