Question 1

Which is the best credit card in India overall?

Accepted Answer

There is no single best card — it depends on your spending habits, income, and lifestyle. Frequent travellers benefit most from premium travel cards; everyday spenders may prefer cashback cards; first-time users should start with a no-fee card.

Question 2

How do I choose the right credit card for my lifestyle?

Accepted Answer

Start by identifying where you spend most: travel, dining, fuel, online shopping, or groceries. Then look for a card with the highest rewards in those categories. Factor in the annual fee versus expected rewards value to ensure the card makes financial sense for you.

Question 3

What credit score do I need to get approved for a credit card in India?

Accepted Answer

Most standard credit cards require a CIBIL score of 700+. Premium credit cards typically require 750+. If you're new to credit, consider starting with a secured card or a card specifically designed for first-time applicants.

Question 4

Is it a good idea to have multiple credit cards?

Accepted Answer

Multiple credit cards can help maximise rewards across different spending categories but require disciplined management to avoid missed payments. Having 2–3 cards from different networks (Visa, Mastercard, Amex) is generally manageable and can improve your credit score over time if managed responsibly.

Question 5

How does CreditGully rank and rate credit cards?

Accepted Answer

CreditGully rates credit cards on reward rate, annual fee value, welcome bonus, lounge access, supplementary features, and issuer reputation. Rankings are editorial — issuers do not pay for higher placement. Rankings are reviewed and updated regularly to reflect current offers.
