PowerMiles Credit Card – Apply Online & Earn Travel Rewards

Equitas uses a rewards portal called Xchange (xchange.equitasbank.com) for redeeming reward points.

You can redeem for products, vouchers, flight / hotel booking, etc. The card’s Terms & Conditions / MITC specifies the catalogue, valuation, and conditions for redemption.

The exact value per point / the minimum points required / where you can redeem depends on which card you have and which redemption option (product, voucher, travel) you select.

Visit the Equitas Bank Website’s Credit Cards section.

Choose the variant (TIGA, SELFE or PowerMiles) and click “Apply Now.” Or by giving missed call 1800 103 2977

You will be asked to provide KYC, identity, address, income proofs, etc., to complete an online / offline application form. (Standard card application flow implied)

The bank will verify your eligibility and documents and, if approved, dispatch the card. (You may also need to activate it with first transaction or PIN setup)

The application flow and decisioning may be instantaneous or take some time depending on internal checks.

Yes, the Equitas “Most Important Terms & Conditions (MITC)” document lists several fees, and redemption governed by reward programme rules.

Key points:

• Joining / Annual Fees

 • TIGA: ₹500 (joining) + ₹500 (annual)

 • SELFE: ₹1,000 joining + ₹1,000 annual

 • PowerMiles: ₹5,000 joining + ₹5,000 annual

• Cash Advance / ATM Withdrawal Charges

 2.5% of the amount withdrawn (or ₹250, whichever is higher). Also, finance charges apply from day of withdrawal till full repayment.

• Other Charges / Fees

 • The bank may levy other charges (late payment, over limit, return of payment, etc.) as per the Schedule of Charges in the Card Agreement / MITC.

•  • Redemption handling / administrative charges (if any) would be specified in the rewards programme terms (the MITC / catalogue) — it is possible that some redemptions may carry a small fee or conversion cost. (I didn’t find a publicly explicit “redemption fee” in the MITC I reviewed, so you will need to check the latest catalogue or rewards terms)

• Waiver of Annual Fee

• TIGA: The annual fee may be waived if you spend a certain threshold in the anniversary year (as per terms)

• SELFE: Similarly, waiver if you cross a spending threshold (e.g., ₹2,00,000) in the year.

• PowerMiles: Waiver available if you spend a defined amount (e.g. ₹4,80,000) in the anniversary year.

So yes — while redemption may not always incur a direct separate fee (depending on the option), there are various fees built into the cards’ terms, and you must see the “Schedule of Charges / rewards programme” for your card variant.
