What is the use of Axis Select CC (if I am getting it as LTF)?

I am getting an Axis Select CC as LTF. What are the best uses of it if I am already using the following CCs?

1. SBI Cashback Credit Card: For Online Spends / 5% CB
2. Standard Chartered Smart Credit Card: For ITAX & School Fee (+1.18% Fee) Payments / 2% CB
3. Yes Bank Kiwi Rupay Credit Card: UPI Spends / 2% to 5% CB
 
Prices are inflated across all platforms except DMart. What matters is the partner offers availability for the best bang for buck. I have found big basket prices post 15-20% discount to be the best out of all quick commerce aggregators as well as DMart.
Beg to differ. Bigbasket is highly inflated and mostly useless even with discounts. BB is also notorious with the way it treats coupons etc when order gets cancelled or returned. They cancel all discounts and ask u to pay extra amount after removing discounts. And u wont be able to make next order without settling that balance. BB is a big scam.

Also several times I found FK grocery to be cheaper than BB with discount.

Select will give you 8k accor points for free as joining benefit (10k ER). Also bigbasket is best for groceries( pioneer dc+ tata neu) , refunds depends on your account. I always gets refund amount, they don’t even ask to return item actually, I use it judiciously though.

Add to that the quality levels of BB's own store brands.

I must concede that I was elated to realize that I, as a commoner, use the same lousy quality products as the Royals. 🙂

I have observed there are more options or varieties to chose from across brands vis a vis other platforms for some categories in BB especially items/brands which are regional or location specific. Mostly other platforms only provide pan India brands. End experience is always different for people basis location, local hubs capacity and operational efficiency, etc. hence what’s best for one might not be the case for another. While ordering after comparing between DMart, BB, Instamart, Blinkit, JioMart, Flipkart, Amazon, many a times following is my observation in my case:

A. For Groceries - DMart/BB most of the times, occasionally Flipkart/Amazon for non perishables mostly

B. Dairy/Frozen Products - DMart hands down followed by BB

C. Fruits & Vegetables - Amazon hands down followed by BB

D. Homeware/Kitchenware - Local shops hands down followed by DMart

E. Personal Care/Homecare products - DMart/BB most of the times followed by Flipkart

Blinkit, Instamart, JioMart do provide discounts but overall I have found them to be costlier post partner offers as well. I do use them for small ticket/urgent purchases from time to time.

I have not included subscription operators such as BBDaily, Milkbasket, Amazon Subcription, etc (though I use them as well) as they are obviously going to be costlier than these other operators. It’s apples and oranges category wise.
