Now this is the legit devaluation
Here is the full pdf for Burgundy Debit card and Savings Account.

Good thing is no points reversal for points already credited. This debit card has been giving points in pretty much every category as of now.

Titanium does give 5% fuel but it is a PAID card.

I use Airtel broadband and save 250/month (25%), whereas Titanium gives 5% (a loss of 20%)

Assuming 60K annual spend on fuel, 12k annual spend on Broadband, 28k on utilities.
SCB rewards: 5K (1L at 5%)
Airtel+IOCL: 8.5k (3.2k fuel + 3k broadband + 2.8K utilities - .5k AF)
Losing 3.5% yearly. And don't even get me started on SCB not providing me a card because I don't have my last name in my Aadhaar [Context]

Clearly losing a lot with this alternative, aren't we....

I will agree with the point that Infinia is a valid alternative for Swiggy, but still we lose out on 1.5% on UPI.
Unfortunately, Infinia is invite-only, although I have DCB and have put in request for an upgrade (which is under process) it does have it's overall reward points capping, in which case, niche cards can help me.
As i said.. it was an indicative suggestion. . has to be viewed with personal context....my titanium was ltf..agree with you that we have to make the best of what cards we have / can get... cheers!!
 
Does that include HDFC too ?! 🙂

In certain situations multiple cards from the same bank may be a necessity, --- like I felt I needed an ICICI core card on top of the Amazon Pay CC (for obvious reasons). A single core card per bank should suffice, I agree.


(... I see that I had missed a few posts above on the same subject while posting)! 🙂
.
yes hdfc definitely.. although they tend to treat their existing savings customers a little unfairly.. i have ONLY an infinia with them.. that was upgraded from dcb.. no other relationship.. they are chasing me to open a bank account and i never will..🙂..and ccs were applied for normally with no exceptions or escalation and obviously no RM..
 
I think Burgundy Private Debit card is excluded from Devaluation as of today. May be tomorrow shall get the surprise devaluation gift from the bank for Private DC as well lol

I happen to be an Imperia customer, and can't pretend to ever be able to follow their business thought process! 🙂
