Best forex card

Scapia has become my favourite travel credit card, and I’ve been using it for the last 1.5 years. It’s been excellent for forex transactions, with smooth currency conversion and hassle-free international shopping. While I haven’t tried the international lounge access yet, the domestic lounge benefit has worked well every time. The app is intuitive, user-friendly, and managing card limits, transactions, and rewards is effortless. One of the best parts is the rewards program—I even booked a hotel entirely using my points, which saved me a significant amount. Overall, I highly recommend Scapia to anyone who loves travelling. It’s definitely a big thumbs-up for globetrotters!

Avoid If You Expect Customer Support

I was initially happy with the card and used it extensively during my international travel. However, the moment I needed support, the experience became extremely frustrating.

A payment-related issue led to charges being added to my account. I immediately contacted customer support and was informed that the matter would be reviewed. What followed was months of emails, escalations, and repeated follow-ups. Responses took weeks, sometimes months, and I was continuously redirected between teams.

While I was actively following up, additional charges kept getting added to the account. The disputed amount kept increasing, not because I ignored it, but because the issue remained unresolved for an extended period. Despite more than 20 emails, multiple calls, and escalations, I struggled to get clear answers.

The most disappointing part was receiving collection calls and payment reminders while my emails remained unanswered. Even after a reversal was eventually offered, further follow-ups were required just to get basic clarifications.

I have used credit cards for many years and have never experienced such poor communication, lack of ownership, and delayed resolution from a financial services provider.

The card itself may be good, but if you ever need customer support or dispute resolution, be prepared for a very frustrating experience. ⭐☆☆☆☆ (1/5)

Scapia offers one of the cleanest and most user-friendly credit card app experiences. The interface is fast, modern, and easy to navigate, making expense tracking and card management very convenient. The travel rewards system is impressive, especially for frequent travelers, with attractive benefits on flights and hotel bookings.

Very helpful

Great card

Travel smart with Scapia

I’ve been using the Scapia App for a while now, and honestly it’s become one of the best apps for travellers. Booking flights and hotels is super smooth. No confusion, no unnecessary steps, just quick and easy.

What I really like is the Scapia coins you earn on spending. It actually feels rewarding, and the best part is when you redeem those coins, you get really good discounted rates. It makes a noticeable difference, especially if you travel often.

Overall, it’s simple, practical, and genuinely useful — not one of those apps that just looks good but doesn’t deliver. Definitely recommend it if you travel even occasionally.

⭐☆☆☆☆ – Worst Customer Support for a Travel Card | 3 Unresolved Issues

I have been a Scapia cardholder for 3–4 months and what started well has turned into an incredibly frustrating experience.

🔴 Issue 1 – Name Correction: After booking a flight from Bangalore to Hanoi, I needed a small name correction for my wife's ticket. I contacted Scapia immediately. Weeks passed with zero resolution — just empty timelines and no callbacks. I had to visit Bengaluru Airport TWICE and fix it myself directly with AirAsia. A travel card that can't help with basic travel issues is pointless.

🔴 Issue 2 – Wrongful Cancellation Charges: AirAsia cancelled my flight (PNR: QERY6D) — I did NOT cancel it. Scapia's own agent promised a FULL refund. Instead, ₹9,252 was deducted as cancellation fees. How can you charge a customer cancellation fees when the AIRLINE cancelled the flight? This is unfair and I believe it violates basic consumer protection rights.

🔴 Issue 3 – Refund Not Adjusted in Current Billing Cycle: The partial refund I received is sitting as a negative balance to be adjusted NEXT month, while my current bill shows the full amount as payable. This is how interest traps work. Every other card I own adjusts credits in the same billing cycle.

Every time I asked to speak with a senior representative, I was told to wait 3–4 hours for a callback. Not once did anyone call back.

Avoid this card if you value your money and your time.

