IDFC First Bank Mayura Super Premium Credit Card & Ashva Premium Credit Card (Both Metal Cards) Launched

I have Wealth DC and CC
Then if you feel that any of two cards don’t fit value, you can ignore happily. But if you’re a fan of metal credit cards like me you can consider ASHVA only metal card or Mayura for beautiful metal card.
 
Lol.. that was a pun 😛
Not really. Sometimes having some cards will have fun and wow factor. I usually prefer spending with metal cards offline.

My metal cards: Axis Magnus, One Card, HDFC Infinia, Citi Prestige, Amex Plat Charge, now IDFC Mayura will join the list.

Which Card has MC elite? Citi prestige?
I hope they upgrade mayura to MC elite.
One disadvantage of carrying too many metal cards in wallet.. Your bag can go for additional screening at airport security. Happens with me all the time if I keep wallet in bag and not in tray.
 
MasterCard with 0% Forex is actually great combination as MC currency conversion charges are better than Visa currency conversion charges.

Yup!!
exactly went through this. They keep denying for Private (atleast in Tier2 city) even if you have 70lks+ NRV. Finally settled for wealth in initial years.
I find IDFC Private being the rarest 🙄

I can't any anything right now if private cc ltf will be issued or not to me cause my rm said for private upgrade (account upgrade is pendimg from wealth to private) only on Thursday they upgrade private @Lobogris is that true.

I have transferred my investments to HDFC and Axis now as IDFC is unable to do so. My timeline for trying for IDFC Private was around Dec 2023. Right now holding Wealth banking with them.
I have a question for you guys. How do you manage big amount in your banks without any worry as banks insure only 5L of amount?
In recent times reputed bank like Yes Bank and some co-operative banks were defaulted rendering many depositors losing their hard earned money.
 
Are the foreign cash withdrawal charges also 0? It is not mentioned in the mitc, but I remember someone mentioning it here on TF..

Yes bank was bailed out by SBI, so no one lost money.
Co-op banks are not investment worthy anyway.
RBI will not bail them out when they default.

Don't have any savings account in co operating bank. I keep in private bank like hdfc n idfc.. and amount is equally Distributed in saving/fd/RD/PPF/stock(recently started)/mutual funds(recently started)to minimize risk

I already applied for Mayura card and it’s approved. Even I was skeptical yesterday while looking at that MC World privileges and same I have mentioned in my 1st post too. I loved the visual appeal and colour of Mayura card and 0 forex helps me.

If you don’t require 0% forex benefit and guest lounge access benefit you can go for ASHVA, you get some Visa Infinite benefits too. To me Network really doesn’t matter because I have 4 Visa Infinite and 1 MC world Elite
So is the final consensus that if you have IDFC wealth lifetime free along with Magnus Burgundy lifetime free, Burgundy debit card, etc;
you don't need mayura nor ashwa ?

1. With IDFC wealth I am getting 2 Spa access every month for 20000 spend in the previous month
2. I have burgundy debit card for 1+1 free movies up to 500, 5 times a month
3. For foreign spends I have cards which give a higher positive net return, much more than zero.
4. I get unlimited free domestic and international lounge access on Magnus Burgundy with Priority pass

Annual Benefit:

Annual benefit for IDFC Mayura Credit Card (Annual Fee Payment Benefit: Spend minimum ₹8Lakhs in the previous card anniversary year and get 7,500 Reward Points (worth₹1875) (Or) Spend minimum ₹15 Lakhs in the previous card anniversary year and get 15,000 Reward Points(worth ₹3750).

Annual benefit for IDFC Ashva Credit Card (Annual Fee Payment Benefit: Spend minimum ₹8 Lakhs in the previous card anniversary year and get 7,500 Reward Points (worth ₹1875).

Overall Verdict:

IDFC launched cards just to fill the void of the paid metal cards in their portfolio. There are no super premium nor premium benefits on these cards, but the name and legacy they used is watchable to promote Indian names. At this price point they have maintained spend base access to Lounges, Golf, Spa etc.. and reward rate is not also good at this price point. Recommended only for Joining benefits.
HNIs who really can afford to pay 6000 +gst fee, will not wait a month to get lounge and golf benefits

Their CEO is really a fruitcake
 
So is the final consensus that if you have IDFC wealth lifetime free, you don't need mayura nor ashwa ?

1. With IDFC wealth I am getting 2 Spa access every month for 20000 spend in the previous month
2. I have burgundy debit card for 1+1 free movies up to 500, 5 times a month
3. For foreign spends I have cards which give a higher positive net return, much more than zero.
4. I get unlimited free domestic and international lounge access on Magnus Burgundy with Priority pass
You already have Lions and Eagles in your arsenal.

There is no need for a horse 🐎 and a peacock 🦚 😉
