TechnoFino Recommends

Kotak Myntra card is in direct competition with SBI Cashback, HDFC Millennia, Axis Flipkart and Standard Chartered Digismart since all of them reward you handsomely when you shop on Myntra. If your needs are limited then there is no card which can beat Digismart since it offers a 20% instant discount else I would suggest you go for an SBI Cashback card since with that you won’t have to restrict yourself to just select merchants.

If your spends are huge on Myntra every month then also getting paid add-ons of Digismart makes much more sense.

But if you still want to get this card then better opt for the RuPay variant so that you can get an avenue to spend via UPI from this card and complete your quarterly milestone. When it comes to UPI this is the second best rewarding card currently in the market after HDFC Tata Neu Infinity which gives 1.5% on UPI spending.
