HDFC Credit Card Spend Based Offer – July, Aug 2021 (Targeted)

By | December 3, 2021
hdfc credit card spend offer - July 2021

HDFC Bank has been rolling out spend based offers on their credit cards since long time. Recently we see that HDFC has become quite aggressive on this as you could see the offers that many received on April, May June 2021.

But now this offer “seem” to have got less aggressive as of July 2021. Here’s everything you need to know:

July 2021 Offer

OfferSpend Rs.XXXXX and get voucher worth upto Rs.XXXX of your choice (Flipkart/Bigbasket/Lifestyle/Myntra)
DurationSpend between 05 July 2021 and 31 July 2021
TypeSpend linked / Targeted
Fulfilmentwithin 90 working days from the offer end date.
T&COffer Source

The offer is similar to previous ones, except that the voucher value got reduced. The target that I received (89K) gives me additional 2.8% on the spend which is over and above the regular rewards. Decent savings!

That aside, there is also an EMI offer bundled in this promo.

  • EasyEMI offer: Transact using HDFC Bank EasyEMI on your Credit Card for Rs.15,000 or above and get an Amazon/Flipkart/Myntra voucher worth Rs.750
  • Add-on offer: Spend Rs.5000 and get Rs.500 voucher.

EMI offer might be useful for those who intend to avail HDFC EMI, but the problem is HDFC EMi rate of interest is very HIGH (even higher for self-employed) in the industry, as seen below:

HDFC Credit Card EMI Rate of interest

For your info, Yesbank Credit card has an offer to convert to EMI or take as cash loan at ~9.9% – that’s the only good thing about Yesbank cards though.

Aug 2021 Offer

A similar offer has been triggered for August 2021 as well and here’s a quick look at one of the offer triggered for diners black on a card with minimal usage.

HDFC Spend Offer - Aug 2021

And there is one add-on card offer too!

HDFC add on offer - Aug 2021

Updates

  • July Offer was fulfilled on 27th Oct 2021.
  • Aug Offer was fulfilled on 29th Nov 2021.

My Thoughts

It’s good to see that the HDFC spend linked offers are getting rolled out often for many lately but with what I see from multiple reports, high value vouchers (like 7K voucher) are not targeted for anyone for July 2021. Hope it comes back sometime in future.

What’s the offer you’ve received on your HDFC Credit Card? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below.

    Hey Sid – Yours is much better than mine. I got an offer where I get voucher of INR 2k on a spend of 102,000 between the same dates as you mentioned. They’ve possibly considered average spend in recent months and are trying to make you spend more than what you do. Is that the case with you as well?

      I couldn’t find any pattern in these offers and that maybe because my spends don’t follow a pattern as well. So its tough to say!

    Vanakam brother,

    I have a HDFC DCB, and this is my 2nd or 3rd spend promo in the last 3 years with this card.
    Since April 2021 I haven’t use much of this card. Like bills of ₹4000- ₹20,000 from March till June!

    Well I just received a SPEND promo,
    I got “spend ₹25,000 from 5th to 31 July and get ₹1000 voucher”

      For those who are like me and don’t see these offer(s) coming in emails/SMS, I generally login netbanking around 15th of the month and check if any exists under offers tab. no wonder RBI put a hold on HDFC due to their legacy IT systems.

    I think its an attempt at retention rather than reward as these take 3 months to realise by then we would have forgotten about the slashed limits.

    Got a 2000 on spending 53000. Probably will have to skip it this time, had managed to meet the targets in the last 3 months.
    I have a question on the fullfillment, do they send SMS or also email for the voucher code? When I was eligible for the Payzapp offer in March, the info was send only through SMS… There is a chance of the messing getting lost due to network and other issue if it is SMS only…

    Have a question. Just received the redemption details for the April offer today. But when I click on the ‘Get it’ option and enter the given code in the field and submit, it is saying captcha verification is mandatory. The thing is that there is no captcha on the page! HDFC’s tech system really is terrible! Anyone has any idea how to navigate the same?

      Just to up date my previous comment. Eventually the recaptcha made an appearance as I kept trying again and again. On the 20th or 25th attempt, it appeared. Had further hitches with receiving the voucher, had to get 3 vouchers, only 2 codes arrived on sms and the mail never came. Had to call up Gyftr and they resend the 3 vouchers on both email and SMS.
      Think HDFC is still some away from getting the RBI clearance. Their systems need serious look in. And while at it, hopefully they will also make available the Android and IOS apps to credit card only users as well.
