Expert Verdict

AU Altura Plus is an entry-level online-shopping card with a no-joining-fee structure and an easy Rs. 80,000 fee waiver. The Rs. 0.25 point value and railway-only lounges keep it modest, so it suits budget online shoppers who hit the Rs. 20,000 monthly bonus rather than anyone seeking premium value.

What we like
+Zero joining fee and Rs. 499 annual fee waived on Rs. 80,000 annual spend
+2x reward points on online spends (2 points per Rs. 100) with no monthly cap stated
+500 bonus Reward Points each month on retail spends of Rs. 20,000
+1.5% offline cashback (capped Rs. 100/cycle), railway lounge access and 1% fuel surcharge waiver
What we don't
Very low point value of Rs. 0.25, so base 1 point per Rs. 100 is just ~0.25%
No airport lounge access, only railway lounges
Fuel earns no reward points
3.49% forex markup makes it unsuitable for international use
