In the last few years, India has embraced plastic money and digital payments at quite a fast pace. Today, more people also have credit cards than earlier. However, people are still wary when it comes to using a credit card. This is mostly because people are unaware of the benefits you get by using a credit card.
If used wisely, a credit card gives you way more than the amount you end up paying as the joining fee or the annual fee. And using it wisely doesn't just involve paying your bills in full and on time. To help you understand just how to go about making the most of your card, here's how you can maximise the benefits on your card.

Choose the Right Card
Maximising benefits all starts with using the right card. This doesn't mean that a credit card issued by one bank is better than that issued by another. What it means is that the card you ultimately choose should complement your spending pattern. This is the best way to earn as many rewards points as possible or the highest cashback.
For instance, if you spend a major part of your monthly income on online shopping, consider a credit card which lets you earn the most on these spends. This means that a card which rewards grocery spends made at grocery stores more than it does online shopping isn't the right card for you.
If you have one card, this is the way to go. But if you have multiple cards, use each card to spend on categories they are best suited to. So, if you are buying groceries, use a card that rewards grocery spends and if you are dining, use a card that rewards dining expenditure.
Use Your Card
It's all well and good to own a credit card or two, but it is of no use if you decide to use them occasionally. To truly maximise the benefits on your credit card, you should use it often and preferably for all your spending.
This means that you shouldn't use your card just for the occasional purchase, but use it to pay utility bills, your online subscriptions, your food orders, and the like. This will benefit you in two ways. One, each transaction gives you that many more opportunities to earn points, air miles, or cashback. More points mean that you can redeem them that much faster. Similarly, with air miles and cashback. All of these rewards can be earned much faster when you use your card on a daily basis.
