Pros

Aspects that make this credit card amazing.

  • High value back on Tata Group consumer facing brands
  • While Domestic Airport Lounge access comes with spend condition, the lounge access is given in the form of vouchers which can be claimed within 120 days. After claiming also you get another 60 days to use it. So, in total, you get 180 days to use the lounge access after being eligible for the same. So, you can accumulate the lounge access vouchers for your trips and use access multiple lounges within the same quarter or month also if you have multiple vouchers. This gives good flexibility.
  • Decent value back on UPI payments
  • This is among very few credit cards which gives value back on insurance payments.

Its airport lounge program although comes with minimum spend condition, but due to 180 days time to use claim and use the lounge voucher, gives flexibility to accumulate multiple voucher for long trips with multiple airport visits. Upper limits on Neu Coins on utility bills payment and insurance are very high which are sufficient for almost all retail customers.
