Fine-print notesIssuer product page read 12 Oct 2026: the page is live with an application flow and no discontinuation notice, so status 'open' is confirmed. FOREX CONFLICT: the page states 'Attractive Foreign Currency Markup Fee of 3.00%' and a footnote says the markup applicable prior to 15 Jun 2026 was 2.50%. The catalog had 2.5% (from the 11 Oct 2026 re-read of the MITC, which therefore picked up the pre-15-June rate); now 3.0 from the page. New from the page: 8/4/2 points per Rs 200, the 1,500-point cap, 1 domestic lounge visit a quarter, the 10,000-point milestone, golf green-fee waiver and eligibility. Confirms fees (Rs 499 first year waived on Rs 10,000 spend in one month; Rs 499 renewal waived on Rs 1 lakh). The fuel waiver cap is not on the page (range before 15 Jun 2026 was Rs 400-5,000). Network is not stated. || Earlier notes: Listed in the current MITC fee table without a 'no longer sourced' flag, so treated as open; no product detail could be read. MITC v18 (file reference 05102026): rent (MCC 6513) fee is the greater of 1% or Rs 199 above Rs 1,000, max 5 rent transactions per 30 days; wallet loads above Rs 2,000 charged 1%; education via third-party apps 1% + GST; utilities 1% + GST once the month's cumulative spend crosses the card's threshold (Rs 25,000); fuel 1% + GST on a single transaction above Rs 10,000 or cumulative above Rs 25,000 a month; tolls and railways also carry 1% beyond thresholds. Overlimit Rs 550 + GST per transaction (from 1 Jun 2026). Reissue Rs 199 + GST. Dynamic currency conversion: 1% + GST on INR-billed transactions at overseas merchants. Existing YES Bank credit cardholders are reported as ineligible for a second card. Forex markup corrected after an independent check on 11 Oct 2026: the MITC row shows the markup (2.5%) and, beside it, the dynamic currency conversion charge; the first pass had recorded the second figure.
