IDFC FIRST Vistara Credit Card Review | IDFC First Bank Launched Vistara Co-Branded Credit Card

[ALOAK]

Try at the check in counter, cc told me same. But regular biz seats were unsold so the checkin guy happily upgraded using class upgrade vouchers.

I think this correct no wonder my requests even in airport did not get upgraded.

Y

ohhh i never knew that, fair enough then, decent returns.
Does economy also have award availability like business or all seats are open?

Yes

Why pessimism sirjee?

Took the leap of faith that's why got the card no. So no pessimism only enthusiasm

Premium

Here is value chart and comparison with SBI, Axis and IDFC. Joining bonus, CV rate, milestone benefit considered as well as assuming 1CV = 0.85 INR (this could vary). Assuming economy ticket = 4500 and Premium economy ticket = 6000 (excluding tax/surcharge). IDFC Vistara seems to be better.

Since I applied after 17th July, if I spend 30k now will i get 2k points for 1st month as I see it on app statement date states next statement date is 17th Aug 2023 or ahould I get it changed to 24th every month as statement date. Any inputs?

This is true my sis holds a Millennia and I hold a select. I applied for both hers got rejected mine got instantly approved and generated. This wad on the CV card launch day. PS: She doesn't hold a savings account just millennia but I hold a Select card, WOW card, few petty fixed deposits, EMI card and a credit line with them.

Why do you have WOW card when you already have select?

 

[rahulsethi]

Why do you have WOW card when you already have select?

The same reason why I have 31 other active credit cards 🤣 collecting plastic. My first relationship with IDFC was Select card.

 

[rahulsethi]

Why do you have WOW card when you already have select?

But in my opinion IDFC WOW is the best secured card out there right now. 0 forex and at times they run 10x rewards campaign on international spends.

Same question.

I am already a gold member but on getting this card, my gold membership was intact and I got one class upgrade voucher and 1 PE ticket

How many days after the card issuance date did you get the Welcome benefits of 1 Premium Economy ticket and 1 Class Upgrade voucher?

 

[Walter White]

How many days after the card issuance date did you get the Welcome benefits of 1 Premium Economy ticket and 1 Class Upgrade voucher?

Within 10 days after bill payment in normal circumstances

Once your virtual account is activated, signup on the app, pay the fees and it took 7 days for me. I got the vouchers before the physical card

Thanks! I paid the fees today after realizing that it must be paid first to get the vouchers.

Are rent, wallet loads, fuel and insurance included in milestone benefits for both IDFC Vistara and SBI Vistara Prime?
Since Magnus Payzap+RG is now patched for Axis, wanted to understand the best cards to pay rent. To me, these two look fine. I could not find any such exclusions in their TnCs (sbi and idfc) but for milestone nothing concrete was mentioned.

Yes.
Wallet excluded in SBI, included in IDFC

Seems our only option is to check with customer care or spend 30k and see if it counts.
