People will still buy, 17% profit right so if 2% goes also they buy unless it becomes 1% people keep on buying. They want to dust off there hardwork to get profits once done no one cares. Anyways everyone has become smart only time will say very credit card is just credit and nothing else.

Just wanted to know is 25,000 capping exist or with processing fee with 25,000 capping exist.

Infinia only Dream of majority HDFC credit card users. I believe 90% of HDFC card users have money back or similar credit cards.

I would frame that as 'FOMO' rather than a 'dream.'

Albeit, It depends on user usage.

I have already said upto 1% is the threshold once it comes people stop using and consider credit card as credit only. Which will become true. It's not about infina or other card. It's just to come to reality that credit card is just a credit in coming days where people will stop using it. (As a real world example when you have difficulty use credit card or else don't use which bank will say)

Today I started noticing HDFC Gyftr charging 2.5% gst on amazon shopping voucher and flipkart shopping voucher . Earlier this was only ment to be there for Amazon gift card. if hdfc is going to charge so much for everything how will this work . This is so sad 🙁 they are just not stopping one step after another .

When a majority of US CC users hardly ever pay the bill in full and are in never ending EMIs, its easy to pass a chunk of those interests as rewards.

What are the interest rates in USA?

Don't know. But have seen many discussing majorly about emis and it seemed paying in full is not the main stream. If many are opting emis, cc providers get enough to reward .

@vaibhav111 be like

and no sleep till this noise settles

It's pretty disappointing that even for shopping vouchers they are charging now. With the revised criteria to get the cards making it difficult and then reducing the rewards and devaluing the cards what is their end-game?
Do they not want people using card anymore? or have they achieved their target numbers and now no more in growth phase and just want to squeeze out the existing ones like all other services do?
Is the enshittification of HDFC card or credit card in general in full force?

Unfortunately, HDFC and Axis are two sides of the same coin. The one named "Heads" is naturally chosen ahead of the one named "tAils", but there is no difference between the two.

Amazon and Flipkart users find more value in buying through HDFC smartbuy, rather than using ICICI Amazon or Axis Flipkart cards.
This could be a move of Amazon and Flipkart to reduce benefit from HDFC Smartbuy and increase usage of their own cards.

This has been happening in steps from past few months.

Anyways Infinia and Diners Black are still better compared to the 5% cashback on Amazon and Flipkart cards. Dont know what lies ahead. A few months down the line, there might be further curb on these cards too.
