Ranked by real value back, not headline reward points. Points are converted at each programme's realistic redemption value, so a card earning ten points per hundred rupees at ₹0.25 a point loses to one earning three at ₹1.
On rent, the American Express Platinum Charge currently leads at 2.5% value back.
| # | Card | Value back | Detail |

| 2 | American Express Platinum Travel | 2% | |
| 3 | American Express Gold Charge | 2% |
Most accelerated rates stop at a monthly or annual spend cap and drop to a base rate afterwards. A card that looks best on paper can lose over a full year of spending. The calculator handles that automatically once you enter your amount.
