On sale, but not priced 77 cards

On sale today, some by invitation only, but their banks have not published an annual fee or an earn rate, so there is no honest figure to rank them on.

How we rank

Every travel card you can be issued today, priced at ₹1.5 lakh a month — the middle of your range, ₹1–2 lakh — on a typical Indian spending mix: each card's own published earn rate on each kind of spend, plus its milestone and bonus payouts, minus the annual fee unless that spend waives it. Cards our own verdict says to keep come first, then downgrade, then cancel; inside each, the higher yearly value ranks higher, and a tie goes to our overall ranking. The order uses the same figures with these corrections, so a card cannot lead on money a reader rarely collects: fixed rupee vouchers count at half their face value, while a free night paid in the card’s own points counts in full, like any other points; points that are only worth their full value inside one app count at what they fetch anywhere else; a reward tier the issuer calls promotional does not count, and a base rate the issuer time-boxes counts only at the rate it publishes for afterwards, or not at all; each card’s published bonus category counts on a realistic share of spend; a card offered only by invitation from the bank’s own clients, or only to one profession, never ranks first, and below ₹1 lakh a month stays out of the top five; and a card the bank keeps only above a yearly spend it publishes ranks below every card without that bar when your spend falls short of it. 77 cards on sale today are not priced at all, because their bank has not published a fee or an earn rate.

Every figure comes from each card's own published fee and earn rate. How we value cards.
