American Express
A Charge Card with genuinely no revolving interest — the full statement balance is due each cycle, backed by a 5%-of-unpaid-balance Delinquency Fee (minimum ₹300/month) instead of an APR — at a ₹66,000 annual fee with no stated waiver and no cap on lounge visits.

Milestone rewards
No flat ₹-per-point redemption rate is published anywhere; the one concrete data point found (a Taj Experiences gift card) implies roughly ₹0.40-0.50/point depending on the "25% more value" promotional framing, but this is not a reliable statement-credit floor. Also includes RewardXcelerator ("up to 20X Rewards" on select luxury brands) and Shopwise ("up to 5X rewards" on 200+ brands) — both promotional accelerators too vague on category to model as structured rules. Fine Hotels & Resorts membership adds an average ₹44,300 of value (room upgrade, breakfast for two, late check-out) across 1,300+ properties worldwide.
"1,550+ Airport Lounges across 140 countries" — includes The Centurion Lounge, Priority Pass, Delta Sky Club, and India domestic partner lounges, with no stated annual visit cap.

ICICI Bank
A lifetime-free card that pays its best rate on Amazon. Worth holding for Amazon spend; unremarkable elsewhere, and you cannot simply apply for it.
ICICI Bank
An entry-level card whose real value is the lounge and cinema benefits, not the rewards. The reward points earn into a goods catalogue with no published rupee value, so treat the rate as unknown rather than as cashback.
ICICI Bank
A no-fee starter card. Earns the same catalogue points as Coral but without the lounge, cinema or milestone benefits, so the fee saving is most of what distinguishes it.
