For full terms and conditions, consult the official offer details provided by HDFC Bank. The credit card benefit can be valuable on premium HDFC Mastercard products because the 5X multiplier can translate to up to 500 points under the promotion cap. The debit card cashback is modest, capped at Rs. 50, so its impact is limited unless you have multiple qualifying transactions.
Note that this promotion applies specifically to Mastercard variants. Cardholders with Visa variants may not be eligible for the same benefits, since promotions are often tied to the card network.
If you plan to use this offer, ensure your Tap n Pay transactions meet the minimum per-transaction spend and transaction count requirements during the offer period to qualify for rewards or cashback. Keep records of qualifying transactions and check your account after the 90-day fulfilment window for credited rewards or cashback.
