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 and Renewal Fees

• Joining Fees/Renewal Fees.     NIL ( Awesome)
• Welcome Gift:                             NIL

Benefits and Features

• Regular Rewards- 1 RP/ Rs.50

• ·Rewards rate is almost up to 2.5%
• Forex Markup Fee: 1% (+GST)

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

Other Benefits

• Its Metal Credit card, normally Metal credit is not issued.

Bottomline

This credit card is not a basic credit card as we have seen from card benefits and features. One Card comes with 5X rewards on accelerated spends and 2% rewards points on all spending. Other than rewards Its has no Joining Fees as well as Renewal Fees.

Other than those benefits, It also does gives rewards points on Insurance, Utility Bill payments, and Fuels spends.

I think this is a great credit card for the beginner as well as who have a premium credit card, This is a must-have credit card for all person. Its goods to have Amazon ICICI Bank credit card but you should also apply for Onecard Credit card.