Response from developer

Hey, we sincerely regret the experience and understand how frustrating this has been. On your concerns— the name correction was completed via the airline, the remaining refund is currently pending from the airline’s end, and the negative balance you’re seeing appears to be temporary due to the refund adjustment and should get resolved shortly. If this does not reflect correctly in the next couple of days, please reach out to the bank at scapiafederalcards@federalbank.co.in so they can review it further. We’re keeping a close check on this and will keep you updated.

Un Imaginable Features

I’m genuinely impressed with the Scapia Federal Credit Card — it has features that feel almost too good to be true for a frequent business traveler like me.
Normally, I rely on my corporate credit card for international trips, which means paying a hefty forex markup (plus GST) on every single transaction. With Scapia, there’s zero forex markup — my spends are converted at live exchange rates with no hidden charges. That alone is a massive saving.
What surprised me even more is the smart dynamic limit feature in the app. When I spend in USD, my available credit limit is instantly displayed in USD. Switch to KWD in Kuwait, and it automatically updates to show the limit in KWD. No more manual calculations or currency conversions — everything is seamless and in real-time.
The Scapia team has done an outstanding job designing a card that truly understands the needs of business travelers. I was so convinced that I recommended it to my entire team of 40 members, and many have already applied.
Great work! Keep innovating and adding useful features — you’re well on your way to capturing a big chunk of the market.

Overpriced Rewards & Poor Value – Needs Major Improvement

Most credit cards give 4 points for ₹1, but Scapia gives 5 points for ₹1 — and still ends up being a big loss. Their hotel and flight prices are much higher than other travel apps, so the extra points have no real value. You end up paying more just to redeem rewards.

On top of that, they don’t increase the credit limit even after consistently using more than 50% of the limit every month for the last 2 years. No matter how responsibly you use the card, the limit stays the same.

Overall, overpriced bookings + low-value rewards + no credit limit growth make this card and app disappointing. Needs major improvement.

Credit card

Bestest card ever

Awesome card

I got a good reward on my transaction

Some UI/UX feedback

1. To juggle between the 2 cards, there is no instruction on how to toggle, atleast for the first time there should be some instructional message informing to swipe up for toggling between the 2 cards
2. Invite a family member - Show a countdown or like # of days remaining for you to invite your family. Something like this. Else I have to go back and remember the date on when I activated my card and calculate the days to come back again on the app to proceed with Add On cards
3. Level 1 Badge - The first half of the page with the gift gif displays - ‘Collect 3 more badges’ while the below half displays ‘Collect 3 out of 6 badges’. For a person who already has 2 badges, the first message displayed is confusing and it’s telling me to collect 3 more badges. Both these messages are contradictory

Hey there! Your excitement is electric! With Scapia, you're unlocking a world of seamless transactions and exclusive perks. The adventure begins now - happy travels and joyful spending! 🌍💳 

Great Vision, Poor Execution

The approval rate for your card is significantly below the industry average. Several of my friends with CIBIL scores ~800, already holding premium cards like HDFC Infinia/Diners were still rejected.
On top of that, my own experience has been disappointing. My credit limit was automatically reduced during the initial months and hasn't been revised despite multiple requests. The card's tap & pay feature fails most of the time and UPI transactions don't go through on the newly introduced RuPay variant. These issues have been pending for weeks and there's been no response to follow-up emails.
To the Sales and Partnerships team, please take this as constructive feedback. Broaden your partnerships beyond Federal Bank; don't rely solely on one partner. Scapia started with great potential to redefine co-branded cards in the Indian fintech space, especially for frequent travelers. But based on my experience since the early days, it's beginning to feel like another fintech misstep surviving on investor money rather than product strength.

Great card and user experience

Applied Sep 2025, application was very smooth, got virtual cards next day, and dual cards delivered within a few days, the app experience is amazing, one-stop-shop for travel, airport privileges is a great new concept, reward points are restrictive but good considering lifetime free, and zero forex is a nice plus
