No, but LTF. Better when you hold multiple cards.

Okay. Lets begin… Hold your breath

2015-2016:
→ HDFC All Miles LTF
→ IndusInd Voyage LTF
→ * HSBC VISA Platinum LTF
→ * ICICI VISA Platinum LTF

2016-2017:
→ * AXIS NEO MC LTF
→ Standard Chartered Supervalue Titanium (Paid)
→ HDFC Regalia First LTF
→ * AMEX MRCC (Paid): but never had to pay a renewal fee ever

2017-2018:
→ CITI Rewards (Paid)
→ * Amazon Pay ICICI LTF
→ * SBI SimplyCLICK (Paid)
→ Flipkart AXIS MC (Paid)
→ Kotak Urbane Gold (Paid)

2018-2019:
→ HDFC All Miles upgraded to HDFC MoneyBack LTF
→ SC Landmark Rewards (Paid)
→ * Yes Prosperity EDGE LTF

2019-2020:
→ * HDFC Regalia First upgraded to 6e XL-IndiGo LTF
→ * HDFC MoneyBack upgraded to Millenia LTF
→ * Kotak Urbane Gold upgraded to Kotak League (Only joining fee, no annual fees)
→ * SC Landmark upgraded to DigiSmart LTF
→ # Closed SC Supervalue Titanium (Paid)
→ * IndusInd Voyage upgraded to InterMiles LTF
→ * AXIS ACE (Paid)

2020-2021:
→ * RBL Platinum Delight LTF
→ * BOB Eterna LTF
→ * CITI Rewards (Paid) upgraded to CITI IndianOil LTF
→ # Closed AXIS FLIPKART MC (Paid)
→ * IDFC FIRST Select LTF
→ * CITI PayTM First VISA (Paid)
→ AXIS FLIPKART VISA LTF

Plan ahead:
→ Close AXIS ACE
→ Negotiate with AMEX for MRCC LTF or close it, although I hardly ever paid them any renewal fees.
→ Revert HDFC 6e XL-IndiGo to DinersClub/ Infinia/ Regalia LTF

Glossary:
Current subscriptions : Marked in asterisk (*) : Mostly LTF cards (most providers buckled to some degree of negotiations to go LTF), I have trimmed down to only 4 cards with some sort of annual fees (mostly exempted by spending limit, if used according to plan)
Closed subscriptions : Marked in hash (#) : Mostly paid/unnecessary subscriptions

Am I still missing something?? Feel free to suggest me if I should try anything more. I hate the so-called “ultrapremium” cards. They have tons of fees against no real-world benefits. I tend to stay away from those “status-symbol” cards.

In my opinion, stick to mostly basic cards with LTF subscription for festive/promotional offers, with a few premium cards whom you should be able to extract more than you have to pay for maintaining them.

Noob question.
Got my HSBC addon card delivered.
How to activate it/use it ?
Means will have to create new user id/pass or it will be shown in my primary account as new card ?

Now a days, all cards are basically pre-activated. Specially, for addon cards I never required any separate activation process. Your addon card is already tied to a mobile number for OTP delivery.

You can straightaway transact online using OTP.

SBI simply click – 2019
BOB Easy – 2019
Citi Paytm – 2019
Upgraded to BOB Select from Easy – 2021
Axis Ace – 2021
Planning to close Citi Paytm and BOB select as BOB has devalued the rewards.
Looking for a card that gives maximum points on wallet loads.
