OneCard is India's most design-forward metal credit card — issued via app in 48 hours, built on a ₹0 annual fee structure. It dynamically awards 5X reward points on your top two spend categories each billing cycle, making it the most intelligent category optimiser in the market. Mohit's top categories are Amazon and Swiggy: both earn 5X automatically without any configuration.
Who is this for?
For tech-savvy professionals who want a metal card with a smart rewards engine. The dynamic 5X on top 2 categories means you never have to think about which card to use — OneCard figures it out. Best if you spend ₹30,000+/month and your top categories are not in the 5% zone of any other card.
