Final Thoughts:
This pretty straight forward card can be for no-frills spender as this doesn’t have a minimum spend requirement and no cashback cap. However, I personally would opt for DCS Ultimate Platinum Card as one of the highest no minimum spend general cashback cards in the market right now.
💳 Credit cards change their T&Cs every so often and it is difficult to stay updated. That’s why I created a Telegram Broadcast where you can receive timely bite-sized updates to get the most out of your spending.
