Spend around 10k on flights, 10k on dining out+swiggy, utility bills around 5k, shopping around 10k. Good credit card recos. I would love to get flight redemption points.
I currently have a Diners Black and it’s LTF… had a salary account with HDFC for more than 3 years… initially started with HDFC Premium, this was in 2016, when HDFC diners had that unlimited 1+1 on BMS. Man that was legit… I remember we went for one movie wherein I booked tickets for 20 of my colleagues at the price for 10, and the best part, there was no limit to bookings. 😂
At this point, best reward rate for flight redemption is by Axis Vistara visa Infinite! But it's only useful if your routes fall under vistara routes.
Magnus and reserve aren't worth after recent devaluation. Infinia is still good, but you need to showcase salary for it

How do we get a credit card if I have no credit score before? I’ve been getting messages about Hdfc Regalia card, but not sure if I should take it. I have a salary account with hdfc for reference.
Take this care, build history with credit card for 6 months and then apply for your desired bank variant...
When I was self employed, no bank wanted to give me a CC except my kotak bank account (which was my salary account before I quit) They were offering me a CC with 15k as a limit. I took it and then used it to build my credit score. I got one more CC (onecard because it was easier to get). Now I only use HDFC and HSBC and ditched both of them once I had more stable cards. 15k nahi hai limit ab in case you are wondering :P
Recently started using Fi's credit card (a friend pushed this a lot and I gave in to try). Honestly pretty impressed. Reward proposition was initially difficult to understand at first but seems vv useful once I used the card for a month
Have similar expenses as yours and here's why I took it
How can I get it LTF?
If you have very healthy relationship with HDFC bank for a long time(huge FDs, insurance upwards of 10 lakhs), you may get it for LTF provided they come to you with the offer.
My dad has an account with HDFC from arnd 20 years back. Have a Regalia from past 7 years.
Yet it is not LTF.
He started from the most basic card.
ICICI Amazon pay card and Tata neu infinity is what I'm using. Most of my expenses are online purchases or if I go out on weekends. The Amazon Card came with a 50k credit limit for me though, I'm not sure if this can be increased but if you're looking to make any significant purchases then you risk running your credit limit very close. Otherwise it's a good card since you'll be making Amazon purchases quite frequently I'm assuming.
Hi People of Grapevine, Which CC do you use? I mean, for someone earning upwards of 25LPA - which credit cards make most sense? Let’s say the major expenses are around fuel, quick commerce and E Commerce. What are some of the best avai...
Always wondered how it happens Have been using credit cards for some time, never found as much in rewards. What can a novice change in his cards?

There are no free lunches in this world. Change your mindset. Don't change your cards.
