Includes valuable lifestyle memberships like a complimentary Taj Epicure membership for the first year and exclusive access to The Quorum Club events.

Complimentary lounge access with no minimum spend requirement
Cons
The base reward rate of 2% on domestic spends is low for a card with a ₹20,000 annual fee, as competing cards in this segment offer effective rates of 3.3% or more.
The welcome benefits, primarily a ₹10,000 EaseMyTrip hotel voucher, offer poor value against the high joining fee of ₹20,000.
The annual fee waiver requires an exceptionally high spend of ₹25 Lakhs, which is a spend-to-fee ratio of 125x, making it very difficult to achieve.
Key spending categories like rent and EMI transactions are excluded from earning any rewards, diminishing the card's overall value proposition.
