suggestion required: HDFc money back to HDFC regelia

Regalia is much better than Money back. Check if you are getting Regalia as LTF as HDFC is issuing this as LTF for some customers.
Spend based waiver is 3 lac per year.

Any specific advantage of regalia over money back?
As I used to get 500 voucher for every 50K spend on Money Back card in each quarter.
With Regalia I am not getting anything

Priority pass , higher reward points per 150 , domestic lounge access
Only get reg if you get it LTF else dont bother 3L spends on reg is not worth it

Go for Regalia if it is LTF, in future you will get option to upgrade DCB and then Infinia

you could have got regalia at LTF (for all applicants) if u had got regalia b4 31st december. There was a offer running at that time. Now, its user specific.

Even at 3 lac spend it is very good card as you get 18 free lounge access and currency markup fee is very low. Also higher reward rates at smartbuy and rewards on point redemption.

Op uses only 1lac a year for that without LTF he/she has to shell out 3k for annual fees which is not justified

Guys how abt upgrading moneyback to millenia.? Worth it? Can achieve spends by buying az gv on smartbuy.

Thank you guys. Will talk to CC whether it would be LTF. If yes then will go for it

Off topic: Do we have an option in Regalia first to convert reward points against statement balance like money back card?

All HDFC cards have this option..
check in net banking.

I think it’s worth upgrading as you’ll get regalia as also LTF

Yes you have that option but reward rate will be halved if redeemed against statement

Only if you think you can achieve at least 2500 rp per year, then you can upgrade to millennia. Miillenia card also has minimum spend conditions for 2.5x and 5x rewards. Check in detail and only then go for it.

I’m reconfirming because earlier I had snapdeal card which gave only snapdeal vouchers. Thanks

That’s disappointing

Worst case scenario (considering 1% cashback on all offline/wallet reloads ) you need to spend 2,50,000 per year. The best case scenario (considering 5% cashback on smartbuy transactions) is 50,000.

Redeem Amazon vouchers sell it at 2% off and use that to pay credit card bill.

If you have upcoming flight bookings, you can go ahead with flight redemptions. This will be slightly more than that for gv. But only 70% of the amount may be paid using points remaining 30% needs to be paid via card.

Monthly cap for 5% cb is 2k per month if you buy through smartbuy.
