Best Credit card for International Transactions

[lightwaves]

Hello All,

I am planning to travel to Saudi Arabia next month and it would be great help if the members can help me in identifying the best CC for international transactions.

I have the following cards:
1. HDFC Diners Privilege
2. IDFC First Wealth
3. Axis Flipkart
4. ICICI MMT
5. ICICI Rupay
6. CITI Rewards

If there is another method which is better, I would really appreciate your suggestions and ideas.

Thanks.

IndusInd Signature Exclusive is really good, but it is a Debit Card. I got an amazing forex rate while spending in euro.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will look into it. Were there any additional charges?

Yes.. for offline international spends I think IndusInd Select , Exclusive DC are good.. otherwise RBL World Safari CC..
These have no markup fee.
Most of others have Markup fee.

Perfect! Thanks for the suggestion

Perfect! Thanks for the suggestion

But always go with backup option… means two cards from two providers … just in case

Got it! Thanks

Can also check Ixigo AU CC. They are giving it LTF for the time being.

what about indus grande world debit card?

No idea about grande DC, but generally speaking anything other than select or exclusive are not worth holding in Indusind SB portfolio

@SSV select dc has 1% markup right? I think indie dc only has 0% markup
