Best suited toHeavy Swiggy/Instamart users who are already Swiggy BLCK members or want to be.Households spending steadily across dining, groceries and utilities who also want occasional lounge access.
Main trade-offThe 10%, 5% and 1% buckets have separate caps and exclusions. The engine applies an accelerator only when the merchant or route is known.The 10% rate is capped monthly, so once you cross the cap the effective blended rate drops toward the 1.5% base for the rest of the cycle.
