Bottom Line

HDFC Bank, which already has a lot of credit cards in its portfolio, has now added two more co-branded cards, both in different categories. The Flipkart Wholesale HDFC Credit Card can be considered a great choice for those who often make purchases from Flipkart Wholesale. However, those who prefer Flipkart’s standard platform for making their purchases should consider the Flipkart Axis Bank Credit Card which comes with a similar annual fee and offers great privileges.

Talking about the Pharmeasy Credit Card, it can help you save a lot if you are loyal to the Pharmeasy platform. It is especially beneficial for those who are Pharmeasy plus members as it offers double cash back to them. Other than this, the cardholders can earn a 3% cashback on a lot of other popular brands, which is another great feature of this card. Therefore, if you think that any one of these two cards matches your requirements or spending behaviour, you must apply for it now without any further delay.

    The pharmeasy card looks attractive to me. I spend 20-23k on thyrocare twice a year, and ~2k per month on family’s medicine.
    Earlier the best way would have been with a sbi cashback, or with tata neu infinity on 1mg since pharmeasy or any other health vendor isn’t on smartbuy/gyftr/edgerewards
