The Infinia Credit Card is the most premium product offered by the HDFC bank. Recently, HDFC relaunched the Infinia Credit Card in the metallic variant (all new issuances of the card will now be on the metallic variant). It is an invite-only card as HDFC is targeting HNIs (High Net-Worth Individuals) with this card who want a luxurious lifestyle. The card offers exclusive privileges like 24*7 concierge services, access to premium golf destinations, and attractive dining benefits at some of the country’s most premium restaurant chains. All these benefits put this card in direct competition with ICICI Bank Emeralde Credit Card, Citibank Prestige Card, and Standard Chartered Ultimate Credit Card. Keeping the international traveling needs of its premium customers in consideration, HDFC offers a lower foreign currency exchange rate of 2% and a complimentary membership to the Priority Pass program with this card. HDFC Infinia Metal is a Reward Points-based card: you earn 5 Reward Points for every Rs. 150 spent using this card. Although the membership fee for this card is slightly on the higher side, Rs. 12,500/annum, is most certainly worth it and it can be the card of preference for you if you’re someone who is financially stable and can not compromise with your lifestyle needs.
