It’s been more than ~2 years since i got a spend based offer on HDFC Credit Cards. Finally i got one on my HDFC Diners black credit card for January 2019. Unfortunately that email only said i need to spend Rs.X amount but didn’t say what voucher I’ll get.
This time though, it came with proper format of spend Rs.X to get Rs.Y Voucher from the set of brands. Here’s a quick look into the offer,
Rs.5000 Voucher Offer Details
- Type: Targeted, Spend based
- Spend Threshold: Personalised
- My Offer: Get Rs.5000 Voucher on Spending Rs.1L
- Offer Period: 1st Feb – 28th Feb 2019.
- Only those customers who received the communication is eligible for the offer
- Fulfilment: May 2019
- Effective Savings: 8.3% (5% as voucher + 3.3% as points )
- Offer T&C
While 8.3% is an amazing reward rate, only issue with HDFC is the fulfilment. I hope it happens smooth this time. I’ll keep this thread updated on the same.
Bottomline
HDFC has one of the complex AI in place that doesn’t easily allow us to figure out what triggers these kind of offers. That said, I’m happy to see spend based offers to be back on HDFC credit Cards.
Looking at the previous interaction on this topic with other readers, I assume this has been sent for many cardholders.
Did you receive the spend based offer on HDFC credit Cards? Feel free to share your experience in the comments below.
I didn’t receive any spend based offer. Maybe got upgraded card recently.
Still waiting to recieve one.
They might need sometime to analyze the spend pattern.
Dear Siddharth, has anyone or you received the fulfilment for this Feb 2020 offer ? As today is the 90 day timeline for the said offer as cut off date was feb 29th.
Yes, received yesterday (28th May)
I have not received. Kindly advice what should I do ? You got through sms or email ?
Can u help me.
I received the message, but I accidentally deleted it. I remember there is customer care number in that message. can u forward the message u received, without the secret code ofcourse.
Can u send that message, with out the secret code.
Jan voucher received on 26th May and Feb voucher on 28th May. As far as i can understand they only send SMS, no email. So go through yours messages.
Whom to contact if SMS sent by HDFC got deleted for vouchers email ?
I got this offer in Jan on both my cards. Rs 30000 on one card and Rs 50000 on the other. But there was no mention of the value of the GV.
You hold 2 hdfc credit cards? How?
I also hold two HDFC credit cards – Regalia First and DCB. Have been holding Regalia First from few years and then wanted DCB since I was eligible. Requested my relationship manager to retain Regalia First since DCB is not accepted everywhere. They increased my credit limit on Regalia First for a month and then gave me DCB with the proportionate credit limit.
I received for my Diners Premium card. Spend 30k & get 3500 worth Flipkart/Lifestyle/Bigbazaar/Bookmyshow voucher. First came sms which had all details then came email too which did not have spends threshold.
Last month too same offer had come. Problem is getting the credit of benefit from HDFC as they have habit of forgetting offers after sending.
Typo : Offer Period: 1st Feb – 28th Feb Jan 2019.
Typo fixed.
Btw, did you get the offer in Feb even after reaching the target in Jan?
Ironically yes. Now the major headache part is will they honour or not?
They’ll definitely honour the email.
@Sid
received same offer, same diners card, now March month
“Earn EXTRA on HDFC Bank CreditCard xxxx! Spend Rs.30,000 & get a Flipkart/Lifestyle/BigBazaar/BMS voucher of Rs.3,500 Validity: 31st Mar’19 hdfcbk.net/ed55MLk T&C” Source
🙂
what is the email adress by which hdfc send these offers?
Can we check with call center regarding the offer, since I haven’t received the mail?
Yes, you can.
I have received this for my Regalia Card :
Earn EXTRA on HDFC Bank CreditCard XXXX ! Spend Rs.50000 & get a Flipkart/Lifestyle/BigBazaar/BMS voucher of Rs.5000 Validity: 28th Feb’19.
10% reward rate. Cool.
I too received 3500 on 30000 both in Jan and feb .I did spend more than 30k in Jan I hope they Honor the offer for Jan as well
I haven’t received the voucher for the Nov spend based offer. Lets see, the problem is one has to follow up for these offers.
Mee too received same offer , spend ₹1 lakh and get voucher worth ₹5000
Hi, I got 5000 offer for 50k spend. The question is do they consider online spend as well for this or only pos transactions.
All spends.
I havent received any offer on both regalia and dcb. May be my average spends have been more in last 6 months.
I have recently applied for the card. In month of Jan – I have spent ~70000. However, I haven’t got any communication till now
Never get any emails from HDFC. Customer care cannot help.
For the same card i got one more offer. Rs.500 gift voucher for you!
To avail, continue using Credit Card 4 times till March on any 3 categories: Fuel,Dining,Grocery,Utility,Movies
bit.ly/mcclt3 T&C
Mine is spent 35k and get 3500 gift voucher on diners.
Received a spend based offer as notification from ICICI for the month of Feb citing flat 1,500/- cash back upon spend of 30,000/-
Says cash back shall be fulfilled on or before 31st May,2019
No offfer on JET WORLD or REGALIA FIRST
I got 3.5k for 30k offer in my Regalia First Card.
There earlier Payment Holiday Offer was also great going with almost 2-3 months of holiday from payment.
I received one in the month of November for Rs. 500 BookMyShow Voucher on spend of 25000 in one month. i did spend more than 45000 but never received that voucher. I still have that mail but I never inquired with HDFC.
Though on an another instance in the month of December i received 2 Amazon vouchers worth Rs. 400 from HDFC, that too without any mail or offer.
I got the same msgs for my regalia. In Jan they didn’t mention what I will get. But now 5k voucher for 50k
Did any one got voucher for Feb month when we can expect the voucher
I got an offer of the century — spend 39K for Rs. 200 voucher. Had to read it several times to believe it..
I got one such from Yesbank 😀
Same thing Here 😂 : Spend Rs 23000 till 28th February and get Rs. 200 voucher of your choice 😂
