HDFC Millennia DC: Smartbuy 5% + 5% + 2.5%

Edit: The extra 2.5% on Sbuy not coming these days as confirmed by many. SO now it is 5% + 5% but Millennia CC still has 5%+1%..

This post is regarding earning 12.5% on Smartbuy using HDFC Millenia. There is nothing new in this but many of us are missing higher CB on low spend.

We all know that Millennia DC has max. cap of Rs.400 as 5% cashback so we mostly use it for 16000 CC Payment or some use it for wallet load of 40K.

The thing I analyzed today was, my friend in Dec- 2023 used his Millennia DC on smartbuy for Rs.5000 for flipkart voucher only and nowhere else. When I checked his rewards, it were 5% smartbuy cashback offer (upto Rs.1000/month) for HDFC cards i.e Rs.250 were credited in April 2024, 5% Millennia DC specific for txn on Smartbuy/Payzapp i.e as per TnC and also 2.5% as online usage. Total 375 was credited to him. Max. is 400.

With Millennia CC it was confirmed since years that smartbuy txns were giving 5% cashback + 1% online spend so total 6% but same is with Millennia DC also.

So next time when you buy A gift card from smartbuy worth Rs. 5340 will fetch you- Rs.267+133.50 = Rs. 400 (50 paisa 😆 will not be given as 400 is max limit). The smartbuy cashback of 5340*5/100= 267 will be extra and come under 1000 cashback category.

Main point missed was the 5% debit card specific cashback and 2.5% online and 1% offline/wallet load, all have a cumulative limit of max. 400. So most of us missed this thing as were spending more than 8000-16000 every month.

If it is 8.96%, then only I want to buy AGV 5000 every month using millennia DC; otherwise, it's a loss for me. The problem is I have to wait 90 days to verify. Thats why asking.
6.46% is guaranteed. Rest questionable now as some people told they didn't get it (extra 2.5%). I can't verify myself these days as paying 16K bills.
Another thing that confused me is... in Payzapp shop they are providing 3% for DC (all DC right?) but it was written 5% here https://www.hdfcbank.com/personal/pay/cards/millennia-cards/millennia-debit-card (ur given link). I can see the Payzapp page. It is clearly mentioned as 3%, and the change (5% to 3%) was possibly done 2-3 months back.
When you purchase APayV or any other voucher...

Its 5% for using hdfc dc on smartbuy + your core dc reward rate.

You somehow got misleaded by 5% dc cashback and 5% smartbuy cashback. You only get 5% from smartbuy for using hdfc dc.

Wapis read karo usne kya likha hai.

5+5+2.5 mila hai usko

This was working in Old feature wala Millennia CC as well since long time🤣

Jabhi toh Millennia CC ko revamp kiya aur devalue kar diya by removing 5% for Smartbuy and 2.5% for online Usage as Card Features🤣

I looted a lot when it was live in Millennia CC

Afterer OP Post seems like Millennia DC still Working for 5+5+2.5

Yeah we all got extra benefit with millenia CC in same way in past. I used to buy product from Amazon via Smartbuy during GIF sales. There used to be 10% with HDFC CC on Amazon and via Smartbuy 5% extra cashback in statement. So we used to get 5% of total value as smartbuy cashback. There were double benefits as 5% reward points were also there which used to credit in 90 days. So all in all 10% instant discount + 5% smartbuy cashback upto 750 and 5% millenia CC RP also upto 1000 were good times.
 
Wow sweet new knowledge.
I always thought millennia dc gives 5+5 %. But since the 1% millennia dc feature is given on wallet load. Doing 40k account to account xfer was a no brainer.
And thought one should use the millennia cc to get the 6% from smartbuy.

But now this means 2.5% extra is better. 5340 is tough no for gyftr voucher buying. Probably best is to buy 5k voucher and 2.5k bank transfer/ cc pay.
 
Is there is anything new. I only know these benefits of millenia dc. @desiviru
Pls tell

Q.1. if I buy gift voucher from smartbuy/payzapp then the capping of 1000rs will be counted.

Not the 400rs cashback
Q. 2. I pay 40k credit card bill of other bank than hdfc via net banking to get 400rs.

Can you tell me where can I pay credit card bill of 16000rs by other apps to get 400rs cashback @2.5% online spend.

Q.3. is there any more cashbacks rate or capping I m missing.
Pls tell @VISHESH_BANSAL

BTW those who are not aware, AU bank giving 5% extra cashback as rewards over base rewards.
Let say base rewards cashback is 2% then total will be 7% as cashback in terms of rewards.
Offer valid on all GC's till tomorrow

If you can Pay CC Bills worth 16k every month, then psy it and get 400 every month.

Simple

Except Mobikwik,Payzapp and Bajaj wherever you are getting DC option pay 16k
 
Apart from 5% card specific CB, I thought we get only 5% smartbuy CB (1000/month) ~ total 10% as mentioned by @D₹V in this thread

Thread 'HDFC Bank Millennia Debit Card & It's Benefits ❤️🔥' https://www.technofino.in/community/threads/hdfc-bank-millennia-debit-card-its-benefits-❤️🔥.16374/

Do we also get 2.5% for online usage as well?@VISHESH_BANSAL @NShah
Yes just like millennia CC where we get 5% cashback from smartbuy and 1% online spend rewards from Millennia CC. But thing is 5% + 2.5% has max. cap of 400.
