Best suited toConsistent online and UPI spenders able to cross ₹5,000 every month.First-time HDFC applicants who prioritise low eligibility thresholds over a high base earn rate.
Main trade-offThis is a ₹100 monthly-fee product, not a conventional ₹1,200 annual-fee card. Missing even one monthly spend target can trigger that month’s fee, and regulated categories are excluded from rewards and the waiver.Base value back is only 0.075% at ₹0.15 per CashPoint. Accelerated merchants and regulated categories have separate ceilings, exclusions and minimum transaction rules.
