Kingfisher-Mastercard Query
Hey guys.. I'm planning to start saving up KF miles as I find myself traveling on IT more often than 9W thanks to their more convenient timings..
A couple of queries.. I have a HDFC World Mastercard, do they offer similar privileges as the ICICI World Mastercard?
Also I don't bank with ICICI but I don't mind creating an account to get their World card, any idea what their eligibility criteria is and how easily they approve cards?
Thanks!

Thanks Keyser.. I did consider the Amex card but I've heard their rejection rate is ridiculously high and so is the eligibility criteria..
Could anybody list out what the criteria is like? Thanks!
