What it's worth to you, after the fee

Not valued. We can't value this card until the issuer publishes how it earns — every net-value number here would be a fee subtracted from rewards nobody has described. Everything we can source — the fee, the charges, the migration that put this card in your hand — is above and stands on its own; this card is simply not on the board, not in the calculator, and cannot win a best-of call until Bank of India publishes terms we can cite.

Why #663 Twice the fee of BOI's Visa Platinum for half the lounge quota and no streaming bundle — the weakest rung on Bank of India's own shelf.

The take

Compare this one against its own shelf and it falls over. Bank of India charges ₹1,000 a year for the Mastercard Platinum and gives you one complimentary domestic airport lounge visit a quarter — four a year. Its Visa Platinum costs ₹500, gives you the same four airport visits, and adds four railway lounge visits and a streaming bundle on top. The RuPay Bharat Platinum costs ₹400 and adds two international lounge visits and a quarterly voucher book. Nothing on this card's page justifies the gap: no international lounge access, no memberships, no vouchers, no insurance line, and the same unpriced reward multiplier every BOI card carries. It is a perfectly functional Mastercard with worldwide acceptance and a lounge visit a quarter — just the most expensive way Bank of India sells that.

Keep, downgrade or cancel

what we can and cannot price

Not valued. We can't value this card until the issuer publishes how it earns — every net-value number here would be a fee subtracted from rewards nobody has described. A break-even is the spend at which value crosses a fee, and we are short one side of that sentence — so this desk prints no ladder, no crossing and no ₹0 standing in for either. What we can source about this card is under Sources.

The downgrade

Bank of India publishes no document naming a card you can step down to, so we name none — an invented product change is a phone call you would waste. That leaves keep or cancel, and we cannot price either side of it.

If you call to cancel

What the bank offers to keep you is the one fact this desk cannot compute. We are collecting those reports — dated, and only in aggregate — before publishing any: an offer one reader was made is not one you are owed. Called about this card? Tell us what they offered →

The desk publishes subscribable .ics feeds for the dates it knows — offer deadlines, devaluations, expiry audits. Your renewal date is not one of them: only your statement knows it.

What's good

  • One complimentary domestic airport lounge visit every quarter — four a year
  • Accepted worldwide, with EMI at point of sale on Worldline-managed terminals
  • Bank of India's foreign-currency conversion charge is 3%, under the 3.5% most Indian issuers charge

Watch out

  • ₹1,000 a year buys four lounge visits; BOI's own Visa Platinum at ₹500 buys those four plus four railway lounge visits
  • No international lounge access, no memberships, no vouchers and no insurance are published for this tier
  • No base earn rate and no point value are published, so the reward side cannot be valued, ranked or compared
  • No spend-based fee waiver, and add-on cards cost ₹500 each
  • BOI's charge schedule also prints a ₹500 DOMESTIC variant of this card that its product page never mentions — check which one you are being sold

What these points actually fly

Bank of India has not published what this card earns, so there are no points here to fly with — not zero points, and not points that go nowhere: nothing stated either way. The moment a benefit sheet exists we will price whatever it names.

The fine print

5 of 7 MITC rows published

What the MITC actually says — the rates, fees and cutoffs the brochure skips.

Redemption fee not published

TWO PRICES, ONE PRODUCT NAME. Row 11: "Issuance & Annual Charges for - Master Platinum International Credit Card- Principal — 1000.00 (International) / 500.00 (Domestic)", row 12 the add-on at 500.00 international / 300.00 domestic. The product page prices only the international variant at ₹1,000 and never mentions a domestic one, so the card file carries ₹1,000 and the ₹500 variant is flagged in its watchOuts — a fee-table row alone is not a product. One complimentary domestic airport lounge visit a quarter, four a year, and no international lounge line at all.
