Indusind Explorer Vistara Credit Card

Not many people are aware of this card but its a good card for forex spends as it has ZERO markup fees on forex spends. Also you get 1 business class vistara ticket on spending every 3 Lakhs upto 15 lakhs. As joining benefit u get Vistara Gold tier and 1 business class ticket.

U can get 6 business class tickets in a year with this so you get ~5% return on this. And forex markeup waiver is cherry on cake. Moreover u do not get charged any late fees on this card.
 
Leaving aside the 0% FX markup & no late fees, the Explorer card is inferior to the Axis Vistara Infinite even if we're just considering the 10k renewal fee every year.

Vistara Gold is only for the 1st year with the IndusInd Explorer card (you need to meet renewal criteria for CV Gold in year 2) but you do get a business class ticket on card renewal each year. The spend milestone for business class tickets is also at every 3 lakh spend milestones.

In contrast, the Axis Vistara Infinite gives a business class ticket + CV Gold on paying renewal fees every year.

The Axis Vistara Infinite works out much better up until the 3rd milestone spend at 7.5 lakhs at which point you've got 4 free business class tickets (one ticket on card renewal and 3 tickets for every 2.5 lakh spend marks until 7.5 lakhs). The card stops making sense post the 7.5 lakh milestone spend as the next milestone is at 12 lakhs.

Even if you never used the Axis Vistara Infinite card for spends, the free business class ticket + CV Gold more than covers the 10k yearly fees
I agree and this was specifically to draw attention towards 0 markup fee on forex transactions. Axis Vistara Infinite is a better card in terms of ROI if u spend on domestic transactions
 
Actually the club vistara card is no match for vistara infinite but for 40k + gst you get 25k vouchers and a business class ticket. 3k off once in 6 months from EazyDiner. Also , vistara gold only for first year which is a downside. I’ve taken this card for other reasons though. But any day axis vistara is superior. Upar se the BookMyShow offer on club vistara expires a lot I had to fight with product team to increase the quota.
 
I have upgraded my Pinnacle card to Indusind Vistara Explorer Card. I see value in 3000 x 2 voucher of eazydiner. I am also holding eazydiner indusind credit card as well. Even if i value eazydiner voucher at 2250Rs each then its 4500Rs value back and 1 business class ticket makes it value for money. I have axis vistara signature & sbi vistara prime card, i will surely apply for Axis Infinite Card in future as rewards structure is better on that. I think after vistara - air india merger there will be changes to these cards, hence i will wait for that.
 
Yesterday I received Indusind Vistara Explorer Creditcard card looks and little bit different from indulge credit Card and vistara explorer card is little bit weight and looks like not a plastic card I think it is a metal card I think can any one received that card recently is this card a metal card?
