- People who prioritise flights.
- People who prefer keeping a card without an annual membership cost.
Key strengths
- 4% travel redemption value on eligible Scapia-app flight, hotel and bus bookings.

Trade-offs to understand
- Mastercard earns 2% redemption value on eligible purchases of ₹20 or more; RuPay earns 1% on eligible purchases of ₹500 or more.
