Welcome rewards on IDFC debit card

[beast34]

I just received this mail but not sure for which debit card
Did anyone else receive this?
Opened my account in 2022(before reward portal launch) hence didn't receive welcome points for visa debit card. Also i issued firsttap in may this year but surprisingly didnt receive welcome points for that also even after doing 1k+ transaction.
Any tips as to where i can spend this amount?

So, the day has finally arrived.

IDFC FIRST Bank has officially informed customers that effective from 1st January 2026, there will be no more reward points on any debit card spends - whether online, offline, or on any platform.

This update applies across all variants - Wealth, Private, and others.



The email sent by the bank starts with a long explanation, claiming that the move is aimed at "maintaining their offerings."
But let’s be honest - we all saw this coming.

Right from the start, I had mentioned that such a high-reward debit card program was too good to last...
