Now you can transfer the balance of any of your other bank’s credit cards to your IDFC FIRST credit card and not only enjoy a lower interest rate, but also earn 10X Reward Points (10 Reward Points per Rs. 100) on the transferred amount.
Offer Details
| The Offer | Earn 10X Reward Points (10 Reward Points per Rs. 100) on the balance transferred to IDFC FIRST Credit Card. |

Under this Balance Transfer offer, you earn 10X Reward Points (10 Reward Points per Rs. 100) on the balance amount transferred from any of your other bank’s credit cards to your IDFC FIRST credit card. Since 1 Reward Point is equivalent to Rs. 0.25, you get a value back of 2.5% on availing of the balance transfer facility (the value back =1.5% if we also account for the 1% processing fee) on your IDFC FIRST credit card. The offer is valid till 30th November 2021 and the Reward Points earned under the offer shall be credited within 60 days after the offer end date (i.e. till 29th January 2022).
As an example, let’s say you transfer Rs. 10,000 from one of your other bank’s credit cards to your IDFC FIRST credit card, you will earn 1,000 Reward Points under this offer. Since 1 Reward Point = Rs. 0.25, you get a value back of Rs. 250 on the transferred amount. But since you also paid a processing fee of Rs. 100 (1% of Rs. 10,000), the value back that you effectively get on availing of the Balance Transfer facility of your IDFC FIRST credit card = Rs. 150 (effective reward rate = 1.5%).

Bottom Line
If you are unable to clear your credit card dues and are paying interest on the balance amount, this is a very good opportunity to not only save on the interest that you are currently paying but also earn Reward Points on the transferred amount. Since the 1 Reward Point is monetarily equivalent to Rs. 0.25 and you also pay 1% of the transaction amount at processing fee, you effectively get a reward rate of 1.5% on transferring the balance from one of your other bank’s credit cards to your IDFC FIRST Credit Card.
