Credit Card Portfolio

[bhavyakjain]

Hello

I am building my credit card portfolio. I currently hold the following cards:
1. ICICI Amazon Pay : 8.5L (LTF), since Sep 2022
2. Axis Ace : 5L (Paid), since Apr 2023

Please recommend good cards that I should add in my portfolio.
1. I use Axis Ace for most of my spends. Please suggest how to convert to LTF.
2. I want a good Rupay card for UPI transactions.
3. My primary objective is cashbacks and offers only, so mainly looking for LTF cards.
4. Initially I want to collect cards for all major banks for offers, even entry level card would suffice for now.
5. My current CIBIL is 776. I am also concerned on how to manage/enhance my CIBIL in my pursuit for a good card portfolio.
6. Please do add in any other recommendations or suggestions if you have any.

Thanks

Please include the age of your cards so that TF legends can provide you with C2C recommendations in conjunction with other bank cards.

get axis iocl card by calling customer care.

Off topic: Kindly advise whether I can apply for the IOCL card considering I already have a 4-month-old Axis Ace card with a credit limit of ₹159,000 and 4 months spend exceeding 1 Lac. I am specifically interested in the lifetime free (LTF) variant. (Can it be negotiated with CC)

Don't apply call customer care & get it via otp

Same limit
590-250 = thats ur fees
Then use it for a year .. try with customer retention for ltf after a year use ..
With rupay u can use it everywhere hence milestone can be reached 😁.
If u do fuel thats 4% on upi fuel too . With card swipe u have surcharge.with upi none .

Combine that with previlgae card ( redemption into Myntra voucher thats 8% reward . 🥸

Honestly, For now I only want it for CC collection. I am not a huge spender. So, apart from a good cashback Rupay card, I am satisfied with current ones. I only need to collect to avail some good offers that come from time-to-time and also just for the fun of it.

Infina and Millenia are great but,
HDFC MB card is definitely...a clear winner. It's like the OG of credit cards - everyone in TF loves it...allegedly. 😹

Infinia and LTF combo is very rare... Possible but difficult...
Millenia LTF is easy... I have one

I have axis flipart with limit of 2 L and I rarely use it so can I convert it for axis IOCL rupay by calling to CC ?

I was getting this offer in the app a few months ago but I didn't apply... now I regret because the annual fee is now charged and the cashback I earned in the last year is only around 900...

And yes.. I forgot to mention one thing...
Good things come at a price... that's why good credit cards come with a fee..
Most of the LTF cards have abysmal returns...
You aim for 5-10% returns then paid cards are not a bad option at all.
Even 2-3 cards would give much more than 20 free cards

I recently got the Samsung signature card and used it to fullest(bought the samsung products)
Now even that is not useful for me.

So as you've said, I should get the IOCL card with the axis privilege card ?? best combination ??
