Questions people ask

How did you rank these cards?

By net value at typical Indian spending: reward rate, minus the annual fee, after the monthly caps. Not by commission.

Can I hold more than one of these?

Yes, and pairing a free card with one paid card usually beats holding a single expensive one. Check each card's fee waiver condition first.

How often is this page updated?

Every card page carries the date we last checked the bank's own website. When a reward rate changes, we post it in the news section.
