Summary

Looks like a basic credit card with basic features. Nothing exciting 🙁  

HDFC MoneyBack Credit card is better than HDFC Platinum Edge credit card  or HDFC Titanium Edge credit card

 

In fact, I would rather go for HDFC Bank Regalia First Credit Card or HDFC Bank Diners Club Miles Credit Card.

There are many credit cards offered by HDFC bank with different features including discount on movies, groceries, dining as well as air travel and hotels, free international and domestic lounge access. Some of the cards offers redemption rewards equivalent to 13%-33% cashback, that’s pretty amazing. See list of all credit cards offered by HDFC Bank and check which one you should go for.
