How we picked these cards
For every Flipkart transaction, we calculate the effective % return on each card — the actual rupees back at the best realistic redemption (Smartbuy, EDGE portal, statement credit, or airline transfer). Capped categories are honored, exclusions are noted, and redemption fees are factored in.
Reward rates are sourced from the bank's product page and re-verified quarterly. The rate you see is what you actually earn, not the headline promo rate.
