What we like
+Lifetime free with zero forex markup on all international transactions, a standout for a no-fee travel card.
+Strong base earn of 10 Scapia Coins per Rs.100, doubling to 20 Coins per Rs.100 (2x) on travel booked via the Scapia app with no monthly cap.

International spends earn no Scapia Coins despite the zero forex markup.
No lounge or rewards value unless the Rs.20,000 monthly spend condition is met.

Welcome Offer

Welcome Benefit

No standard, bank-published welcome bonus was found as of 2026 -- the card's headline acquisition benefit is its lifetime-free (zero joining/annual fee) status. Various referral programs (via Scapia app referral links / TechnoFino / blogs) advertise ~1,000 Scapia Coins (~Rs.200 value) or a Rs.1,000 flight voucher credited after the new cardholder's first transaction, but these are time-limited marketing/referral promotions rather than a fixed official welcome offer, and terms vary by promotion period.
