† Tata Neu Infinity HDFC Bank: NeuCoins are a fixed ₹1 currency, but a Tata-locked one: you can spend them at Tata Neu and Tata brands and nowhere else — no airline or hotel transfer partners. ₹1 is both the value and the ceiling, and since Aug-2025 they expire 12 months after the month you earn them.

† HDFC Bank Millennia: Millennia's CashPoints are worth ₹1 each — but only against the statement, only above a 500-point minimum, only 3,000 points a calendar month, and only after a ₹50 redemption fee HDFC added on 1 August 2024. Point them at travel and they collapse to ₹0.30: that is the rate on SmartBuy flights and hotels, on the rewards catalogue, and on Airmiles, and the catalogue route adds ₹99 + taxes of handling on top. Flight and hotel bookings can absorb at most 50% of the fare in points, capped at 50,000 points a month. There is no transfer partner — this currency does not reach an airline programme at all.

Our value per point is what we think a point is worth when you use it well; every currency's figure and its reasoning is on points values.

How we work out the yearly value

We put each card through the same everyday mix of spending, apply that card's own rules for each kind of spend (some earn nothing on fuel or bills), add its milestone and renewal bonuses at our value per point, and take off the fee unless that spend waives it. Bonus categories that need you to shop a certain way are not counted. Your own mix will differ: try your numbers in the calculator, or read how we value cards.
