You can apply for American Express Payback Credit Card as it has many offer and rewards. The Joining fee for this Credit Card is Rs.750 annually. You will get Rs.750 Flipkart Voucher as Joining bonus after making 3 transactions within 60 days. I personally believe Amex is the best card. It gives many offers and rewards to the customers.

Milestone benefits - One will receive Rs.7000 Flipkart Vouchers after spending of Rs.2.5 lakh in a card membership.

https://cdn0.desidime.com/attachments/photos/662270/medium/73470361611817549_6.?1611817550

The flipkart Axis bank card is co branded as a shopping Credit card. It gives many many benefits. Get Cashback with every transaction on Flipkart, Myntra and 2GUD & get 4% cashback on preferred merchants.

Category - Shopping Card.

This one is best for one who spends more on flipkart.

Attractive Welcome Gifts

  2. Rs.500 Off On Domestic hotels on Makemytrip on minimum booking of Rs.2000.

https://cdn0.desidime.com/attachments/photos/662271/medium/73470361611817552_4.?1611817554

It is recommended for shoppers. It gives good discounts and rewards on shoppings. This Card is very good for beginners those who spend more in online shopping

Category - Shopping Card

Annual Fee - Rs.499

Renewal Fee - Rs.499

Welcome Gift - Get Amazon gift card worth Rs 500 on joining

Strong Sides
  1. 2.5% value back on Amazon/BMS/cleartrip/Netmed
  2. 1.25% value back on other online spending or shopping
  3. 5% Extra Cashback on spending via SBI Yono (Amazon/Flipkart/etc)
Down Sides
  1. 10x & 5x reward points capping 10000 per month.
  2. Offline spending value cash 0.25%.

So I believe that the reward is a little less and the value back of just 0.25% On Offline spending is very less. so I recommended it would be good for beginners.


5. HDFC BANK MILLENIA CREDIT CARD

https://cdn0.desidime.com/attachments/photos/664474/medium/hdfc-millennia-credit-card.jpg?1612865340

This card is really very good for those who spend minimum 1 lakh on online shopping, normal spending and wallet loading.

Card category - Online Shopping / other spendings

  2. 1% CashBack on all offline spends and wallet reloads
  3. 8 Complimentary Domestic Airport Lounge access annually
  4. Up to 5% extra cashback on spending via HDFC smart buy ( Amazon/Flipkart/etc)
Down Sides
  1. One should have to spend a minimum Rs.2000 to get cashback. Cashback is given Rs.750 for shopping, Rs.750 for online shopping and Rs.750 for offline and wallet which i feel little less.
  2. So for Redemption of points one should have a minimum 2500 points and points validity is for only 1 year. I think this is the major downside of this card.


6. Axis Bank Ace Credit Card

In all these credit card comparisons, no one mentions about one of the best fuel card.. that’s HDFC Bharat card.. it gives 5% cash back for fuel in all outlets.. very good for beginners.. Annual fee waived with 20k spends..

Few catches.

1. 5% capped at 150 per month. So, usable for only 3k fuel per month.
2. You can redeem cashback only after accumulation of 2.5k which will take more than a year.
