Expert Verdict

The Kotak IndiGo Ka-ching 6E Rewards XL is a co-branded airline card that pays off well for loyal IndiGo flyers, with 6% on bookings, free 6E Prime add-ons and 8 domestic lounges against a modest Rs.2,500 fee. Its value collapses for non-IndiGo or international use given the locked rewards and 3.5% forex markup.
