Frequently Asked Questions

How do I compare credit cards side-by-side to choose the best card in India?

To compare credit cards effectively, evaluate 5 core parameters: (1) Effective Reward Rate on your top spend categories (online shopping, dining, travel, fuel), (2) Joining and Annual Fees versus annual spend waiver thresholds, (3) Monthly cashback and reward caps, (4) Airport lounge access rules and spend criteria, and (5) Forex markup charges. CardCheck provides a real-time side-by-side comparison matrix across 150+ Indian credit cards using verified MITC data.

How do monthly reward caps affect credit card comparisons?

Monthly reward caps limit the maximum cashback or points you can earn per billing cycle regardless of total spend. For example, while SBI Cashback offers 5% cashback up to ₹5,000/month across online merchants, HDFC Millennia caps 5% cashback at ₹1,000/month on preferred brands. Comparing monthly capping ensures your high-value transactions continue earning rewards without hitting hidden limits.

What hidden fees should you check when comparing Indian credit cards?

When comparing cards, inspect Most Important Terms and Conditions (MITC) for hidden charges: fuel surcharge waivers (capped at ₹100–₹500/mo), utility bill surcharges (1%+GST), rent payment processing fees, cash advance APRs (up to 42% p.a.), late payment fee tiers, and forex markup rates (ranging from 1.99% on premium travel cards to 3.5% on standard cards).

How do airport lounge access spend criteria work when comparing cards?

In 2026, many Indian card issuers (including HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, and SBI Card) require spend-linked eligibility for lounge access—such as spending ₹35,000 to ₹50,000 in the previous calendar quarter to unlock complimentary domestic lounge visits. Premium cards like Axis Magnus or HDFC Regalia Gold offer fixed quarterly lounge quotas or Priority Pass / DreamFolks memberships with lower spend barriers.

Which credit card is better: SBI Cashback vs HDFC Millennia?

SBI Cashback is ideal for broad online shopping as it offers 5% flat cashback on almost all online merchants with a generous ₹5,000 monthly cap. HDFC Millennia is better if you spend primarily on partner platforms (Amazon, Flipkart, Swiggy, Myntra) and value milestone gift vouchers alongside complimentary domestic airport lounge access.
