Ranked picks for Air India

Banks ranked on their own Air India offers, with their cards on CardChat. Banks with an active deal come first; card network offers are listed after the banks.

How we rank: banks are ranked on their own Air India offers: banks with an Active deal tag right now come first, then order follows each bank's 12-month track record score (see chart below). The orange bar under each bank shows its score relative to the strongest bank here — it isn't a discount percentage. Offers from a card network (Visa, Mastercard, RuPay) apply to any bank's card on that network, so they're listed separately below rather than counted for each bank. Cards listed under each bank are that bank's cards on CardChat, not individually scored.

12-month issuer track record

How consistently each bank and network has run Air India campaigns over the past year — including expired offers. A longer bar means stronger historical coverage.

Bars are scaled relative to the strongest issuer here, not to a fixed percentage — a bar at half the width of the top one means roughly half its track-record score, not half the discount. The number next to each bar reads as, for example, "best 15% · 8 mo": the largest single discount that issuer has offered on Air India in the last 12 months, and the number of those 12 months in which it ran at least one active campaign.
