How we ranked these cards
We work out what each card pays on ₹1,500 a month at BookMyShow, then take off the renewal fee with GST. We count rewards only up to each limit. We count rewards on that spend only, and assume ₹15,000 a month of other spending when we check whether the fee is waived. Where a card pays a rate of its own at BookMyShow, we use it. We also show the best cards without one, ranked on the same spend. Welcome gifts and lounge visits are left out. What a bank pays us plays no part. Your own result will differ, so try the credit card finder with your spending.
The bank alone decides approval and your credit limit.
Frequently asked questions
Are buy one get one tickets counted in this ranking?
No. We count only reward rates, so compare ticket offers on each card page.
Can a general card beat a BookMyShow card?
On a small spend like tickets, often not. We still show the best general cards for the same spend so you can compare.
*Estimate only, not a promise. We work it out from the bank's published terms and the spending you enter. What you actually get depends on the bank, your transactions and any change in its terms. Fees are before GST.
