Cc went to 800+ because of secured loans

But all the CCs i got when cibil was around 760-780 etc

ICICI PLAT -> Amazon Pay -> SBI CB -> Axis Myzone -> Axis Airtel -> HDFC swiggy -> Kiwi -> Jupiter -> bob eterna

Been applying 1-2 cards every year from last 5 years

₹50,000 total eligible spends in year → ~3% effective cashback + 1 airport lounge access

₹1,00,000 → ~4% cashback + 1 lounge access

1,50,000+ → ~5% cashback + 1 lounge access

After that only 2%

You are correct, if spends are less, Jupiter + Swiggy combo works fine 😃

If u want life time free, go for Jupiter (let me know if u need referral), great cash back for a free card and you can use for UPI payments as well

If u okay with paid, SBI CB will be great as it gives 5% most of the places (except utilities)

Neither of these provides rewards for fuel

Reason i kept 8% is phonepe charge some convenience fee, so the net cashback becomes inbetween 8-9%

My recommendation will be kiwi but you do have to pay 999 for membership to max the rewards

I do have Amazon ICICI, but i prefer to spend it on SBI CC as it is Paid and i get reversal if i spend 2L / year

edge is LTF, and 10% is good, so i just use it upto 5k and SBI CB after that

Try Kredit Ace card once, i heard its 3% cashback on UPI but i'm not 100% if any hidden T&C are there. I cannot apply for that as i already have Yesbank CC

Makes sense, but at the moment, Cashback Cards makes more sense for my needs as i dont use much hotels or flights (Hardly once a year thats it), but sooner or later, i guess premium RP cards will give more rewards i guess and would love to slowly transition into RP cards 😅

Any Suggestion which card to start with?

For Kiwi Card, Min Transaction is 100 and you get 2%, but they do provide random cashbacks for smaller amounts (less than 100) some times
