Guys I already have 3 cards

  • SBI Simply Click
  • CITI Rewards
  • HDFC Diners Premium

Please tell me what are the other best available cards at present

My shopping trend: More than 90% online https://cdn2.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_wink.gif
Free or Renewal Fee less than 1000 will be better for me as I have to divide the total spend among all cards
Let me know if lifetime free offer/Fee weaver is there, then renewal fees will not be there.

I have sorted down some.

  • SBI Prime
  • IndusInd Iconia
  • HSBC VISA Platinum
  • Standard Chartered Manhattan Platinum
  • Axis My Zone/Privilege
  • AMEX Gold/Rewards
  • Kotak Royale Signature Credit Card
  • YES First Preferred Credit Card

thanks in advance

Ok…
My preference for Gold written based on feedback from ex-Boss who is Amex Gold from last 4-5years ….
Maybe rewards , T& C changed now.

Well it seems 1000 bonus rewards points are awarded on 4 transaction above 1000 in MR. To get same for charge card you have to do 6 transactions. Hence I also feel MR is better.

Started with 15k limit on 2012 with SCB Platinum now it’s more than 1L. Never defaulted, never late payed and never had problem with SCB. Life time free card and zero joining fee. Problem is little less offers and lesser points in on our spendings.

Looks all fine!! https://cdn3.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_cool.gif
Even lesser offers is fine as long as there are some wortwhile offers that we actuallu utilize sometime during the year!! https://cdn1.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_confused.gif
But the ‘lesser points’ is a real issue, especially if this is ur dominant usage card.. so do explore some solutions to that single problem… and things could be quite different for u (makes higher difference over a longer period)… https://cdn2.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_rolleyes.gif

Guys today received AMEX Rewards card. But surprisingly I have received two cards with different card number and same credit limit.
Both looks similar, in one card its written A/C beside cardholders name.

I didnt applied for add on card or any other AMEX card.
Please let me know if you faced similar situation.

They generally give extra card with your name + A/C (kind of a supplementary card). Limit will be shared, statement will be shared. Just you can differentiate which transaction was done with which card in your statement. No diff other than that.
Don’t forget to enroll both cards for 500rs statement credit by shopping at Amazon. You will get 500 on this card too

While applying for Yes First preferred on a card to card basis, is it mandatory to share the current card 16 digit number. I already provided statement which has last 4 digits. Just wanted to check once before giving full card number as bank rep asked for it. Thanks
