How to pick the right credit card, curb expenses while travelling

Live Mint  

After 2 years of Covid 19, many Indians are finally getting back to travel. Sachin Vasudeva, Associate Director and Head Credit Cards at Paisabazaar.com.said, “Most travel credit cards offer reward points as joining and renewal benefits. It’s therefore important to compare the monetary value of your travel credit card’s joining and renewal benefits and opt for the one having the highest potential of recovering or surpassing your cards’ cost." On the other hand, Axis Vistara Signature Credit Card and Air India SBI Signature credit cards charge 3.5% as mark-up fees. If you like an airline, its co-branded card is a better pick for you than a generic travel card," said Ajay Awtaney, editor, LiveFromALounge.com, a digital platform focusing on Indian credit cards.
