In all these credit card comparisons, no one mentions about one of the best fuel card.. that’s HDFC Bharat card.. it gives 5% cash back for fuel in all outlets.. very good for beginners.. Annual fee waived with 20k spends..

Few catches.

1. 5% capped at 150 per month. So, usable for only 3k fuel per month.
2. You can redeem cashback only after accumulation of 2.5k which will take more than a year.
