How to milk the benefits?

• If you use it on smartbuy only then 5% upto 400 (card benefits) + 5% upto 1000 (smartbuy bonus), total 1400 RP/month you'll be getting. Since Smartbuy charging convenience fees on AGV & ASV, better to buy Flipkart GV without convenience fee on smartbuy.
• For example, if you buy Flipkart GV worth 8k via Smartbuy with Millennia DC, you'll get 400 + 400 = 800 cashback, meaning 10% cashback on Flipkart GV.
• In another example, if you buy worth 20k, you'll get 1400 cashback, meaning 7% cashback on Flipkart GV. So buy accordingly as per your needs.
• If you use Millennia DC for 40k CC Payments worth 40k via Mobikwik, Paytm etc only, then 1% upto 400 cap will be over & you'll get 5% cashback upto 1000 if you purchase any GV via Smartbuy now.

Hope you've understood the benefits & enjoy the rewards ❤️. Ask if any query.

Apologies if this has already been asked before, is there any HDFC savings account variant that will help me get this debit card free?

I am eligible to upgrade to classic variant, should I opt for it to get this debit card annual fee waived?

See this calculation

Savings Max is great (I have considered millennia here)


According to me ,


Option 1:
- You keep 25k in a savings max account earning 3% interest per annum.
- This yields an annual return of 750 Rs.
- Additionally, there's a savings of 590 Rs dc charges ( millennia)
- So, the total return for Option 1 is 750 + 590 = 1340 Rs per year.

Option 2:
- You keep 5k in a savings account earning 3% interest per annum.(Regular rural)
- This yields an annual return of 150 Rs.
- You invest 20k in a fixed deposit (FD) earning 8.5% interest for 12 months.(E.g Jana bank)
- The FD generates an interest of 20,000 * 8.5% = 1700 Rs for the year.(I did simple intrest )
- You incur a debit card fee of 590 Rs.
- So, the total return for Option 2 is 150 + 1700 - 590 = 1260 Rs for the year.

Comparing the two options:
- Option 1 offers a total return of 1340 Rs per year.
- Option 2 offers a total return of 1260 Rs for the year.
- Therefore, Option 1 is best

Classic is not a type of account but bank relationship/membership.

If you maintain 1lac+ balance in any type of savings account whether max, normal, woman or any other then you are offered/upgraded to classic membership.

It's just a simple method of hdfc to identify High Networth Individuals (HNI).

There is no downside in upgrading to classic rather it's beneficial, all normal charges/fee that bank levies are waived in classic account.

You can read more benefits of classic membership from this page : https://www.hdfcbank.com/personal/save/high-networth-banking/premier-banking/classic

If you maintain 5lac+ balance then you will be offered preferred banking.

What was your source of this misinformation?
This is literally the correct answer 👇🏻
The thing is HDFC folks from Watchmen to bm all say this ki millennia is paid

But reality is opposite
