Milestone benefits

Milestone benefits are additional rewards, often a lump sum of bonus points, vouchers, or a fee waiver, unlocked when your annual spend crosses a specific threshold, separate from your regular per-transaction reward rate. These are common on premium and co-branded cards, where crossing a milestone (say, ₹3 lakh or ₹6 lakh in a year) triggers a bonus on top of what you've already earned from spending itself. They can meaningfully boost a card's effective return, but only for spenders who reliably hit the required threshold, for lower spenders, they add little practical value.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, milestone thresholds are almost always measured on an annual (or sometimes card-anniversary-year) basis and reset at the start of each new cycle.
It depends. If you're naturally close to the spend level anyway, it can be a meaningful bonus, but spending purely to hit a milestone usually isn't worth it once you account for what you're spending to get there.
