HDFC Bank has devalued the discount customers could avail earlier with the premium Infinia Credit Card for dining via Swiggy Dineout. Cardholders shall now get up to a 10% discount of up to ₹500 on a minimum transaction of ₹3,500. Earlier, HDFC Bank Infinia Credit Card was offering a much higher discount of 15% upto ₹1,000, a minimum transaction of ₹2,500. The bank has also further reduced the discount that could be availed on a minimum transaction of ₹8,000.
| New |
| Discount 10% Up to ₹500 (Minimum Bill – ₹3,500) |
| Discount 10% Up to ₹750 (Minimum Bill – ₹8,000) |
While this change might be accepted as a devaluation by many, it’s best to keep in mind that HDFC Bank does have a co-branded credit card, with Swiggy now offering a much higher discount than Infinia.
Bottom Line
The revision in the discount offer represents a significant reduction in the benefits provided by the Infinia Credit Card through Swiggy Dineout. This change highlights the advantages of having a Swiggy HDFC Credit Card, which offers a straightforward 10% discount (cap of ₹1,500) on purchases made through the Swiggy app.
Many users are unhappy with this sudden and uninformed change. These discounts made dining experiences quite affordable and memorable. This devaluation comes at a time when it was recently discovered that HDFC Bank has discontinued its Global Value Program.
