Advice regarding cards for international offline spends ?

[giri123]

Hi All,

I have a secondment opportunity in London for 1 year. I am a bit confused if I should be using any Indian credit/debit card or Forex card for my spending over there. These are the cards I own as of now and I am happy to apply for any newer cards if the benefits are good;

Credits Cards

1. Amex Platinum travel card
2. SBI cashback card
3. Amazon ICICI credit card
4. IndusInd Bank Pinnacle credit card
5. SCB Manhattan Credit Card

Debit cards

1. IndusInd Exclusive debit card
2. SBI Platinum rupay debit card

Kindly guide me if its beneficial to use any existing or new credit cards for my international spending (mostly offline). Also, will the exchange rates be more than Fore cards (Have bookmyforex card)?
