Axis Bank SELECT Credit Card: rewards, caps and exclusions

The Axis Bank SELECT Credit Card pays about 2% on Groceries, Shopping, on the first ₹20,000 of spend a cycle, and 1% on everything else. Below is every rate, cap and exclusion in Axis Bank's published terms, as we last checked them on 9 October 2026.

≈ marks a rate paid in points, valued at ₹0.2 a point. That is Zenidhi's conservative valuation, the same one the audit uses: the cheap end of what the points can be redeemed for, never the best transfer. Redeemed well, they can be worth more.
