Devaluation Axis Vistara Infinite vs IndusInd Club Vistara Explorer after Axis devaluation.

[avijith7]

With the Axis Vistara Infinite Credit Card about to be devalued soon (Vistara Gold Membership now limited to first year), is the IndusInd Club Vistara Explorer Credit Card a better option, since it offers significant lifestyle benefits as well in addition to the free spend based Vistara tickets?

If 15 lacs you were going to spend anyways(not manufactured), then IndusInd explorer is better as you get 5 Business tickets. If your spends are lower, then getting Atlas/SBI VP/Axis Vistara signature is better, as the ROI is good. If spending on utility/insurance/govt spends - better check first how much cv points you get with each card and then get that.
Also if you are fine with Prem economy, a combination of SBI VP, Axis Vistara signature, IDFC Vistara could also be done.

Vistara Credit cards are the worst credit cards in today's time. They may have been good a year ago, but banks have issued too many Vistara cards. IT is hard to get an award seat if you are not booking months in advance. The upgrades also work only on award flights. CV points also work only on award seats. I have been holding Axis Vistara infinite and have never been able to find award seats on any routes even if I try to book 1 month in advance which is typical of any business travels. The limited routes on which Vistara operates, only adds to the misery.
