Overall, the Federal Bank Scapia Credit Card is a strong option for frequent travelers who primarily book their flights and hotels through the Scapia app. Its high travel rewards, zero forex markup, and unlimited domestic lounge access offer significant value. However, the limited reward earning on non-Scapia bookings, app dependency, and focused redemption options might be drawbacks for travelers with more diverse booking preferences. Consider your preferred booking platforms and travel habits before making a decision.