Even worse , spend 129000 from 1st to 28th Feb to get 500 INR BMS Voucher. !! And there is a long T&C for even getting that. Completely ignored the email.
Feel this is the whole intent of the promotion. Encourage people with lesser spend by giving higher values vouchers. My spends have been high enough with HDFC. May be thats why I got such an offer.
Offer of the century because you got a targeted offer from HDFC for first time ever and not because of the reward rate!! Right 😛
Bro , 2.26L spending for a 500rs BMS voucher , went straight to the bin 😂
I too got a 3.5k voucher for 30k spend.
Do we need to phone them and request for specific voucher or will they be sending a default one? Any ideas
Thanks
I am not counting on this HDFC offer. I too received 30k/3.5k offer. They have mentioned that the voucher will be sent in May, that’s a 3 months waiting period!
That’s enough time for HDFC to forget about this offer.
I had a 5k BigBasket spend today, chose to go with my SBI Prime, getting a cool 3.75% return.
HDFC needs to improve their game!
Hey, I have a HDFC Moneyback card (please don’t roll your eyes). I had no idea its so bad..But suddenly I too got an offer on it – Spend Rs. 20000/- between 1st to 28th Feb and get a Rs. 2000/- voucher of flipkart/ lifestyle/big bazaar/ BMS voucher – Will get in May 2019. Reward rate of 10%.
Actually HDFC has been good till now with offer fulfillment. They have this offer of Rs. 50000/- spends per quarter (on moneyback card) and you get a Rs. 500 voucher of Myntra/flipkart. I have availed offer in Q4 2018 and used the coupons. My redemption and freedom from this card will be this Feb offer and I then am gonna dump this card.
Recently had applied for HDFC Black Diners Club credit card, I was been told that I need to have an existing relationship with the bank to apply for this credit card. I can’t imagine that I will have to open an savings account first!!!
Even if this might not be true, not having a HDFC Savings account should not come in between you and DCB. Too precious to give a skip!! 😀
Walk away with pride , savings account opening is the RMs way to fulfill his targets … if you bow down to opening the savings account , in future you may be pressured to maintain preferred/ imperia level relationship
But if you really want the DCB card , apply via a branch towards end of the month , simply start walking away when opening a account is mentioned .. if RM is desperate, he will put the application is process without the savings account
HDFC has sent offer on my Regalia card
Spend 180,000 get 2000 bonus points
LOL
Their automated systems forget that such high spending for such poor reward can’t induce more spends
I got an email last night promising me 5000 bonus points for spends of Rs.395,000/- between Feb. 1-28 on my Clubmiles card. How come points instead of vouchers?
Furthermore, it says that eligible spends are ‘retail spends.’ Does that mean that online transactions won’t be counted?
Retail includes online spends.
Retail Spends covers all spends ie Online & Offline but excludes SmartEMI, Insta Loan, Insta Jumbo loan, Balance transfer etc.
Hi Sid,
I have also got this offer of Rs. 5000 voucher on spend of Rs. 100000. I have already spent 100000 till feb 18 on smartbuy/10x partners on my DCB card. Will this spend be eligible for this targeted offer.
I got offer
Spend Rs. 19000 per month till 31st March with your HDFC Bank Credit Card xxxx and get Rs. 200 voucher of your choice from
Flipkart /lifestyle /Bigbazar /BMS
Hi Sid,
I am thinking to apply for DCB, I see an option to apply online.
As per HDFC site –
Annual Membership fee – Rs. 5000 + Applicable TaxesWelcome Benefit of 5,000 Reward Points and renewal benefit of 5000 Reward Points (applicable only after the membership fee is realized and not applicable when the fee is waived off)* Terms & Conditions ApplySpend Rs. 5L in 12 Months and get Renewal Fee waived for next renewal year.
As per BankBazaar –
Joining fee is still 10,000 and it gets waived off if we spend 1 L in first 90days. Plus we get 1000 Rs Amazon voucher.
I already have Regalia with limit of 6L+ and can manage to spend 5L easily on DCB with NPS and Insurance and regular spends. Now regalia also have milestone on 5 L and 8 Lac and return comes more then 3%.
Should I go for DCB ? I don’t want to surrender Regalia card.
Got 500 voucher on 27k
As anyway paying rent via card, so might qualify. Let’s see.
Not too attractive offer tbh
Hi Siddharth,
I believe you have a lot of cards and to carry and store them you must be using card holder and wallets. Can you review some. I was just looking for something compact and exclusive, ordered some from Amazon and returned as felt they aren’t up to the mark.
Siddarth, it woudl be great if you review some good card holders too.
Sure. Will do.
@siddarth
will you guide me to how to proceed for my CC upgradation from diners premium to DCB.
1. my last 12 month expenditure on CC is more than 13 lakh. and gross monthly income is 1.25 L approx.
2. My limit is 2.5L and i have this card from last 1& half yr.
3. Currently one upgradation is showing for clubmiles but this will half my all hard yearnd RP.
4. Is it cumpolsary for DCB to upgrade first in clubmiles.
Same case for me
Siddharth, can you please suggest the path ahead.
I too received same offer , spend ₹1 lakh and get voucher worth ₹5000 for consecutively for both Jan and Feb months. I didn’t spend in Jan but for Feb it has crossed with a single swipe.
Sid, I am a HDFC Bank preffered customer.
I got my HDFC Bank Insta Mastercard Platinum Debit Card, replace with old default VISA Platinum one.
Will I be able to access domestic lounges from now with my HDFC Bank Mastercard Platinum debit card?
Kindly let me know.
Thanks in advance.
Infinia cardholders are not eligible for this offer or probably card holders with high usage (already) are not receiving these offers.
This offer(s) is certainly to promote spending on your cards.
Not received the Rs 500 bookmyshow voucher for Nov. spends…and have not received any offer in Jan & Feb.
Diners club added lounge in Ahmedabad Airport, both terminals
Spend Rs. 84000 per month till 31st March with your HDFC Bank Credit Card xxxx and get Rs. 500 voucher of your choice from Flipkart /lifestyle /Bigbazar /BMS.

