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

* Enjoy Revolving Credit on HDFC Bank Regalia Gold Credit Card at nominal interest rate
* Get Rs. 5,000 worth flight vouchers when spending Rs. 5 Lakhs in an anniversary year 
* Avail additional Rs. 5,000 worth flight vouchers when spending Rs. 7.5 Lakhs in an anniversary year 

Cons

* No Golf benefits
* There is a capping on grocery purchase
* Rewards are in form of vouchers
