Our Expert Take

IDFC FIRST Mayura's strongest features are structural rather than promotional: zero forex markup, 16 complimentary international lounge visits a year, and a 10X reward multiplier that kicks in once you cross ₹20,000 in monthly spend. It's a solid pick for frequent international travelers who spend consistently rather than in bursts.
