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

[nikhil.b]

Those who are planning to get IDFC Vistara Card, do it after 17th as 30000 spends are considered on a billing date basis and not on a joining date basis. Billing date for this card is 17th, so, in case you apply for it today, you'll only have 3 days to spend 30k and complete target for first month.

It will get extended if you get your billing date changed to 24th(the last possible), correct?

They updated the billing info yesterday. Seems they have fixed this issue.

Just tried applying for this card. received the application number but didn't receive the digital card instantly. waiting for the last 2 hours. I hold idfc select credit card and a savings account with idfc first Bank.
Seems that instant card hype faded in 2 days.

They extended first month milestone dates to August billing for initial few customers, just received the mail yesterday.

Just received the call from CC that only people who have pre-approved or existing offers for idfc Vistara card can apply and get an instant card. 😛

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.

If you like reward rate then then this is a better card compared to Vistara Prime

Fees half of Infinite, reward rate same as inifinite

Am wondering if I apply will there be a change in vistara gold to silver. Not sure.

Anyone knows by when can we expect to get the joining benefits (Silver, 1 PR voucher, 1 upgrade voucher)? I applied for the card on the day it was launched, but my Vistara membership has not been upgraded yet.

I was already a gold member, just pay the joining fees, once paid, I got the upgrade voucher and ticket within 2-3 days.

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

Hi everyone,

Is rent payment considered for milestone for this card and SBI prime both? A lot depends on that as well.

Rent is considered for milestone and you also get 1 cv point per 200 sbi not sure if they give points and is considered for milestone. I did try last month on sbi prime paytm wallet load sbi did not give CV points .

I have myself used upgrade voucher on award tickets, it works so bindass lo

I tried several times but keep rejecting it. They will not upgrade as they will wait till.last moment of business revenue ticket is sold. But they will take request but not guaranteed. What they said to me in airport was at the time of boarding they will inform innit is upgraded else we have to travel by premium economy. But we can use upgrade voucher ob points and cash bookings. Not sure why some get upgrade on award ticket and most don't get it. May be traffic wise or sector wise . Could be.
