Ever since I started using smartbuy in 2022, I was always surprised to find that Cleartrip has cheaper prices for the same property compared to MMT or Yatra. I'm not a frequent traveler - I have booked 5 stays in the last 2½ years. When I used Cleartrip for the first time, the experience was...
Almost everyone knows that HDFC Bank maintains two domains for Smartbuy portal:
Example for Infinia:
Domain 1: https://offers.reward360.in/v1/infinia/home
Domain 2: https://offers.smartbuy.hdfcbank.com/v1/infinia/home
But does anyone know why they maintain two domains? Only difference I see is...
Hello TF Community,
This thread has been created to consolidate information regarding HDFC SmartBuy EMI spends on DCB (or even Infinia) cards.
When making high-value purchases such as iPhones, booking flights, or holidays—transactions that typically exceed the monthly reward cap—we often opt...
1) I have purchased gift vouchers using CC, and the cashback was reflected within 5 days in the same billing cycle. But When I bought it using a debit card it's been 15 days now.
I am talking about the Smart Buy Cashback, not the DC 5% cashback.
2) Also, will I get 2.5% extra as it was...
Hello TF fam
Today morning I tried to purchase my usual monthly quota of 10K Amazon Pay vouchers on HDFC SmartBuy using my Diners Privilege credit card. The transaction failed, as did the second one I tried. After a few minutes I received an automated call asking me to verify if it was me...
I need clarification about using HDFC SmartBuy and PayZapp. Is it mandatory that the mobile number registered on both PayZapp/SmartBuy and the HDFC credit card be the same? If the numbers differ, can we still avail of 5X Reward Points or 5% cashback?
Additionally, I’m facing an issue completing...
Hi friends,
Just trying to understand the Smartbuy world. So far I have been only using cashback cards with 1.5-2-5-10% cashbacks on various categories.
However, as we move up the card categories, all premium and higher category cards are reward point-based cards.
I might get into one of the...
I just checked that Amazon pay vouchers are no longer available on Smartbuy portal for Infinia holders.
Now Only Amazon Shopping vouchers and Amazon Prime membership vouchers are available.
This is a big devaluation by HDFC for Infinia customers.
Just noticed that Swiggy money voucher limit changed to 2k per month from 20k. Is this permanent? Noticed in past posts about Blinkit couple of months back. Was that a temporary thing?
Hi I have two doubts regarding capping of RPs on Infinia
1. Is the capping on Smartbuy of 15000 RPs per month based on calendar month or system cycle
2. Is the capping of bonus points across all types of spends(hotels, flights, trains etc.,) or is it 15000RPs for each category ?
Want to buy Airpods 4 ANC with points using Smarbuy portal. Currently Airpods 4 are not there.

Dear All,
I've had this experience with 2 out 3 partners of smartbuy. When you book hotel and input the GST details, they should give you a gst invoice, correct? Cleartrip and Yatra DO NOT (No idea on MMT).
Infact, I've fought with both of them, both said that please take from hotel directly...
