We estimate this card can earn you a net reward yield of 0.9-1.4% on all your spending in a month.

The HPCL IDFC FIRST Power+ Credit Card is the best entry level credit card from IDFC First Bank. It offers a net reward yield of 1.2 – 2.0% on monthly spending up to ₹20,000.

The FIRST Wealth Credit Card is the best high end credit card for IDFC FIRST Bank customers with a net reward yield of 1.1 – 2.1% on monthly spending above ₹20,000.

For the first ₹30,000 spent in a month, this card gives effective rewards of 1.5% for all online purchases while offline spending earns 0.75%, for an average net reward yield of 1.1%.

All spending in excess of this amount each month earns a flat 2.50% reward, resulting in a net reward yield of almost 2.5% if you charge more than ₹1 lacs in a month.
