HDFC Platinum vs Millennia Debit Card

You can earn 1% cashback on your credit card bill payment using HDFC Platinum debit card. You can use HDFC BillPay portal through netbanking to make credit card bill payments using a HDFC Platinum debit card. The monthly cap is 750 points equivalent to Rs 750. The cashback will be credited within 2 to 3 days after the payment.

With the HDFC Millennia debit card, you can also earn 1% cashback up to a maximum of Rs. 400 every month on paying your credit card bill. However, it cannot be used on the HDFC BillPay portal, and instead, you must use a third-party app such as PayTM or Mobikwik to make your payment. 

Although the Millennia debit card does not provide direct cashback on BillPay, it does offer 1% cashback on wallet reloads. To earn cashback on your credit card bill payment, you can load your wallet with this debit card and pay your credit card bill via the wallet. The cashback will be credited to your account within 90 days after the payment is made.

Conclusion

If you are a HDFC Classic, Preferred and Imperia customer then you can get both the debit cards with zero membership fee. Having both the cards allows you to receive a monthly cashback of Rs. 1150 by using them to pay your credit card bills.
