What a point is worth

Earning 2 pts / ₹100, the same point pays very differently by redemption path:

Redemption pathPer pointEffective on spends
Vouchers / catalogue₹0.250.50%
Statement credit₹0.250.50%

SBI RP ₹0.25 across catalogue/statement (bank). Rankings across KaunsaCard use a single conservative value (₹0.25/pt = 0.50%); transfer ceilings assume premium-cabin awards and are never used to rank.
