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
- Air accident insurance cover worth Rs 2 crore
- Emergency overseas hospitalization: Rs. 50 Lakh
- Travel Insurance Cover of up to Rs. 55,000 on baggage delay
- Credit Liability Cover of up to Rs. 9 Lakh
- Diners Exclusive Offers: Fast Track Airport Experience, Dining Delight (exclusive dining offers, from gourmet cuisine to local delicacies), Luxury Spas access, and Small Medium Enterprise (SME), which is tailor-made offers such as workspaces, business insurance and wellness discounts to meet business needs
Cons
- Joining and renewal fee is on the higher side
