Expert Verdict

AU Vetta blends grocery rewards, a solid 4+4 lounge package and a real insurance suite at a Rs. 2,999 fee waived on Rs. 1.5 lakh spend. The low Rs. 0.25 point value and reduced earning on rent/insurance/government temper its rewards, but the lounge and insurance bundle make it a fair mid-premium choice for grocery-led spenders who travel.
