^The negative figure means at this level of monthly spends, the rewards earned in a year will be worth less than the annual fee.

The Citi Prestige Credit Card gives 2% effective reward on foreign spending and 1% for all other spending.

The Prestige Credit Card has a very high annual fee of ₹20,000, because of which we do not see positive net reward yield with this card even at monthly spending level of ₹1 lacs+.

The Citi Cash Back Credit Card is the best credit card from Citibank India, if you spend less than ₹50,000 on your card each month.

You can earn a net reward yield of 0.9-1.2% on all your spend with this card.

Go for the Citi PremierMiles Credit Card if you spend more than ₹50,000 a month on the card. The PremierMiles gives you a net reward yield of 1.5-1.9% on your total spending.

Our list of the best credit cards in India, at every spending level and from every bank, is here. You can find a detailed discussion of our methodology here.
