How it works

5% is by merchant category, online only: grocery, food delivery and movies. Airtel DTH (MCC 4899) would earn 5% but mobile/broadband bills are utilities and earn nothing. Amazon Fresh or Flipkart grocery orders coded 5411 may also get 5%. Dining out earns 5% only when paid online, for example through District or Dineout.
