AU Bank Xcite Credit Card

The AU Bank Xcite Credit Card is a great option for those looking to upgrade their basic credit card. It is lifetime free with no joining or renewal fees. You can earn up to 15 Reward Points per ₹100 spent on dining, movies, groceries, and department stores, and 2 points per ₹100 on other retail purchases. Extra perks include two free railway lounge visits per quarter, device protection, and extended warranty on electronics. However, it does not offer rewards on fuel and wallet transactions and has higher foreign currency fees.

AU Small Finance Bank’s Swipe Up platform allows anyone with a credit card to upgrade, not just AU Bank customers. It offers three cards: Xcite, Xcite Ace, and Xcite Ultra. Xcite is the most basic but still provides good rewards and benefits. If you want more premium features, you can check out the Xcite Ace and Xcite Ultra Cards.
