What We Like

• Widest partner coverage. Amazon, Flipkart, BookMyShow, Swiggy, Zomato, Myntra, Uber, Sony LIV, Tata CLiQ — basically everywhere you spend online.
• Easy fee waiver. ₹1 lakh/year (₹8,333/month) is very achievable for most cardholders.
• Lounge access at entry-level pricing. One free domestic lounge visit per quarter is a rare perk at this fee level.
• HDFC ecosystem benefits. SmartBuy portal, PayZapp integration, and strong customer service.

What Could Be Better

• CashPoints, not direct cashback. 1 CashPoint = ₹1 only for statement credit. Redemption via catalogue or miles gives worse value (0.30 per point).
• 1,000 CashPoints cap on non-partner spends. Base earning is limited.
• Lounge access needs ₹1L/quarter spending. That’s ₹33,333/month — high for entry-level users.

Who Should Get This Card?

• People who shop regularly on Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, and order from Swiggy/Zomato
• Anyone wanting a single card that covers most online spending categories
• Users looking for a reliable HDFC Bank credit card as their primary card

Our Verdict

The HDFC Millennia is the best all-rounder credit card in India. Its partner list covers 90% of where Indians spend online. The fee is reasonable and easy to waive. If you can only have one credit card, this is it.

Rating: 4.5/5 — Best all-purpose online shopping card.
