HDFC Bank offers an extensive credit card rewards programme. Known as ‘MyRewards’, it makes shopping an exciting experience for HDFC credit card holders. To make this experience more rewarding, HDFC Bank has partnered with several of the country’s leading brands, retail stores, hotel chains, and airlines to offer a wide range of options for the ways in which you can redeem your points.
Based on the type of HDFC credit card you own, you will be eligible to earn HDFC reward points for different categories of transactions. Once you have accumulated a specified number of reward points, you can redeem them for different lifestyle products, gift vouchers, discounts, air miles and more from the HDFC rewards catalogue. Check out all the details about the bank’s rewards programme.
You can earn HDFC credit card reward points against the transactions you make using your card. Each time you use your credit card to pay, the points due on such a transaction, if any, are automatically credited to your HDFC rewards account. Keep in mind that the purchases that qualify for HDFC credit reward points may differ depending on the type of credit card.
For instance, some HDFC cards may reward you for shopping at retail outlets, making purchases at grocery stores, or buying movie tickets. Other cards may allow you to earn points against utility bill payments. And for yet other cards, transactions at international destinations, booking flight tickets, or even purchasing fuel can earn reward points.
Here is a list of HDFC credit card reward points you can earn against spends based on the type of card.
