- People whose normal usage can recover the annual fee through relevant benefits.
Key strengths
- 5 EDGE Miles per ₹100 on eligible airline, hotel and Travel EDGE spends.
- Silver, Gold and Platinum tiers have different lounge and milestone benefits.
Trade-offs to understand
- 2 EDGE Miles per ₹100 on other eligible purchases; travel category caps and exclusions apply.
- Partner transfers have programme limits; EDGE Miles are not universal airline miles.
- The ₹5,000 annual fee plus GST needs to be justified by benefits you will actually use.
CardIQ verdict
Shortlist it only if you can repeatedly use the premium benefits and comfortably recover the fee. Pay particular attention to this condition: 2 EDGE Miles per ₹100 on other eligible purchases; travel category caps and exclusions apply.
