YES BANK BYOC Credit Card

YES Bank's build-your-own card, priced as a monthly subscription instead of an annual fee. You pick the card material, a perk (1% unlimited cashback at ₹99/month or reward points at ₹49/month) and, optionally, a merchant plan with 10% cashback at Swiggy, Uber, BigBasket and others. Fee and perks can change month to month, but the fees add up: the cashback perk alone costs ₹1,188 + GST a year.
