Editor's Review
Pros
- Convert Reward Point into Health Credits
- Get 10% Instant Discount at Select Apollo Services
- Complimentary Apollo Gold Tier Membership
Cons
- The reward points earned can only be redeemed to avail services at Apollo Healthcare Centers and related stores
- The complimentary OneApollo Silver Tier Membership doesn’t add much value as it could be availed by simply enrolling for the program for a decent cost or even for free. If they had to give this benefit, they should have probably offered a Gold Tier Membership to the program, which otherwise requires the person to spend a high fee for it in a year
- No Golf/coaching sessions
Pros
- Redeem StarPoints to get free gifts, merchandise and services from BOI redemption platform. The platform of free gifts, merchandise and services includes: Airline tickets, Personalized products, Bus tickets, Movie tickets, Entertainment products, Electronic items, Family, Home, Fashion & Beauty products, Music and Sports products, and Limited-time Seasonal Rewardz, etc
- Interest free credit for up to 51 days and revolving credit at preferential rate
- EMI at POS facility available on POS that are managed/owned by M/S WorldLine Private Limited irrespective of Bank
Cons
- No Golf Privileges
- No Airport Lounge access
