Best Starter Travel Card

HSBC Travel One

With HSBC Travel One you get handsome returns when making flight and hotel bookings through the HSBC Market Place platform. HSBC has a very extensive list of airline and hotel partners which makes burning easy

Best All Rounder Travel Card

Axis Atlas Credit Card

With Atlas you get a very good base earning rate of 4% and 10% on travel. This is an all-rounder card and our absolute favorite. Sadly Axis has stopped issuing this card.

Best Starter Card for non travellers

American Express® Platinum Travel Credit Card

Amex Platinum Travel gives 40,000 Milestone points and a ₹10,000 Taj voucher on spending ₹4,00,000 in a year. If you don't spend on travel too much but still want to earn good points on everyday spending then this is the card for you.
