What stands out

  • ✓ 6% myCash on eligible MakeMyTrip hotels and 3% on flights, buses and cabs
  • ✓ 1% myCash on other eligible retail spend with no expiry
  • ✓ Dual Mastercard and RuPay issuance with merchant-UPI support
  • ✓ Two domestic lounge visits quarterly, one international yearly and 0.99% forex markup

What to watch

myCash is spendable only through MakeMyTrip and cannot be transferred to a bank account. Domestic lounge and movie offers require preceding-quarter spend, and the renewal waiver needs ₹3 lakh annually.

How GainFair evaluates this card

The personal card advisor applies your monthly spending to category rates, limits rewards at the applicable caps, adds eligible movie, milestone and lounge value, and subtracts annual fees plus foreign-currency markup and GST. It can recommend keeping your current cards when a new card does not create enough incremental value.
