I have made up my mind to get those two metal HORSES
😉
Reasons for considering ASHVA (Only for First Year):
- VISA Infinite Platform
- Railway Lounge Access (No spend requirement)
- BMS BOGO
- Road Side Assistance
- Reward points for Jewelry purchase
- A big hope that this card may be revalued
- And at last, METAL card.
Reasons for not considering MAYURA:
- Same reward structure as ASHVA
- Only MC World
- Does not justify the additional premium of 3000 Rs (even the adjusted premium of 578)
- Not interested in Zero Forex and International Lounges
Can offset the Joining fee of ASHVA, by doing 3 tap and pay transactions to get 300 Amazon Shopping Voucher. (VISA Tap and Pay Offer).
Pay JF 3538 -> Get back 1250 (as points)
Spend 4*500 -> Get back 2000
Visa Tap and Pay -> 300
Get back 3550 in total.
My plan is to spend during Ecom discount sales and offline jewelry purchase, and redeem collected points in July 2025.
Cheers!
