  • 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

  • 10X Rewards on all spends done on your Birthday
  • Reward points will never expire
  • Free Road Side Assistance(RSA) worth Rs. 1,399

Cons

  • No milestone benefits
  • Airport Lounge access limited, depends on the bank’s current offers
