So this means one will get additional 10 points over & above 6 points on online ecomm eligible txns? Still not of much use unless one is spending where no card offer is available & no sbi cb card either.
Got a push notification about it. Gave a missed call. Although it will only be useful for me if I spend outside of Amazon, Flipkart, BigBasket, JioMart, Uber, Swiggy, Zomato, BlinkIt, Zepto, Uber, Dmart online, medicine merchants (1mg, Netmeds, Apollo etc)
Here is the normal reward rate of IDFC CC:
Millennia/Classic: 1% up to ₹20000 (6X), 1.58% above ₹20000 (10X)
Select: 1.2% up to ₹25000, 1.88% above ₹25000
Even with 10X additional, it comes out to be:
Millennia/Classic: 16X = 2.66% up to ₹20K, 20X = 3.32% above 20K
Select: 3.2% (16X), 4% above 20K
ICICI Amazon Pay CC gives 5% on Amazon (with Prime)
Axis Flipkart CC gives 5% on Flipkart
HDFC Millennia CC gives 5% on Amazon, Flipkart and Uber
SBI Cashback gives 5% on many online merchants
IndusInd Indie DC gives 3% on top 3 merchants of our choice
Plus there's the ₹99+18% GST fee=₹117 for redeeming points associated with IDFC which killed their value proposition completely for me
If there's a specific offer on IDFC CCs offering additional discount e.g. flat 10% or 20%, then this is truly useful in this short weekly period i.e on merchants/card combos which don't already have 5% discount.
