The INFINIA Credit Card from HDFC Bank is an invite-only card that gives a very attractive 3.3% effective reward rate on all spending.
It has a high annual fee of ₹12,500, which is waived on charging more than ₹10 lacs to the card in a year.
The INFINIA also offers a number of other best-in-class benefits such as unlimited global lounge access and unlimited golf games at selected courses in India.
We estimate this card has a net reward yield of 3.3% if you spend more than ₹1 Lacs with the card each month.
That makes INFINIA the best credit card from HDFC Bank for high-spenders and one of the best credit cards in India. If you can get an invite for this card and can comfortably charge ₹1 lacs+ each month you should sign-up for this card.
However, because it is invite-only, it is not our recommended credit card from HDFC Bank despite having the highest net reward yield of all cards from the Bank.
Consider the Millennia Credit Card if you spend less than ₹50,000 a month on your card.
It offers a net reward yield of 2.3-2.7% on spending up to ₹50,000.
If you spend less than ₹10,000 a month on your card, also consider the Bharat Credit Card with a yield of 1.9-2.4%.
If you spend more than ₹50,000 a month on your credit card, we recommend the 6E Rewards XL – Indigo HDFC Bank Credit Card. We estimate it offers a net reward yield of 2.0-2.2% for high spenders.
Our list of the best credit cards in India, at every spending level and from every bank, is here. You can find a detailed discussion of our methodology here.
