How To Apply MoneyBack HDFC Bank Plus Credit Card

The HDFC Bank MoneyBack Plus Credit Card represents an enhanced iteration of its predecessor, the HDFC MoneyBack Credit Card. This superior card offers compelling rewards across everyday spending categories, including groceries (BigBasket), lifestyle purchases (Flipkart and Amazon), dining (Swiggy), and departmental store shopping (Reliance Smart SuperStore).

While both cards share a comparable annual and joining fee of ₹500, the MoneyBack Plus Card distinguishes itself with a significantly improved reward structure. Cardholders earn up to 10X (20) CashPoints for every ₹150 spent at participating partner brands. These CashPoints are versatile, allowing redemption against outstanding balances, a diverse product catalog, Airmiles, and other options. In addition to cashback, cardholders can receive gift vouchers valued up to ₹2,000 upon achieving predetermined spending milestones.
