HDFC Bank And Swiggy Launched HDFC Bank Swiggy Credit Card | Full Details

My application was rejected with -

"The reason is that we encountered a challenge while verifying and validating your identity through our Contact Point Verification process."

I think they verified the company I use to work with. Didn't know such verification happens specially when I was already a HDFC CC customer.
 
HDFC Bank and Swiggy recently launched a co-branded credit card, the Swiggy HDFC Bank Credit Card. This is the first co-branded credit card from the food delivery cum grocery delivery giant, Swiggy. Let's first check the card details.

Fees:
Annual Fees: Rs. 500 + GST
Annual Fee Waiver Criteria: Spend ₹2L in a year.

Welcome Benefits:
Complimentary Swiggy One Membership for 3 months (onetime benefit)

This is a very basic credit card, so it doesn't have any specific main benefits associated with it. Let's check its reward system.

You'll receive cashback in the form of "Swiggy Money," and it will be valid for one year from the date of earning the cashback.

You can redeem your Swiggy Money earned via the Swiggy HDFC Bank Credit Card on the Swiggy application on the following Swiggy platforms:
  • Food ordering
  • Instamart
  • Dineout
  • Genie
Eligibility Criteria:
  • Indian Resident
Salaried:
  • Age: 21 to 60 years
  • Income: Rs. 25,000 Per month or more.
Self-Employed:
  • Age: 21 to 65 years
  • Income: ITR Of Rs. 6,00,000 or more.

This is a very basic credit card with its main benefit lying in its reward system. By spending Rs. 15,000 a month on the Swiggy app, you can earn Rs. 1500 cashback. Additionally, you can earn 5% cashback from various online websites like Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, Online Medicine Ordering Websites, and others listed under MCCs (Merchant Category Codes).

If you spend Rs. 10,000 on Swiggy (for food and grocery delivery) and Rs. 15,000 on other 5% merchants (Amazon/Flipkart/Myntra/Online Medicine/etc) per month, you can earn a total of Rs. 1,750 cashback each month. That's Rs. 21,000 cashback in a year against Rs. 3 lakh worth of spends, which is equivalent to 7% cashback.

However, the only drawback of this credit card is that you can only redeem your cashback on the Swiggy app, limited to food delivery, dining, grocery delivery, or Swiggy Genie (local parcel delivery). If you are comfortable with this type of redemption, this card is a good choice. Otherwise, if you prefer real cashback, you may want to consider the HDFC Bank Millennia Credit Card or other credit cards in the same category.
Now this credit card became same as HDFC Millennia Credit card. Right ?

If I will order any Mobile Phone from Flipkart and swiggy then I will get 5% rewards point from swiggy HDFC card ??? This purchase belongs to eligible list of online purchase for cashback ??? I am getting 5% rewards points on purchasing items in Amazon and Flipkart through HDFC CREDIT CARD regardless any MCC
 
Swiggy card is being offered as LTF on Swiggy app, interested people checkout.
I’m interested but I’m not getting it as LTF, they’re offering it to me as a paid card on Swiggy app. Is there any way to get it LTF? By reaching out to any HDFC email address or anything? I have bank account with them and I also have HDFC CC.
 
Does this card give 5% cashback for flight and travel bookings (makemytrip etc) ? Also, for groceries, if I purchase from flipkart, will it give any cashback ?
 
I am sure this card will be excluded from hdfc credit card discount offers on ecommerce sites such as amazon, flipkart similar to sbi cashback card.
