Kotak Mojo Platinum Credit Card

The Kotak Mojo Platinum Credit Card from Kotak Mahindra Bank is made for people who want a good mix of travel benefits, reward points, and extra bonuses. Every time you use the card, you earn Mojo Points that you can use for shopping, travel, or even to pay your credit card bill. It offers more rewards on online shopping and gives free access to domestic airport lounges, which is great for frequent travelers. You also get waivers on fuel and railway surcharges, helping you save more. The card has a joining fee of ₹1,000, which is fair considering the benefits it provides.

However, while the card gives decent value, its rewards rate is only around 1% on online spends, which is less compared to some other cards like the Amazon Pay ICICI or IDFC FIRST Millennia, which are either free or have a low fee. You can earn extra rewards like ₹1,000 gift vouchers every quarter, but only in the first year. Still, with savings on travel and spending, and benefits like fee waivers, this card is a good option for those who shop online and travel within India often.
