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
