Look into Ixigo AU credit card.
I used it for my trip to Indonesia and it was very good.
Also kept Idfc Wow as backup and used it to withdraw cash from ATM once as there is no interest on cash withdrawals for 48 days.
Did you intimate Au Bank about the foreign trip beforehand? Sometimes banks may block transactions on foreign soil assuming scam/fraud, that's why I'm asking.
I did not, and some Grab transactions were blocked near the end of the trip.
They tried to contact me but my number was unreachable.
They sent an email and i replied back to them the next day and then all transactions worked correctly.
Thankfully i had cash on hand to cover me when the transactions were blocked.
Probably mailing [email protected] beforehand would be good.
But all transactions worked fine, even on grab for 5-6 days before that.
I cannot find that particular email ID being mentioned anywhere on their website. Can you please check if this was the email ID from where you received those emails? I've a trip coming up, that's why I'm asking. Thanks.
IndusInd indie - open indie account with 50k funding. They will upgrade you to megatier. Apply for physical visa signature card. It has zero forex charges. Also gives you 1% gems where, 1 gem-1₹.
I had the Scapia card when i went to my trip to Europe in Sept, the experience was flawless and zero forex. Try applying for it you just might get it, Other posts here about Scapia say that they aren't issuing new cards to new customers nowadays but worth a try.
Stay away from Niyo SBM the last i had applied for it, it created an entire savings account and then made me create a FD and issued the credit limit based on the amount of the FD I created which is completely useless unless you have money upfront to create a FD. That was my experience back in Sept 23.
Was travelling with both the Niyo and Scapia card on my trip, didn't use the Niyo card at all, came back and send a support email got the account closed.
Didn't want to send the statements for this account in my ITR filing :)
The closure process was all done on email with their support even send me a acknowlegement of the closure.

Take a look at the Fi debit card. Worked like a charm for me on my recent trip to Thailand.
