Sir with infinia metal you can easily get amazon pay vouchers @13-16% discount and you can pay utility bills, recharges, insurance payment etc right? Still why HDFC Ultimo
10% direct cashback is always better than 12% reward points
This is correct.. sometimes I use sbi cb card instead of infinia for the same reason...
 
But that's 5%, no? 🤔
Ultimo/Select black gives 10%
Again a cobranded vs a core Millennia card for me and 10K txn per month only with Ultimo due to max. 1000 RPs on Phonepe. Rest all is 5%.

Phonepe HDFC card is not for those who has more than double of 10K per month to spend. If it had say 2K rewards or 2500 under 10%, it would have been cosidered by me on family members accounts and I have a complete no for cobranded ones. Personal choice. 🙂

The card is good with 1000+500+500 thing but max. reward isn't. Also the fee is more as Millennia became LTF in 2023.

One addition here -
For SBI 2000 cashback limit is cumulative for all categories.
For HDFC it is individual cashback limit per category !!

SBI also has individual 2k limit per category.
Updated my comment so it’s clearer
 
Applied yesterday 9:29 PM, got approved today 3:53 PM, can see the option to set card pin in phonepe app now (can be done once physical card is received).
I applied at around 9.00 pm yesterday..
it seems you jumped the queue or my application is lagging..

lets see what happens..
I had authenticated via my Infinia CC..
have you authticated via DC/ netabnking / CC?

Thing is both SBI and HDFC cards are mahmoth and PhonePe wants customer data with these cards. They are jealous of Amazon enjoying party from long. I hope Amazon answers that with own cobranded card with similar benefits. Both are non-Indian cos.

Anyways, applied for my brother using his PhonePe acc. and verfied using his Regalia Gold card for KYC. Application submitted at 08:10:41 PM exact. He has no other HDFC CC so maybe they will approve by today evening or Monday.

Will Credit limit be shared one? Currently he has 7.58L on Regalia.
