Common Questions

How many credit card changes did banks make in 2023?

We recorded 21 changes to 17 cards from 7 banks. 43% of them took something away from cardholders.

What counts as a cut?

A change that leaves the cardholder worse off: a higher fee, a lower reward rate, a benefit removed or made harder to get (for example lounge access that now needs a minimum spend). Launches, network changes and neutral rewordings are not counted as cuts.

Where does the data come from?

From CardAdvisor's India credit card facts dataset, checked against the bank's own notice wherever one is linked. Each change on our changes pages links to its source.
