Following are some unique features of HDFC MoneyBack Credit Card:

MoneyBack Reward Programme: Rewards points earned on purchases made using the HDFC Bank MoneyBack Credit Card can be easily redeemed for an impressive range of gifts and air miles from an exclusive rewards catalogue.

Also, transactions where the total amount is less than ₹ 150 do not accrue any reward points.

• 2 reward points accrue for every Rs 150 spent
• 2X reward points on online spends
• 100 reward points are equal to Rs 20 as cashback
