Note: The transactions for each category are identified through Merchant Category Codes* (MCC), defined by the Network, e.g. Visa, MasterCard and RuPay.

Mall food courts, Nearby grocery stores, Supermarkets, Swiggy Instamart and Grocery - worked for me for 10% cashback based on above MCC (unless you have same MCC, no guarantee).

Replace some cards (If you use this card ..):

1.5% offline - Alternative to FK 1.5% Card
10% grocery (offline) - Alternative to StanC Manhattan 5% Card
