Rewards credit card FAQs
It depends on the bank and how you redeem. Some banks state a value, such as ₹0.25 or ₹1 per point. Where a bank states none we say so.
Best rewards credit cards

Questions and answers
Anonymous25 Jun 2026
Do rewards cards usually have a minimum monthly spend to earn points?
Credit Card CompareEditor26 Jun 2026
No minimum spend applies on most rewards cards: points accrue per dollar from the first transaction. A card's sign-up bonus is different and often does carry a minimum-spend condition within a set window, so check that separately from the ongoing earn rate.
