Expert Verdict

The IndusInd Nexxt stands out for its on-card LED buttons that switch between credit, points and EMI at the POS, alongside high-value points, strong insurance and monthly movie tickets, with no recurring annual fee. The Rs.10,000 joining fee, flat base earning and lack of free lounges keep it niche.
