Everything depends on the user's usage.

Basic user who doesn't have any other cards and uses this card everywhere for,

1. Bills

2. Groceries

3. Shopping

4. Travel/fuel

5. Gold purchase (on eCommerce sales)

Cards to consider:

1. Apay icici

--> LTF

--> 5% on Amazon shopping, 2% on bill pay, 1% on all other spends. No strings, no limit, no trouble.

--> for groceries every month they run 5% additional cashback offer and ₹200 on ₹2000 shopping on Amazon which on combined would be ~15-18% discount.

2. Amex MRCC

--> purchase Amazon egv from gyftr and get rewards worth ~3.8% to 4% for spends upto 20000 everymonth.

--> troubles, not accepted everywhere and non-LTF.

--> don't but I like this card for additional insurance discounts(2-5% occasionally mostly drying jan-march period)

--> best CC support but low acceptance for offline merchants, for fuel 2+% charges applied

3. Airtel axis CC

--> 25% on Airtel recharge upto 300 + 10% on utility upto 300. If 2 people in home has Airtel or 1 Airtel sim/broadband easily 300 cashback is accumulated. Cylinder, ebill will be 10% discount very good deal.

--> every month Wednesday Amazon fresh has ₹300 (10% cashback instant) on axis cards, same like icici mentioned above you will save ~18% on groceries.

--> CC is better and reached (faced trouble at start, still they are not customer friendly and we'll knowledge than amex).

--> trouble -- ₹500 Annual charges, but utility saving would cover this easily. Or if spending is ₹2 lac , then waived off.

If possible get a HDFC savings account and platinum debit card(25k minimum balance) and get 1% additional cashback on credit card bill payment. Making 1% more rewards.

I would tend to disagree only because hdfc doesn't report credit limit to the bureaus. 

It has far reaching consequences if you want to take a loan or any other credit card down the line.
