Welcome devices and memberships have no guaranteed cash-equivalent value. | Reliance rates require the exact participating merchant and payment rail. UPI at participating Reliance stores earns only the 0.25% base value, and milestone vouchers require Reliance Retail spend that the broad category model cannot safely infer. |
