If you’ve read premium, credit, concierge, lowest rates, etc in one article then probably you’ve read about a high-end credit card. And what’s better than the YES First Preferred Credit Card? Well, as a bank that’s trying to conquer the market for itself, Yes Bank has come up with a high-end premium credit card i.e. Yes Preferred Card which brings all premium services and rewards together at a very reasonable annual fee.
This card is loaded with unique rewards, it feels luxurious and it looks really pretty (if that counts). Let’s look at the different features of this card.
It Comes With No Annual Fees
Of course, there is an annual fee of Rs.2500 but let’s look at it this way. So, as a welcome offer, you get 15000 Reward Points which equals Rs.3750 (1 RP=0.25) which is actually Rs.1250 more than the annual fees. So is it wrong to say that you are actually earning Rs.1250 rather than spending Rs.2500?
Also, you get 10000 renewal points every year which is equal to Rs.2500 which effectively cancels out the annual fee every year. Can you name any other credit card that has absolutely no annual fees from the very first year?

Final Pros and Cons
Pros: This card comes with a lot of unique features, low-interest rates, the lowest foreign currency markup, and a lot of other exclusive benefits. Everything under one basket and that too at a reasonable price. If you want to get a credit card then right now I think this is the best one in the Indian market.
Cons: With so many pros, there’s just one con this card is available only for a particular section of people who have higher ITR. I am pretty sure there are many people who would want to enjoy the benefits of this card but can’t due to a lower ITR. But for everyone with ITR>18 Lacs, this card comes with lots of pros and probably no cons.
