07 FAQ
Common questions
The ₹25,00,000 threshold waives the ₹5,000 + GST (₹5,900) annual fee, but most users break even far earlier via milestones: Silver at ₹3L unlocks 2,500 EDGE Miles (~₹2,500), Gold at ₹7.5L unlocks a cumulative 5,000 Miles, and Platinum at ₹15L unlocks 10,000 Miles. Platinum alone returns roughly 1.7× the fee in milestone miles.
