IDFC FIRST Wealth Credit Card
A lifetime-free Visa Infinite card that punches well above its zero fee — zero forex markup, airport lounges, quarterly golf and ₹1 crore air accident cover — but the very high income bar puts it out of reach for most applicants. Quarterly golf and each of the four lounge visit types (domestic, international, and railway) only unlock once the prior month or quarter's spend clears roughly ₹20,000, so a quiet spending month can knock out that quarter's perks entirely. On top of the lounge and golf access, the card layers in up to two discounted movie tickets a month through the District app and wellness-outlet discounts, none of which are typical at a genuinely fee-free tier.
