As the festive season approaches, Swiggy has introduced a new travel benefit for its Swiggy HDFC Bank Credit Card customers. The benefit offers an instant 6% discount on domestic and international flight and bus bookings made via Paytm Travel. This exclusive offer applies to both flights and intercity bus journeys and is available to all existing and new cardholders. According to Anurag Panganamamula, Vice President – Growth, Swiggy Ltd., the benefit is aimed at urban Indians who are spending more on travel, and it extends the rewards offered by the Swiggy HDFC Bank Credit Card to the travel category.
The Swiggy HDFC Bank Credit Card already offers several benefits, including 10% cashback on spends on the Swiggy platform, 5% cashback on online spends, and 1% cashback on other categories. Cardholders are also eligible for a complimentary Swiggy One Membership for 3 months on card activation. The card’s rewards translate to an annual savings of Rs 42,000, and select users can avail exclusive offers for a limited period on either a lifetime free card or a first-year free card.
The card has a joining fee/renewal membership fee of Rs 500/- + applicable charges, which can be waived off on spends of Rs 2,00,000 or more in a year. To be eligible for the card, salaried Indian nationals must be between 21 and 60 years old and have a net monthly income of over Rs 15,000. Self-employed Indian nationals must be between 21 and 65 years old and have an ITR of over Rs 6 lakhs per annum.
Vikash Jalan, CEO, Paytm Travel, said that the partnership with Swiggy combines Paytm’s seamless travel booking experience with the benefits of the Swiggy HDFC Bank Credit Card, delivering instant savings and convenience to customers. The new benefit is now live, just in time for the holiday season, and is expected to make the Swiggy HDFC Bank Credit Card even more rewarding for its customers. With its expanded benefits, the card is likely to appeal to a wider range of customers who value convenience, savings, and exclusive offers.
