Accelerated points follow the online or international flag and MCCs 5812 (dining) and 4722 (travel agencies); utility bills (MCC 4900) and UPI payments get only the core 3 points. Online grocery and food delivery are left unrated because supermarket (5411) and fast-food (5814) merchant codes earn nothing even when paid online. Points on ETERNA do not expire. Points earn only on transactions of ₹100 or more.
