If you are making decent, this is a no-nonsense list for you.

1) Business Owners + High Spenders = HDFC Infinia + HDFC BizBlack (tax) + Axis M4B + Amex Plat Travel (tax)

2) Business Owners + Avg Spenders = HDFC Infinia + HDFC Bizblack (tax)+ Axis Atlas

3) Salaried + High Spenders = HDFC Infinia + Axis M4B

4) Salaried + Avg Spenders = HDFC Infinia + Axis Atlas

*Bonus: Get Indusind EazyDinner Signature for great offers/discounts on restaurant bills.

thats it. Don't overthink it . this gets you the most. and works the best for most people. unless you have a specific case or wanna over optimise
 
Great write up. I can totally resonate with you. Based on personal income and choice these are no non sense cards. Eyes closed you can use them as per your requirement.
For me DCB plastic and EPM does the work.

I use credit cards Hdfc DCB + SBI Cashback + Amex travel platinum + IndusInd Rupay

I use debit cards RBL signature + IndusInd Select

This is only for frequent travelers and high spenders. roughly 1% of people come under this category.

99% people like only cashback cards.
 
For salaried, one of the best cashback cards is HSBC Salary Debit card. (both OFFLINE and ONLINE)

5% cashback above 1000 transactions.

Limit is 2X Salary. If your salary is 1 lakh per month, you can spend 2 lakh and get 10,000 cashback monthly.

For transactions less then 1000, go with Kotak 811 Debit card.

SBI Cashback only for Online.

OFFLINE, no credit cards give cashback.

These 2 debit cards are sufficient for both online and offline.
 
But this will not work if the person is not into flights and hotels.
Only cashback cards work if the person is not a frequent flyer/traveller.
well true upto some extent. you can use infinia points for apple products as well at 1:1. but almost everyone earning decent is into hotels/flights.

Imagine spending 30k on hotels booking and getting back 10k in points. which you can spend to book flights, hotels and buy apple products.
