Details of MoneyBack rewards are given below:

• Reward points earned on the HDFC Bank MoneyBack Credit Card are valid for a period of 2 years from the date they were earned

However, only retail purchases qualify for reward points. Fuel transactions, cash advance, fees and other charges do not earn reward points. Also, transactions where the total amount is less than Rs. 150 do not accrue any reward points.