No i believe they aren’t. Lol…
Got offer of 1000 voucher on 11000 spend on regalia first
I received a mail with subject
Confidential Your Gift Voucher from HDFC Bank Credit Card.
Mail says,

Claim the Voucher of your choice from the below mentioned brands by 31 Mar 2019
Your Unique Password: Xxxxxxxx

I didn’t receive any mail before so I don’t know really my target spend, I spent 85000 in February.
I am a preferred account holder of HDFC and hold a Regalia card. My Regalia CL is 8L. Which HDFC card should I upgrade next to. And also how should I ensure that I get eligible for this upgrade. Dos and Donts pls.
@curious
cash redemption of reward point is available in regalia card or not. please reply accordingly i will make my decision for upgrading.
No cash redemption for Regalia card
@ab There is no cash redemption in Regalia. You have to use it against flight/hotels or some other options available on their website.
You’ll get an offer to upgrade to Infinia. Keep a close watch on the upgrade offer @ your netbanking page, Curious!
Got offer of 5000 voucher on 50000 spend on regalia first
December offer should be honoured by now as today is 31st March and they said by 31st March. For me they didn’t.
Anyone got the coupon code ?
I received one BMS coupon worth 500 for Diwali Offer last week
Any idea how to enable these targeted offers from HDFC? I get only the statements, and nothing else.
Hi there,
I didn’t rcvd any voucher for my spent in Dec and Jan its around 12k+ can anyone suggest how to check it.
Many thanks

31/05/2019 is the date of Fulfilment of this offer. I was waiting for Rs.5000 voucher on spends of Rs.50000 for the month February 2019. But till now I have not received the voucher. Today when I contacted their phone banking, they asked me to mail the details and request for voucher thru email to customerservices.cards [@] hdfcbank.com . I have done the same. Lets see!
I have not received either. I have contacted via Phone and email as well, got usual response we will send the voucher soon.
Has anyone received the vouchers?
I’m loosing confidence on HDFC as they fail to fulfill their commitments mostly nowadays.
Oh man i received these offers 6+ times and I almost always fullfilled them but never received the vouchers.
How do I follow up? I have the screenshots of the msgs and the TnCs.
What is retail spends means? Does it cover insurance premium payment?
What is mean by retail spends? Does it cover insurance premium payment?

Request customer care team over the call. they will fetch the same from the back end team over their internal email and then provide the same to you over the call in hopefully 5-7 days.
