Hello everyone!
I’ve been using the RBL World Safari card for the past 9 months and have spent around ₹7.5 lakh on it. In return, I’ve earned 25,000 bonus reward points and a ₹10K Taj voucher, translating to an overall return of approximately 2.4%. The card offers accelerated reward rates on some travel transactions and is a zero forex fee card, which has been great.
However, I’ve achieved all the milestones for this card, so moving forward, there will be minimal returns until my new year cycle starts in November. I’m exploring other card options that might offer better returns or benefits for forex transactions.
Current Cards:
• HDFC Regalia: Considering using it with GVP, but the forex markup has increased from 2% to 3.5%.
• Amex Platinum Travel
• Axis Atlas
• One Card: Considering this for its zero forex offers, which can give about a 1% return.
Potential Options:
• HDFC Regalia Gold FYF: Offered as an upgrade from my current Regalia card.
• Yes Bank Marquee Card
Request for Recommendations:
What other cards do you recommend for forex transactions? I’m particularly interested in cards with low forex markup fees and good rewards or benefits for international spending. Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
