Kotak and Myntra have come together to launch the first Myntra co-branded credit card. The Myntra Kotak credit card offers excellent rewards on Myntra. We also get milestone benefits and accelerated cashback on preferred partners. So, this is a compelling credit card if you spend a lot on Myntra – one of the largest online fashion retailers in India. The Myntra Kotak credit card comes in Rupay Select and Mastercard variants. So, you can also get the Rupay variant to use it for UPI spending. Here is a detailed review of the card.
Fees & Charges
| Joining Fees | Rs 500+GST |
| Welcome Benefit | Rs 500 Myntra GV |
| Annual Fees | Rs 500+GST |
| Annual Fee Waiver | Rs 2 Lakh spend in a membership year |
The fees and waiver are in line with the existing Flipkart Axis Bank credit card which offers 5% cashback on Myntra. But the Myntra Kotak credit cards up the cashback for the same fee. For the welcome benefit, complete 1 transaction worth Rs 500 or more within 30 days of card issuance.
Rewards
| Type of Spend | Rewards | Cap |
|---|---|---|
| Myntra | 7.5% instant discount | Maximum discount Rs 750 per transaction |
| Preferred Partners (Swiggy, Swiggy Instamart, PVR, Cleartrip, Urban Company) | 5% cashback | Maximum cashback of Rs 1000 per statement cycle |
| Other Spends | 1.25% | None |
| UPI spends above Rs 2000 (only Rupay variant) | 1.25% | |
| Rent Payment, Fuel Spends, Wallet and EMI Transactions, UPI spends below Rs 2000 | 0% |
The 7.5% instant discount is nice and much better than getting cashback after the transaction. It is also more than the 5% that the Flipkart Axis credit cards offer on Myntra.
