Mumbai Credit Card Insights (2026)
- 74 cards already keep forex markup at or below 3.5%, matching RBI guidance for international spending.
- Lounge access is now standard even on ₹1,000–₹2,000 fee cards thanks to RuPay + UPI issuance. We flag which products still include Priority Pass or DreamFolks after the 2024–25 devaluations.
- Tiered milestone bonuses (₹4L/₹8L) are critical — we highlight cards whose vouchers convert to real Mumbai value (Tata Neu, Amazon, MakeMyTrip).
