Rewards

Reward-point earners that let you stack points on everyday and accelerated spends.

Data as of 5 September 2026

Rewards cards earn points on every spend, then layer accelerated rates on categories you choose — dining, fuel, shopping, travel. FinWiz24 currently tracks 76 active rewards cards from AU Small Finance Bank, American Express, Axis Bank and others. Annual fees on this list range from 0, with 20 lifetime-free options. Top reward rates hit 12x on the issuer's accelerated category, with waived-fee versions sitting alongside paid options for readers who would rather not clear a spend threshold. Every card below links to a full review with the issuer's latest fee schedule, reward table, and eligibility criteria, so you can match the card to your spend pattern instead of taking the headline rate at face value. Pick the lineup that overlaps with where you actually spend — fuel, dining, travel, online, or EMI — and verify the eligibility bar before you apply, since minimum income and credit-score requirements differ across issuers. Eligible readers can apply directly through the issuer's site when they are ready.

How to pick a rewards card

We currently track 76 rewards cards. The lineup mixes premium, value, and lifetime-free options across India's major issuers. Compare the annual fee against the reward earn on your highest spend, check the eligibility bar on each card page, and prefer lifetime-free options when the fee exceeds a year of expected rewards.

Frequently asked questions

FinWiz24 tracks 76 active rewards cards across Indian issuers. The best card depends on your top spend category and whether you prefer lifetime-free terms or premium rewards. Use the category filter on /credit-cards/ to compare all options side-by-side.

Are rewards credit cards lifetime-free?

Some rewards cards are lifetime-free with no annual or joining fee. Others carry an annual fee that is usually waivable on minimum annual spends. Check each card's fee tile on its detail page before applying.

What credit score do I need for a rewards card?

Credit score requirements vary by card and issuer. Entry-level rewards cards typically require a CIBIL score of 700 or above. Premium cards may require 750+. Each card's eligibility section on its detail page publishes the minimum score where known.

What is the minimum income for a rewards credit card?

Income thresholds vary by issuer and card tier. Entry-level cards typically require ₹3–5 lakh per year; premium rewards cards may require ₹10–25 lakh per year. Self-employed applicants usually face a higher bar. Check the eligibility tile on each card's page.

How do I choose the right rewards credit card?

Identify your primary spend in the rewards category, then compare the annual fee against the expected reward earn. Prefer lifetime-free cards if your annual spend would not clear the fee-waiver threshold on a paid card. Use the Compare tool at /compare-credit-cards/ to run a side-by-side analysis.
