IDFC First Bank Mayura Super Premium Credit Card & Ashva Premium Credit Card (Both Metal Cards) Launched

I had almost made up my mind to apply for Ashwa for the free movie tickets alone. We (family of four) watch a lot movies (around four per month) and do not have any BOGO cards. I was seriously considering applying for Ashwa for the BMS BOGO offers alone which would cover two movies a month (2 free tickets + VISA Infinite offer). However there seems to be a catch.

For some reason IDFC cards allow only one free ticket per transaction. So no matter you book 2, 3, or 4 tickets you get only one free! If you need two free tickets on booking four, you have to book it in two separate transactions which introduces another line of hassle. And that too for a paid card!

These guys are hell bent on making everything so difficult! Oh how I miss the Magnus!

Annual Benefit:

Annual benefit 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).

Annual benefit for IDFC Ashva Credit Card (Annual Fee Payment Benefit: Spend minimum ₹8 Lakhs in the previous card anniversary year and get 7,500 Reward Points (worth ₹1875).

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 rate is not also good at this price point. Recommended only for Joining benefits.
