Debit Cards

Both cards offer verity of benefits and have almost the same features. But I would suggest the HDFC Platinum Debit Card to you. As this card gives you more rewards points and have high transaction limits. This is a perfect card for you.

You seem right as Platinum International debit card works for that. I have done the same and have the same experience. All you should know is about charges; i.e. cost may include Issuance fee, annual maintenance fee etc. Also for overseas cash withdrawals, they charge Rs 100 with 3.5% + GST of the transaction amount.

That's very strange. There have also been reports of surcharges applied to debit card purchases of fuel. It's important to review the Axis Bank's conditions. Have a word with customer care and ask for the clarification or a refund.
