How HDFC MoneyBack Plus Credit Card Reward Point Calculated?
Let’s Take an Example :
If the cardholder spends ₹20,000 in calendar month cycle with following break up of spends
- Spends on 5 – merchants: ₹10,000
- Other Spends: ₹5,000
- Fuel Spends: ₹2,000
- EMI Purchase: ₹3,000
Out of these Fuel spends won’t be rewarded CashPoints.
Thus, the total spends eligible for CashPoints would be ₹10,000 + ₹5,000 + ₹3,000 = ₹18,000
The CashPoints earned for the billing cycle in example would be calculated as follows:
- 10X CashPoints of ₹10,000 = 1,320
- 5X CashPoints on EMI transaction of ₹3,000 = 200
- 2 CashPoints per ₹150 of ₹5,000 = 66
Thus, the total CashPoints for the example would be 1,586. This will be posted in the card account.
