Second card to complement Infinia

[sd.ac]

I have an Infinia which I use for most spends (online, offline & Gyftr vouchers). For the offline part - including school fees etc - I am thinking of adding a second card, one focused on travel rewards. I am confused between the Axis Atlas and Amex Plat travel (when Amex re-opens). My confusion is because I don't have travel planned so the destination, hotel and airline is unclear. Which of these two would you recommend? Am I stuck with Accor vs Marriott with these choices?

(my spends in a calendar year are around 10-12L or 15L at most so I don't want to look at cards like the Burgundy Magnus or the Amex Platinum Charge).

Thank you

Amex plat travel, icici epm or now new buzz on HSBC cards. Axis horizon can also be considered instead of Atlas and both can be compared based on your usage.

You can also consider EPM and HSBC premier. Accor is better than MB in my opinion

Is hsbc premier card open for all or it is just for HSBC Premier account holders?

For premier account holders its LTF as long as you maintain the status for others it is a paid card

OK. Thank you. Then this card can also be considered with their new rewards partner and redemption partners.

You can also consider HDFC Marriot bonvoy card+ Amex Plat travel. HDFC will give you 1 night free(upto 15k points)+silver status. Transfer amex points to marriott for best value.

I think OP is looking for cards that have a more than 3.33% return on offline spends and education spends etc.

EPM and HSBC premier is 3% return.

Atlas or Amex Platinum could be better.
