Expert Insights
Redemption matters most
A lower headline earn rate can still win if transfer partners and redemption flexibility are materially better.
Premium is only worth it with usage
Cards with high annual fees make sense only when lounge, forex, and travel credits are actually used through the year.

FAQ
Common Questions About Travel Cards
What is the difference between a travel card and a co-branded airline card?
Generic travel cards (like HDFC Diners Club) earn points that can be transferred to multiple airlines or hotels. Co-branded cards (like Axis Vistara or SBI Air India) earn points directly in one specific airline's loyalty program, often offering higher rewards for that specific carrier.
Do travel credit cards provide international lounge access?
Yes, but it depends on the network. Diners Club and American Express cards often have their own lounge networks, while Visa and Mastercard cards usually provide international access via Priority Pass or DragonPass memberships included with the card.
