Features of HDFC Swiggy Credit Card
- 1. Three-Month Free Membership:
- Swiggy One Membership: Upon card activation, cardholders receive a complimentary three-month Swiggy One Membership, a premium subscription program valued for its cost-saving benefits. Swiggy One offers unlimited free deliveries on food orders and Instamart purchases, exclusive discounts on select restaurants, and additional perks on Dineout and Genie services.
- Membership Extension: For cardholders with an existing Swiggy One Membership, the three-month period is added to their current subscription, extending its validity.
- Activation Requirements: To avail of this benefit, the card must be linked to the Swiggy app within 2-3 days of activation, and activation requires actions like making a transaction, setting a PIN, or enabling online/international transactions via OTP or IVR.
- 2. Contactless Payment Convenience:
- Fast and Secure Transactions: The HDFC Swiggy Credit Card is enabled for contactless payments, allowing cardholders to make quick and secure transactions at retail outlets. In India, contactless payments up to ₹5,000 per transaction do not require a PIN, enhancing convenience for small purchases. For transactions exceeding ₹5,000, a PIN is mandatory for added security. This feature aligns with modern payment trends, ensuring a seamless checkout experience at stores equipped with contactless payment terminals.

- Interest-Free Credit Period:
- Up to 50 Days of Flexibility: Cardholders benefit from an interest-free credit period of up to 50 days from the date of purchase, provided the merchant submits the charge promptly.

This flexibility is particularly useful for frequent Swiggy users who may consolidate their food and grocery spends on the card.
- Revolving Credit Facility:
- Nominal Interest Rate Option: The card offers a revolving credit facility, enabling cardholders to carry forward a portion of their outstanding balance at a nominal interest rate, typically 3.6% per month (43.2% annually).

Cardholders are encouraged to review the terms and conditions to understand the applicable rates and charges.
