Summary: Before choosing the best Credit Card for online shopping, compare various cards for their discounts and offers. Also, the shopping card you choose should have low-interest rates, security, zero annual fees, cash back, price protection and insurance
In this digital age, shopping online from the comfort of your home using a shopping card is easier than going to a physical store. A news report says that Credit Card spending in India has increased by 25.87% and reached Rs 1.3 lakh crore in 2023.
With a quality Credit Card, you can buy from groceries to gadgets online and receive attractive rewards, discounts and offers. In this post, we will discuss choosing the best Credit Card for online shopping.
Here are the key points to consider before deciding on the best shopping Credit Card -
Research and compare Credit Card offers
For card shopping, compare the rewards, discounts and offers of various credit cards and how useful they are considering your lifestyle and habits. Then decide which Credit Card can offer you the best utility.
Cashback is an incentive that you will get when shopping. The Credit Card cashback benefit will allow you to receive a percentage of your spending (generally 0.25-5%).
IDFC FIRST Bank Credit Cards offer up to 5% cashback on the first EMI transaction made within the first 30 days.
During the festive season, a shopping card can get you seasonal promotional offers and make buying big-ticket items easy on your pocket. For example, IDFC FIRST Bank Credit Cards offer attractive gift vouchers to top spenders for festival shopping.
Discounts on a shopping card are another key consideration. Various credit cards offer discounts on purchases, dining at restaurants, movie tickets, and spas. For example, you can get free movie tickets with the ‘Buy-1-Get-1-Free’ offer on FIRST Select and FIRST Wealth Credit Cards.
Before getting a Credit Card, check if the bank offers quick, secure and easy payment options and charges no transaction fees. You should also be able to make payments using a mobile app.
If a Credit Card provides price protection, it will reimburse you the price difference if the product is later available at a lower price.
Some Credit Cards also offer insurance on your purchases for a specific period. You can optimise these two features by choosing the right Credit Card.
When applying for a shopping card, check if the bank provides encryption for robust Credit Card security. Also, look for credit cards with the Europay MasterCard and Visa (EMV) chip. This technology prevents malpractices, such as cloning or skimming of Credit Cards.
When choosing the best Credit Card for online shopping, besides rewards, discounts and cashback, you should also consider how it can help with your budgeting. Using a Credit Card responsibly can build a positive credit history and probably save you money on your next purchase.
Considering the above features, some ideal shopping cards that can cater to your online shopping needs and lifestyle are FIRST Millennia Credit Card, FIRST Private Credit Card, FIRST Select Credit Card, FIRST Classic Credit Card, FIRST Wealth Credit Card and FIRST WOW! Credit Card.
