Note that business cards such as the HDFC Business Regalia are not eligible for this offer. Personal premium cards like Diners Club Premium remain eligible and can benefit from the promotion.
HDFC 2X Reward Points Weekend Offer Details
• Maximum cap: 1,000 reward points for Saturdays and 1,000 reward points for Sundays each (a useful limit).
• Validity: 3rd September 2016 – 30th November 2016 (may be extended).
• Reward points will be posted to eligible customers after 60 days from the transaction month.
• 2X reward points apply on all retail spends charged to eligible cards.

• Offer is valid on HDFC Bank retail credit cards; Corporate, commercial, and business cards are excluded.
It’s unclear whether this promotion can be combined with other card-specific multipliers such as Diners Club 10X rewards or dining-specific offers; such stacking is not explicitly confirmed in the terms.
Online vs. in-store: The terms do not explicitly restrict the offer to in-store purchases, so online retail transactions appear likely to qualify. However, the offer is listed under “in-store offers” on the HDFC SmartBuy site, so treatment of online spends may vary.
Note on visibility: Many short-term HDFC promotions are not heavily advertised and are often posted quietly on the SmartBuy portal. Keep an eye on that area for new or extended offers.
To maximize rewards, concentrate discretionary spending on weekends during the offer period. Depending on your card, this can meaningfully increase your effective savings—for example, cards with higher base reward rates will see the greatest benefit.
