How does Ri8Lane calculate the Swiggy Instamart reward rate?

Accepted Answer

We compute the **effective cashback %** using each card's published reward structure: points earned × redemption value ÷ ₹ spent × 100. For example, a card earning 5 points per ₹150 with each point worth ₹1.00 in statement credit = (5 × 1.00 ÷ 150) × 100 = 3.33% effective. All rates verified from bank-published T&Cs, not third-party aggregators.

Question 4

Are these reward rates verified or estimated?

Accepted Answer

Verified. Every card's reward structure on Ri8Lane is sourced directly from the issuing bank's official website, Most Important Terms & Conditions (MITC) document, or product page. We never use aggregator data. Each card detail page shows the "Last verified" date.
