You'll receive cashback in the form of "Swiggy Money," and it will be valid for one year from the date of earning the cashback.

You can redeem your Swiggy Money earned via the Swiggy HDFC Bank Credit Card on the Swiggy application on the following Swiggy platforms:
  • Food ordering
  • Instamart
  • Dineout
  • Genie
Eligibility Criteria:
  • Indian Resident
Salaried:
  • Age: 21 to 60 years
  • Income: Rs. 25,000 Per month or more.
Self-Employed:
  • Age: 21 to 65 years
  • Income: ITR Of Rs. 6,00,000 or more.
Application Link: https://bit.ly/TFHDFCSW

This is a very basic credit card with its main benefit lying in its reward system. By spending Rs. 15,000 a month on the Swiggy app, you can earn Rs. 1500 cashback. Additionally, you can earn 5% cashback from various online websites like Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, Online Medicine Ordering Websites, and others listed under MCCs (Merchant Category Codes).

If you spend Rs. 10,000 on Swiggy (for food and grocery delivery) and Rs. 15,000 on other 5% merchants (Amazon/Flipkart/Myntra/Online Medicine/etc) per month, you can earn a total of Rs. 1,750 cashback each month. That's Rs. 21,000 cashback in a year against Rs. 3 lakh worth of spends, which is equivalent to 7% cashback.

However, the only drawback of this credit card is that you can only redeem your cashback on the Swiggy app, limited to food delivery, dining, grocery delivery, or Swiggy Genie (local parcel delivery). If you are comfortable with this type of redemption, this card is a good choice. Otherwise, if you prefer real cashback, you may want to consider the HDFC Bank Millennia Credit Card or other credit cards in the same category.

Even I order a lot from Swiggy but still this doesn't make sense to me. There are other good cards available which provide real 5% cashback.
If Swiggy Money Usage is restricted to Food orders only, Like RBl Zomato then it is a big bummer.

Swiggy Instamart is also there for Utilization of Swiggy Money.

Even if we consider we are utilizing Cashback for our Swiggy orders, the net return is still 5-10%= 4.5% or
10-10%=9%

Who do not have Cashback SBI, like you still this Card make sense.

For a Normal Spender 5% Capping is Good

HDFC Handipicked MCCs Quite Well.
All the MCCs of day to day spends are included by HDFC for 5% Cashback.

Only Bummer is that

MCC 5411-Grocery and Supermarket which is used by most of the Grocery Selling Paltforms is not included in 5% Category. Hence indirectly Forcing us to use Swiggy Instamart for Grocery needs.

and

10% Capping is too Low. If Swiggy is expecting us to spend for Groceries on Swiggy Instamart than Cashback Capping should be 2500/Billing Cycle.

With HDFC Swiggy CC hasn't the bank taken away sheen from Millinea which was a good cashback card?

I can guarantee, you'll save more and earn 2% with Axis ace if you simply shop groceries at Dmart. For a 7k bill everymonth, I'll save atlest 2000-2500 on the bill and 2% with Axis ace.

While instamart has some discounts it isn't as big as Dmart and I rather trust loose items like rice, sugar, rava and other flour items and bean items at Dmart compared to pricey packets that instamart sells.
