First credit card recommendations for fresh graduate?

by loungelover 2d ago 506 views 7 replies

Hi everyone! I just started my first job (IT, ₹6 LPA).

I have no credit history and looking to get my first card. What would you recommend?

My monthly expenses:

  • Rent: ₹12,000
  • Food/dining: ₹8,000
  • Shopping: ₹5,000
  • Others: ₹3,000
  • Should I go for a secured card or try for entry-level cards?

    Congratulations on the job! Start with Amazon Pay ICICI - easy approval and great cashback.

    SBI SimplyCLICK is another good option. No joining fee and decent rewards.

    At 6 LPA, you should be able to get most entry-level cards. HDFC Millennia is good too.

    Pro tip: Don't apply to multiple cards at once. Space them out by 3-6 months.

    I started with Amazon Pay ICICI too. Great first card. After 6 months, got Flipkart Axis.

    Whatever you do, always pay full amount before due date. Building good credit history is crucial!

    Also look into IDFC First Select - lifetime free and good benefits.
