The IDFC FIRST Wealth Credit Card is a lifetime-free super-premium card with 10X reward points on every spend (no category restriction), 3X on EMI purchases, 1% fuel surcharge waiver, 4 free ATM cash withdrawals per month, and 2 domestic + 1 international lounge visit per year. The card is targeted at high-net-worth individuals who want a no-fee card with the highest flat-rate rewards.

Why this matters

IDFC FIRST Wealth is the highest-reward lifetime-free card in India. The 10X on all categories with no restriction is unmatched — even premium paid cards don't offer 10X on all categories. If you spend ₹1 lakh/month, the 10X gives you 10,000 points/month, redeemable for ₹10,000 in cashback. The 2+1 lounge visits are a useful secondary benefit.
