CARD REVIEW

The Kotak Solitaire Credit Card is clearly positioned as a luxury, invite-only card for high-net-worth individuals. With its strong Air Mile earning on Kotak’s Unbox platform, unlimited global lounge access, and zero forex markup, it’s tailored for avid travelers and affluent users who value premium lifestyle benefits. The upside is huge if you maintain the Solitaire banking relationship — the annual fee is waived for them. But, if you lose that status, the ₹ 25,000+ GST fee is steep, which makes the card very niche. This card offers significant value for its target audience, but it’s not for everyday or average spenders
