Dos	Prioritise spends at the 10X partner merchants (BigBasket, Swiggy, Uber, OYO, BookMyShow) to maximise reward accumulation Aim for annual spends of ₹50,000 or more to secure the renewal fee waiver Link the RuPay card to UPI for convenient low-value, everyday transactions Report any lost or stolen card immediately to activate Zero Lost Card Liability protection Redeem CashPoints as cashback or via SmartBuy to get the best redemption value of ₹0.15 per point	Use the card on top partner merchants to earn maximum 5% cashback Pay the entire outstanding amount by the due date to avoid interest charges Track CashPoints regularly and redeem them for best value options Plan quarterly spending to reach ₹1 lakh threshold for gift vouchers Keep the card secure and report loss or theft immediately to the bank
Don'ts	Ignore the 2-year expiry period on accumulated CashPoints Use the card for unrewarded categories such as rent or government payments if earning rewards is the goal Carry a revolving balance, as the high interest rate (up to 45% p.a.) can offset rewards Use the card for large international spends due to the 3.50% foreign currency markup Share card details, PIN, or OTPs with any untrusted sources or ignore transaction alerts	Avoid overspending beyond repayment capacity just to earn cashback or reach milestones Do not pay only the minimum amount due regularly as interest accumulates on balance Ignore transaction alerts or monthly statements; review them promptly for accuracy Share card details, CVV, PIN, or OTP with anyone, including people claiming to be bank staff Use the card for cash withdrawals unless absolutely necessary due to high charges
