Full pros & cons

AU Bank Spont Credit Card

What's good
  • 1% cashback on all eligible UPI and POS transactions — no category tracking needed
  • Very low income requirement: ₹10,000/month salaried — one of India's most accessible credit cards
  • 2 domestic lounge visits/quarter + 2 railway lounge visits/quarter
  • Works with all UPI apps (PhonePe, Google Pay, BHIM) for QR scan-and-pay
Watch out for
  • ₹500/month cashback cap limits returns for high-spend users (max ₹6,000/year)
  • Lounge access requires ₹50,000 spend in the previous quarter — steep for a ₹299 card
  • 3.49% forex markup — purely a domestic card; avoid for international use
  • Zero rewards on fuel, rent, education, government, insurance, EMI, and BBPS payments

Kiwi RuPay Credit Card

Watch out for
