IDFC First Bank has made an announcement that is likely to affect its Credit Card holders. The bank will discontinue the milestone benefits associated with its Club Vistara Credit Card on March 31, 2025. This means that cardholders will no longer be able to earn certain rewards and benefits from that date onwards.
Although customers will still be able to earn Maharaja Points until March 31, 2026, the card will eventually be phased out. This change also has implications for the Club Vistara Silver Membership, which will no longer be available.
As a result of this change,cardholders will also lose access to certain complimentary vouchers, including Premium Economy Ticket and class upgrade vouchers. These benefits were previously available to cardholders, and their discontinuation is likely to disappoint many cardholders.
IDFC First Bank has not provided reasons for this change, but it is not uncommon for banks to discontinue certain benefits or products to simplify their offerings and focus on more popular or profitable ones. For cardholders, this change may mean that they need to explore alternative credit cards or rewards programs to get the benefits they are currently enjoying.
It is essential for cardholders to review their credit card agreements and understand the terms and conditions, including any potential changes to benefits and rewards. They should also consider alternative options that can provide similar benefits to stay on top of their financial rewards and benefits.
