Hello guys, My brother is a GST officer in central government and want to travel to outside india , we are thinking to apply for credit cards with zero forex markup fees.

We can't get Scapia because we already have One card with federal bank. So can you guys suggest a couple of cards we can apply and get it approved easily which has zero forex markup fees .

Thanks in advance !!

Yes it can be opened online. You will have to create FD by using Netbanking during the application process

Once the need is over, can we close the WOW card easily online? Will the lien on the FD be released easily? Will we have to go behind IDFC customer care to release it?

I had a not so good experience with an HDFC secured card some time back. Had to go to branch and write letter to remove the lien on FD.

Yes it can be closed easily by calling customer care. I had closed it once as renewal FD rate was lower than market rate

Haven't closed before FD renewal though. You will have to check with customer care if there are any charges with premature FD breakage

Last month I got a LTF Shoprite with the hope to convert it to world safari after sometime... however the annoying verification calls and their agents trying to upsell a different variant and lying to the face made me not to activate that card as of now

Thanks for the info. Did some research about it. Other than Forex, no other benefit. So not planning for it. Dont want to do vkyc and all for just the forex.
Most probably I will go with IDFC WOW since I already hold IDFC select card.
If it doesnt work out, I will think of UNI. But its a good option if you dont want to lock money in FD.

Looking for zero forex credit card - is idfc wow good ?

I already have idfc wealth - which i used for international travel , but after some calculation found that markup + gst for my spends exceeds my estimates.

Is IDFC wow allowed for me ? Does it has international lounge access - same rules like idfc wealth ?

Any recommendation for any other zero markup credit card other than idfc wow ?
