Our verdict

Pros & cons

An honest read on where this card earns its keep — and where it doesn't.

What we like

  • India's first fully customizable credit card where you only pay for the specific features you want

  • The base card is genuinely lifetime free with no hidden annual renewal fees

  • Flexible 90-day feature packs allow adapting the card's benefits to your changing spending habits

  • High potential value if feature packs are carefully matched with targeted category spending

What to watch out for

  • The base reward rate without any packs active is extremely low (0.25% value)

  • Unused paid features auto-renew every 90 days, which can drain money if you forget to switch them off

  • Complicated modular structure requires active management via the mobile app to ensure you break even on pack costs

  • High foreign currency markup of 3.49% makes it unsuitable for international usage
