IDFC Millennia Vs Classic Vs Select Vs Wealth Credit Card Compared

IDFC First Bank has finally introduced 4 new Credit Cards in 2021:

All 4 cards are offered as Lifetime Free Credit Cards, and all of them will be VISA variant cards of different tiers. I have already written detailed posts for each of the credit cards. Click on the respective links to know more about each card, its features and benefits, charges, eligibility criteria, and how you can apply for these cards.

By the way, IDFC First Bank has launched OneCard Metal Credit Card in partnership with FPL Technologies earlier, which is also offered as a Lifetime Free card, and currently the cheapest fully Metal Card that anyone can own.

While these new credit cards seem very lucrative to own, especially as they have no annual membership fees involved, there’s a bigger confusion at play: How to choose which card to apply for?

Remember, credit cards are given on the basis of your CIBIL Score or credit scores from other credit bureaus. Make sure to pay your credit card bills on time so that you don’t incur excess charges. CRED is one of the fastest apps for credit card bill payments.

If you take a look at the rewards scheme, all 4 cards have the same reward point ratio, with no monthly caps. So, no matter which IDFC credit card you use, you are going to earn the same reward points on the basis of your monthly spending.

So, what’s the difference?

Well, no matter how similar these new IDFC credit cards appear, there are minor differences outside of the reward points. In today’s post, we are going to compare the 4 credit cards side-by-side and let you be the judge and choose yourself.

  1. Nice comparison Nirmal. This kind of comparison should be ideal better understanding.
    I Would like to Know is Bajaj Finserv World Prime card worth taking or not? due to annual renewal fees?
    I am not able to see full Benefits anywhere else as explained.
    Could you please do that?

  2. Thank You Nirmal

  3. I’ve been offered a classic card with credit limit of Rs112000. After reading your comparison, I wish to return CLASSIC & get SELECT. Is it possible?
