Annual Benefit:
Annual benefit is only available for IDFC Mayura Credit Card. (Annual Fee Payment Benefit: Spend minimum ₹8Lakhs in the previous card anniversary year and get 7,500 Reward Points (worth₹1875) (
Or) Spend minimum ₹15 Lakhs in the previous card anniversary year and get 15,000 Reward Points(worth ₹3750)
Overall Verdict:
IDFC launched cards just to fill the void of the paid metal cards in their portfolio. There are no super premium nor premium benefits on these cards, but the name and legacy they used is watchable to promote Indian names. At this price point they have maintained spend base access to Lounges, Golf, Spa etc.. and reward rare is not also good for this price point. Recommended only for Joining benefits.
