AU Bank Zenith+ Credit Card

The AU Bank Zenith+ Metal Credit Card is a premium card designed for frequent travelers and high spenders. It has a joining fee of ₹4,999 and offers a welcome gift of ₹5,000 in luxury brand vouchers or reward points. Cardholders earn 2 reward points per ₹100 on dining, travel, and international spends, while other expenses earn 1 point per ₹100. This makes it beneficial for those who frequently spend in travel-related categories.

The card includes 16 free domestic and international airport lounge visits per year, a complimentary Taj Epicure membership on spending ₹12 lakh annually, free golf rounds, and buy-one-get-one (BOGO) movie tickets via BookMyShow. A key benefit is its low 0.99% forex markup fee, making international transactions more cost-effective. While it has more features than the Zenith Credit Card, its lower reward rate may not appeal to those looking for higher reward earnings.
