The eligibility for HDFC Sliver Card is Age of 21. And salary of 2 Lac +
But i am 20 and i don't earn that much.

Which credit card should i go for, So That Online Purchases Won't Be a Problem
And a card that Works Well With PayPal.

Of course there should be no salary requirements. And 18+ Age limit is ok.

Any Citibank VISA card should work, I have been using since 2000, no problems. This MTV and XYZ affiliations are just for discounts or offers you might get from channel partners when you use that card, else it makes no difference. I have a Citibank Classic (no thrid party affliliations) and a Citibank Cricket card (just took it because it was free, hardly use it).

ok thanks.
will ask for the citibank mtv visa card.

my father has no faith in internet banking and credit card use on the internet.
he is too skeptical. also he does not know about paypal and stuff.

I use Citibank Goldcard for all transactions online,
it completely safe if you know the site is trust worthy.
( like you know the site well, e.g. i use indiaplaza, ndtv, rediff, flipkart, ebay.in, futurbazzar etc.)
as in just dont use the card at any pathetic site.. thats it.

also when I make the payment the citibank i-pin enter page comes up .. so its extra secure.
.. as for my experience citibank has been a better in customer support than my icici card.

+1 citbank, even your citi bank debit card will work for online transactions in most case.
Unlike most of the cards. I got Silver Card, and citibank guys are coercing me to increase the balance limit. but I say no.

Besides this remember most of the card working process. When they charge and how they charge.
