Something about Metal Credit card

Metal credit card is sleek, sturdy, and still relatively rare in comparison to plastic cards. Normally it’s only an invitation basis credit card, and it’s more durable. American Express Centurion Card is the longest-lived existing metal card.

Joining & Renewal Fees

Types	Amount
Joining Fees/Renewal Fees	Nil
Welcome Gift	Nil

This is a lifetime free credit card, so no joining fees or annual/renewal fees.

Benefits and Features

Types	Rewards	Rewards Rate
Regular Rewards	1 RP/ Rs.50	0.20%
Accelerated Reward	1 RP/ Rs.50	1%
Rewards Points value	1 Reward point = 0.10 paisa

Note:  5X points are available on all Category whether it’s dinning, Travel, or Fuel. I think only this credit which comes with 5X rewards points on even fuel transaction.

Most Credit cards do not give rewards points on Utility Bill, Fuels, and Insurance payments, but here are exceptions. OneCard credit gives rewards points on all category expenses.

Note : Reward points will not be credited on transfers, wallet loads, and cash withdrawals

Lowest Forex Mark Fees

This credit card has the lowest forex mark fees for making any transaction. It also offers 1% fees on forex transactions abroad or Foreign expenses. I am a frequent traveler and have used several cards. Being a metal card, OneCard is definitely the best option if you are looking for a free credit card with low forex mark fees.

Other Benefits

• Its Metal Credit card, normally Metal credit is not issued.
• OneCard is issued with the VISA network.
• ·Points are issued instantly
• Fractional Points
• Slick In-App Points Redemption
• Zero Rewards Redemption Fee
• Points Never Expire

When you spend on your existing credit cards, the reward points are credited after rounding off the amount as per the decided rate. If you a spend of 100 is eligible for 1 point and you spend 225, you get just 2 points, losing out on the remaining, but this credit card is an exception. It also gives fractional points.
