The Credit Cards that you don't carry in your wallet

I havent carried wallets in almost a decade. I came back to India after living 4 years in Australia in 2013 and never wanted to carry wallets. We didnt have Tap to Pay yet in 2013 so I was 1 of the earliest adopters of Paytm and I have emailed Vijay shekhar sharma way back then and he probably replied too.

Of ocurse now we have samsung Pay on phones, watches (I have 2 samsung S21Fes, both Exynos and SD888 and a Galaxy watch 4) and Cred, Paytm and Gpay (SBI cards app & ICICI bank app too) all support Tap to Pay for some cards (i use 2 pixels too). The latest addition has been Payzapp so I do not see any need to carry wallet except for when I travel and want to use them for lounges. I have HDFC DCB so it cannot be added in any wallet yet.

true... with the advent of Rupay cards, even UPI payments are simple (given that Card payment mode is not blocked by the merchant)....
but sometimes restaurants give extra discounts at certain cards... so a couple of cards are not so bad

I carry my best offline cards from each card network ordered in the following sequence:

1. Amex Platinum Travel
2. SBI Vistara Prime (Mastercard)
3. HDFC Infinia (Visa)
4. HDFC Tata Neu Infinite (RuPay)

Plan is to replace #1 with MRCC once Plat Travel milestones are achieved, and remove #2 altogether after Vistara milestones are achieved.

Shouldn’t come as a surprise that #2 gets pulled out the most.

IDFC Wealth. A "premium" card that offers just 0.75% return on offline spends!

PS- I carry it during international travel for cash withdrawal and low forex markup.
