    I am planning to buy a car soon, and for this i want to use a credit card for a down payment to maximize cashback and benefits. So suggest a credit card that allows simple EMI for big purchases. Is there any credit card available that gives me all the benefits?

    What's the best way to pay my credit card bills (ICICI Rubyx, Axis My Zone CC) using my existing debit cards (HDFC Rewards, HDFC Moneyback, ICICI Amazon Pay)? I have accounts in HDFC and PNB .

    Thanks

    Go with the HDFC Diners Club credit card:

    It is a reward card that you can redeem while booking flights and hotel stays (upto 10X rewards).

    Provides national and international lounge access.

    Provides travel insurance coverage.

    Experience amazing dining benefits.

    As you mentioned, you are earning well, so you can easily get the high credit card limits. As credit card limits mostly depend on your income.

    Does its 1:1 transfer to over 20 partners and lounge perks based on spending make it better than Atlas, even with the high milestone demands?

    Key Features & Fees

    The annual fee is ₹12,500 plus GST, but here’s the good part: you can waive that fee if you spend ₹10 lakhs in a year.

    The card offers great rewards, plenty of lounge access, and a low foreign transaction fee of just 2% plus GST.

    When you sign up, you receive 12,500 reward points and a free Club Marriott membership for the first year.

    A solid credit history is essential as well, along with a spending requirement of ₹8 lakhs on any existing HDFC credit card over the past six months.

    Starting February 2025, you’ll also be able to obtain the card based on your banking relationship value: ₹5 crore if you’re part of the Infinia program or ₹2.5 crore for the Imperia account, provided you’ve been in these programs for at least three months.

    Benefits & Rewards

    One of the best perks is unlimited lounge access for both you and your add-on cardholders, whether it’s for domestic or international travel.

    You also receive a free night at ITC Hotels when you book two nights.

    India has uneven acceptance of Amex cards, and UPI is very popular. Is it really worth looking for transfer partners? Are the point benefits of a premium card worth the hassle of needing a backup Visa for local shopping?
