💡 Notes to Keep in Mind
- Lounge eligibility now strictly POS-based spends—UPI/online transactions don’t count. :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}
- Meeting eligibility spends doesn’t lead to refund of fees already charged (e.g. Rubyx annual fee). :contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12}
- Thanks to aggregated reports, policy clarity around reward caps and lounge access is crucial before choosing. :contentReference[oaicite:13]{index=13}
