I'm getting offered IDFC first select credit card, but I'm not sure if I should opt for it.
Please share your opinions whether it's useful or not?

Apart from BOGO movie tickets are there any good offers or discounts?

Also, is there any referal benefit or voucher for joining?

Thanks in advance smile

@guest_999 What type of account sir
25 MAB or 10
And for RM to assure you, how much banking relation have you assured RM.
That would help me calculate the cost benifit.
I closed millenia last year for not being too rewarding, select/wealth are  the only ones I would be willing to take.

@DeciDeaim 25k MAB & it is well known that officially(unofficially period can be less & this is where your RM comes in) 10 lakh+ is required for 3 months for system to trigger wealth acc upgrade(wealth acc is different from wealth credit card) after which there are more chances of getting wealth card upgrade(if having no idfc card then even more chances of getting wealth credit card along with getting wealth acc upgrade). There is however no guarantee that after getting wealth savings acc upgrade one will definitely get wealth credit card too.

P.S. For First Select acc(not credit card) upgrade 3 lakh+ is required for at least 3 months.

It is asking for my company details and I'm not allowed to share my company details like email id, etc. Is there any way to proceed without sharing such details?

Now I got a mail stating, "unable to process the application, as it does not meet our bank's policy."

After few hours got a mail that my application has been approved.

Confusing.

I once took time to calculate the reward rate (RR) of IDFC FIRST credit cards. They are less rewarding after devaluation + ₹99 + GST reward redemption fee.

Online spends reward rate: (Millennia/Classic/Select):

Millennia/Classic: 6X RPs on online, 1RP per ₹150 (1% RR)
Select: 6X RPs on online, 1RP=₹125 (1.2% RR)

Classic: 800 points up to ₹20000, 200 points between ₹20000 to ₹25000 (1000 total up to ₹25000), 10X but only above ₹25000
Select: 1200 points up to ₹25000, 10X but only above ₹25000

1 point=₹0.25

10X Reward Points example for a big amount e.g. some air tickets (if spending ₹168,700, just for example):

On Classic: you will get 9913 points + 800 points = 10713 points = ₹2678 (1.58% RR) if spending ₹168,700
On Select: you will get 11496 points + 1200 points = 12696 points = ₹3174 (1.88% RR) if spending ₹168,700

The RR is 2% if considering spends purely above threshold, i.e. it rewards high spenders more.
