Welcome Benefits worth Rs. 5,000
This card provides joining benefits in the form of vouchers worth Rs. 5,000 for shopping, dining, apparel and other category spends. You can get these vouchers only if you activate your credit card within the first 30 days of card opening. This benefit is not available on card renewal after the first year.
This feature is quite remarkable when compared to other similar credit cards as the cardholders get welcome vouchers worth 5 times the card fee. Generally, most credit cards simply match the value of their welcome benefits to their joining fee. For instance, HDFC Millennia or premium cards like SBI Elite both offer gift vouchers equivalent to their annual fee amount as welcome benefits. However, in case of this HDFC Platinum Times credit card, the joining benefit value far exceeds the card fee.
