    1. So which is best HDFC Moneyback+ rupay variant or the Tata Neu Plus rupay variant as LTF offer, I don’t use the Tata Neu app or shop on none of the Tata brands on any basis so which would be better I also looking to use UPI on rupay does moneyback+ rupay variant is supported on UPI scan payments and also will be trying to get millennia in future so which would be better for this purpose moneyback + rupay or neu plus, also unable to find rupay while trying to apply for card is the moneyback rupay variant still available in HDFC, this would really help full

        1. Thanks for your reply.
          Thanks, but with money back plus they are telling you could update to millennia in 1 year, with tata neu plus upgrade is it possible to get other cards or only upgrade to tata neu infinite, in the future,
          If that is a possible upgrade to other non-co-branded cards within HDFC after some time with tata neu plus care. The reply would be so helpful

          1. Card Maven

            You need to apply a second HDFC Bank credit card for getting a non co-branded credit card other than Tata Neu.
