And for good reason, forex markup charge on almost all cards(& not just HDFC) is 3.5% so even if they give you 2% cb(here they re giving only 1%) for every international spend you are still paying 1.5% extra to them & this is excl gst on that forex markup charge.

No, it's 2% + GST on almost all HDFC cards. I use it every day for international transactions. So, we save 1% up to Rs 1,000 per month at an annual fee of Rs 235. Plus, we get 500 bonus points on 1st transaction. Milestone reward of Rs 2,000 yatra voucher on Rs 150,000 International spending per year.

With 1% + GST, the HDFC credit card is the #2 credit card with the lowest foreign currency markup fee after Axis Burgundy. RBL World Safari is not issued as it's on the Mastercard platform.

OneCard has 1% forex markup & with 1% cb it effectively means zero forex markup(excl a very minor gst component).

As per their websites:


Fi card: zero forex markup


Jupiter card: zero forex markup up to Rs.25k(for normal savings acc) & Rs.1Lakh(for pro savings acc) per month


NiyoX: no clarity as multiple banking partners, best way to confirm is via asking their online support.

"@andromeda":https://www.desidime.com/users/1...60 That is good then, DCB is a top tier card so didn't think about its reward program while doing intl txns(usually card gives around 1-2% on typical online txns.

DCB gives 3.3% rewards if redeeming for flights on smartbuy. 1.65% for Amazon voucher. The same reward rate I got on international txns too. 

I earlier had Regalia, no One card at that time. Regalia did serve me well.

You'll have to pay Foreign currency conversion charges on the total amount. It could be anywhere between 1.99 to 3.99 % + GST depending on the credit card.
