IDFC FIRST Wealth Credit Card

The IDFC FIRST Wealth Credit Card is a high-end card with no annual fees, making it a great choice for those who want premium benefits without extra costs. It has low interest rates (0.75% – 3.5%) and a small forex fee of 1.5%, which helps save money on international spending. The card comes with perks like free golf rounds, access to airport lounges worldwide, and insurance coverage of up to Rs. 1 crore for air accidents. You can also enjoy up to two free movie tickets each month. While the reward points are not as valuable as some other premium cards (₹0.25 per point), the overall benefits make up for it.

This card is meant for high-income individuals earning Rs. 36 lakh or more per year, but it remains free for life. A major advantage is that reward points never expire, which is a feature usually found in expensive cards. Over time, some of its original benefits have been reduced, but it is still a good option for those who want premium features without paying annual fees. However, if you are looking for better rewards and don’t mind paying a fee, other cards like HDFC Diners Club Black, HDFC Regalia Gold, and SBI Card Elite might offer more value, with fees between Rs. 2,500 and Rs. 10,000.
