The Best Credit Card, Points & Miles Podcast in India
What the podcast covers
The Great Indian Points & Miles Show is the only long-form Indian podcast dedicated entirely to credit cards, points, miles and premium travel. New episodes drop every week on YouTube and short-form cuts on Instagram. Episodes fall into four buckets:
- Card deep-dives. Honest, multi-hour reviews of HDFC Infinia, Axis Magnus Burgundy, Burgundy Private, Axis Atlas, Amex Platinum Charge, ICICI Emeralde Private, HSBC Premier and the rest of the Indian premium stack.
- Redemption playbooks. How to actually book Singapore Suites with KrisFlyer, Qatar QSuites with Avios, and Air India First with Aeroplan, starting from Indian credit cards.
- Practitioner interviews. Sit-downs with India's most accomplished points hobbyists, founders and frequent flyers: the people who have flown 50+ business class segments on points.
- Industry and policy. What changed at HDFC, what the new transfer ratios mean, and how Indian premium-card portfolios should respond.
Format and where to watch
The podcast is YouTube-first. Each episode runs 45 to 120 minutes, filmed in the same long-form sit-down format that has made Raj Shamani's Figuring Out and Ranveer Allahbadia's BeerBiceps the most-watched Indian podcasts. Short-form cuts of every episode are published on Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.
