This card is a very basic one, above the previously reviewed HDFC Business Platinum Credit Card (discontinued) based on reward pointing system. You can get lots of offers online, just head over to smart buy section of HDFC bank website and goto credit card offers to see a huge list of offers.

No other bank has such extensive offers across a lot of ecommerce websites. Additionally, business credit cards issued by HDFC usually comes with a higher credit limit eligibility as we typically spend quite a lot. You can also get your limit increased if you’ve very good turn over on your IT Returns.

Bottomline

If you’re getting started with credit card with low spends, its okay to hold the HDFC Business Moneyback credit card but if you’re really looking to save money with points, you need to go for the HDFC Business Regalia Credit Card which is probably the best business credit card out there now (late 2018).

      Withdrawing cash on credit card is the worst thing to do with a credit card as it comes with huge interest. Never do it.

          Moneyback card is best for Online usage. For offline, both can be treated similar.

      Please do not use it for withdrawing cash
      you will be charged alot on daily basis
      You can do one thing
      link your CC card to Any payment wallet like paytm
      then add money
      using CC option
      then you can transfer the amount in your bank account.
      you will be charged only 2% by paytm
      which is much less then the actual bank charges.

    1.As per the HDFC person who helped me in getting the card confirmed that i have to pay only for what i puchase except that interset if due date is passed.IS it true that i wont be charged with any other e.g. renewal or annual fees?

    2.If i have to use card once in 2 year for example will i have to pay or will i get charge as annual fees or other.

    1. Siddharth Post author

      Unless or until the policies changes, you wont be charged for lifetime whatsoever. But its good to use the card atleast once in 5-6 months to keep the card active. Bank may freeze the card if its inactive for long.

    Hi,
    I got this credit card about 7 Months back which is my first ever card. Recently got an update on the Net Banking portal about a lifetime free credit card offer and it said i was eligible for Regalia Card. But after the application i got a call from hdfc bank saying as per their policy they don’t issue a second card to the same person. My requirements right now is lower currency markup fee, so is it possible to know when i might be eligible for an upgrade. I am quite happy with my current limit. The customer care executive suggested that i cancel this card and apply for a new one, i don’t wish to do that. If you think i wont be eligible for one anytime soon i might consider the customer care’s advice or go for a new card from a different bank.

    Thanks

      My suggestion would be,
      upgrade to Allmiles and wait for 3-4 months and then ask for Regalia upgrade.
      Simply mail the HDFC support for this.

      Reply
      1. Salman

        Right now there is no upgrade offer. The banking website says i am eligible for a range of cards but the customer care guy says otherwise. My query is should i wait for the bank to offer an upgrade or go ahead with another card, or if i have to wait what would be the approx time period for me to get the upgrade and i am regular in my payments i have never missed any payments.
        Thanks in advance

          Salman,
          You have to “Mail them” and ask if they can upgrade you. You can get Allmiles this way very easily. You can still try for regalia.
          Phone support doesnt have access to such information.
          As far as HDFC is concerned, never call them 😀

    I dint get any mail or SMS or calls stating REWARDS point in money back credit card is going to change. I was accumulating REWARDS points trusting HDFC suddenly I checked my REWARDS points value dripped from 2000 to 1500/- on top of it der is 75rs+service tax charges when we redeem it, this is too rubbish with out intimating customer how can yu change & for existing reward point value is dropped what nonsense is this? I wanted to resolve this from hdfc

    By thinking REWARDS point are safe. I left it withing redeeming but suddenly with out intimating customer no calls no msgs no mail reward points value propped means I have 5000 point which was 2000rs now it became 1500rs I shud pay 75 RS charge to redeem it what nonsense is this? How existing point value can be dropped so worstly that too without intimating.

      Yes you can use anywhere. Forex markup fee varies from card to card. Each of my review has it. If not, its 3.5%+tax
      No, you can’t transfer from cc to cc.

    I applied for this credit card from NetBanking on 17th Feb and got a call from HDFC that I don’t need to submit any documents since I already have a savings account. It’s been almost 13 days now and I haven’t heard anything from them, the online status shows that application is still in review. I don’t have a cibil score since I have never applied for any credit before. Is it safe to assume that the application is going to be rejected so I can apply for some other card from maybe SBI?

      Hi, I had only a simple savings account with HDFC and had no CIBIL score. One fine day they called me said that they were willing to issue me a credit card. I told them that I had no CIBIL score and they told me that they were not asking for CIBIL score and that I was eligible for a credit card. They asked me to login into my account and gave me the link to fill additional details. The same day late evening I received the virtual card by email and the next day I received a mail saying that my card was dispatched with courier details. I received the card on the third day of my application and it’s working fantastic!!!

      WHOLE HEATED THANKS TO HDFC!!! LONG LIVE!!!

      Sir look credit score is not the only thing.
      if you are having a package of 10.80 lakhs PA
      then you can apply for diners premium card.
      if your salary is low you can get Diners rewards or regalia first card which is also a SPC (Super premium card)

      You can also get a Regalia First card if you are a Classic customer of HDFC bank.
      To become a classic customer you have to maintain the average quarterly balance of 1lakhs or above.

    Hi Siddharth

    In the features of this Business Money-back card you have written no free airport lounge access. This is incorrect. I have this card (MasterCard) and have used domestic lounge twice this year. I was charged Rs 25 which was reversed shortly.

    Or is it some special benefit they gave me maybe??
