Visa: 10% Coins (2% effective) · RuPay UPI ₹500+: 5% Coins (1% effective) · Scapia app: 20% Coins (4% effective) · 5 Coins = ₹1 Five Scapia Coins = ₹1 towards eligible app bookings, not cash. Coins normally expire after 36 months; account inactivity/closure can forfeit them. Booking and Coin redemption fees are excluded from these gross estimates; compare the checkout price with the same itinerary elsewhere.
Cash-value estimates are not enabled for this product. Its merchant, feature or redemption conditions need a separate model; published earn rules and non-cash benefits are shown below. Eligibility and excluded transaction types still matter even where no cap is recorded.
Cardholders who use the benefits listed below and can meet the applicable channel, merchant and spend requirements. Fee-waiver terms: Lifetime free.
The annual fee outweighs the benefits you can actually use, or your main spending falls outside the eligible merchants or categories.
Why no automated estimate: Federal issues both Visa and RuPay cards under the same account: eligible Visa everyday transactions earn 2% effective value, eligible RuPay transactions of ₹500+ earn 1%, and Scapia-app bookings use a separate 4% route. The calculator has no network or booking-channel input, so its single rate would misstate at least one route.
