I use credit cards for all my expenses for making the best of reward points. I earn around ~Rs.30,000-60,000 a year on reward points
As the Indian middle-class, every rupee reward counts in saving more
Below is the thread of some cards that I use for my expenses 🧵

Key things to consider:
- FREE CARDS - I prefer only free cards & never paid a single rupee as membership fee for any of my cards
- CREDIT as DEBIT - I use my credit card like debit card, spend and pay immediately
- TRACK OFFERS - Credit cards have specific offers, track them

Key points to note
- Credit cards are not for cash. Never take loan of credit cards, life will get screwed
- Switch between cards wisely for more points
- Dont apply for too many cards- Impacts CIBIL
- Dont spend more than 10% of limit- impacts CIBIL
Are these the best cards ever ?? I don’t know.
These are just the cards I use, there might be other cards which I don’t know off
I don’t promote any of these products nor I have partnerships.

I also use the the Amazon ICICI card with prime account for 5% cashback on all Amazon purchases.
This has become a bit useless after getting the SBI Cashback card as SBI card offers 10% discount (in offers) + 5% cashback to card. Amazon offers only 5% +5% to Amazon pay
Finally, I used CRED for all my credit card bill payments.
Earned around 40K using CRED payments.
