    You are right. But I also see that Business Moneyback cards are not affected.

    Hi Siddharth, this is indeed a nice and comprehensive article. I have a HDFC Moneyback Credit Card issued to me a year ago as an upgrade from a Titanium Edge card I had earlier. The card has a limit of 3 lakh plus but am not happy with the features ever since the devaluation occurred. The next upgrade they have offered me is the Allmiles card which has the same devaluation. Is there a better card I can apply for from the HDFC stable? Do let me know your thoughts on the same. Thanks in advance:-).

      Yuri,
      Ask for Regalia or Regalia First.
      Your Credit limit is good enough for bank to approve those cards.

        Hey Siddharth, thanks for sharing this information bro:-). Guess I will have to contact their customer care for this request as the HDFC website is only offering me the Allmiles card as an upgrade if you can even call it that post all the devaluation. Will also wait for your review on Regalia First as well so that I can take an informed decision.

    I too had just gotten the money back card and this has been quite a bummer and my limit is around a lakh.
    Which card would you recommend I upgrade to or change to. My priority is to get maximum savings rather then benefits for travel or for forex spend.

      You can upgrade to allmiles or any diners cards. Your limit will also go up during upgrade, if you choose to.

      Depends on Your eligibility. Get the premium ones if you’re eligible for.
      Below is the High to low end variants
      Diners Black > Regalia > All Miles > Moneyback

        Hi Siddharth,

        Nice to see your posts on credit cards. I am having HDFC Superia credit card and going to expire in 4 months. I have nearly 10000 reward points in this card. As per my knowledge, i have to redeem the points only through gift vouchers and cannot redeem as cash with Superia card.
        As it is going to expire, Customer care person said i am eligible for Regalia card.
        Please suggest which card is better for upgradation. Is it better to take a money back card so that i can redeem my points into cash or take Regalia card. Also, please clarify whether all my reward points will be transferred to the new card.

          Regalia is good, better than Moneyback in many ways. Go for it.

      Its tough to get upgraded to premium card from a basic card with this limit.
      You can upgrade to Allmiles and then to Regalia after another 3-6 months.

      Moneyback is good to go, but if you’re eligible for premium cards, go with them.

    Hi, How can I upgrade my HDFC Moneyback credit card to some other variant and what are the key points to have it upgraded or even have option to upgrade?

      Check for upgrade on netbanking, if not just submit the upgrade application.
      If usage is decent, you can apply for upgrade in 6 months.

    We have Moneyback card with 4L limit. While checking for up gradation on net banking, it shows two options
    1. EMV MC HNW REGALIA INTL
    Annual Fees: 0
    50% value of reward points remains

    2. JETPRIVIL HDFCBANK WORLD
    Annual Fees: 2500
    43% value of reward points remains

    Is it worth upgrading or should we continue with moneyback

    Hi Ramesh

    Kindly read sid’s review gor both. Then see which suits you better.

    Personally, I think they have taken all the benifits out of hdfc cards through devaluation.

    It seems HDFC has further devalued this card. I have 2237 RP on my card and when i was redeeming them for cash it shows only 447/- INR as equivalent amount i.e 1RP =0.20 INR.

    This is really poor move from HDFC.

    They have capped the monthly rewards point under 2X RP feature to 500 Rp per statement cycle on MoneyBack Card.
    “FROM 15 JUL’20, MAX EARNING UNDER MONEYBACK’S 2X RP FEATURE FOR ONLINE
    SPENDS WILL BE 500 REWARD POINTS PER STMT CYCLE”.
