My Experience
Since I have an international trip planned next month to Japan I tried to apply HDFC ForexPlus Card (multicurrency card) and load some 2,00,000 Yen to the card to compare the actual reward rate. While Google is showing the exchange rate of 2L Yen equal to 112150 INR, HDFC is charging me some 1,16,695 INR including loading charges of around 195. It equates to a direct loss of approximately 4.01% since HDFC has higher Forex rates. But with a 16.66% (5X) reward rate on my Diners Club Black credit card, this deal is too good since it would leave me a net reward rate of 12.65% which handsomely beats even the reward rates of Axis Olympus and Axis Reserve. This is a good offer especially if you hold Diners Black or above credit cards.

Loading in USD is proving to be much cheaper since only approximately 2% charge is being applied so if you want to get a card then go for Regalia Plus Forex card since although it can be loaded only in USD but can be used to pay in any currency worldwide since it has zero cross currency markup charges.

I see 88.54 right now, and no reload fee of 75+gst. Even for 10 usd it's showing just 885.4 and 45 taxes. Is there some special offer in my account?

I don't have my passport currently with me. Will they allow card pickup with a print-out of the passport?

Any idea what's this about? I applied yesterday in the morning. Personalized version and today I got this text. I have not collected the card.

Okay so my Infinia statement got generated today. The base reward points table shoes 0 for the forex transaction. However, within the accelerated reward points area there is an entry of forex rewards (1X for now). Which means the rewards are been provided as part of the offer and is also separate from the smartbuy limit of 15k.

2 questions:
1. Can I buy the card in my wife's name (existing hdfc customer with valid ITR etc) and pay by my Infinia card?
or
2. Can I pay with Infinia add-on card in my wife's name and get 5X?

There is an option to apply for forex card through request apply...but it selects the multicurrency forex card by default...at least I couldn't find an option to change that in NB...were you able to do this?
