Suggest Correct Combination of Credit Card for Travel

[ssng.89]

Recently, I've accumulated quite a few credit cards as follow:-

1. HDFC Regalia Gold,
2. HDFC Tata Neu Infinity,
3. HDFC Swiggy (LTF),
4. Axis Airtel (for Airtel Broadband payments),
5. Axis Flipkart (LTF),
6. American Express Platinum Travel Card,
7. Yes Marquee Card,
8. IDFC Mayura (only for the first year),
9. IDFC First Select,
10. PNB Rupay Select,
11. ICICI Amazon Pay,
12. SBI BPCL.
13. Axis Magnus (closed the card)

However, the one card I’m unable to get is the HDFC Infinia, which I’ve been wanting for a while. I travel frequently and am specifically looking for a card with zero foreign currency markup. Could you suggest the best card for 0 FCY? How is AU Ixigo? RBL World Safari is not serviceable in my area. Do you feel Yes Marque is good to use ?

Could the experts here suggest an ideal combination of cards from what I currently have, or recommend any additional cards that could better suit my needs? Also, if there are any cards in my portfolio that you think aren’t worth keeping, I’d love to hear your thoughts along with reasons.

Your advice would be much appreciated!

Infinia comes with FX charges of 2% + GST. So with your card portfolio only Yes Bank Marquee gets net FX charges of 1.2% including GST and more rewards compared to Mayura with 0% FX

Idfc mayura has 0 forex markup, right?

From your current portfolio
IDFC Mayura for all your international spends,
0 markup fee along with some RP

IDFC Mayura is not that rewarding, will close it on the 11th month. Any other card with 0 FCY mark up fee Card? RBL world safari is not available to me. I heard of AU Ixigo, is it good?

AU Ixigo is good, rewards points are almost non existent but 0 forex and LTF is key benefit. It is offered in VISA and RuPay variant.
BUT if you get this card, you can't get any other card from AU.

It is, but reward structure is not good. I will close it on the 11th month.

Mayura has a better reward structure than AU Ixigo!

Use Mayura for now.... think about a new zero forex card after 10 months when you are closer to close Mayura

[faaranmo]

You have to do offline with Axis agent

I'm currently using infinia and M4B, does it make sense to go for axis olympus? Little bit inclined over the lifestyle benefits of olympus. 95% off my spends will be covered by infinia and M4B.

Note: I don't have Atlas card, how about Atlas vs olympus if I have to go for the next card

Atlas is much better because of the 10% return on direct hotels and direct flights.
And you cannot earn on Atlas and redeem on Olympus 1:4 if you have both the cards.
the redemptions are separate
