The festive deals are *on*, and this year your credit-card wallet might just be the biggest winner. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0} has rolled out a time-limited offer: three of its top cash-back credit cards are now **Lifetime-Free** (no joining fee, no annual fee) for those who apply in the promotion window.
Here are the three cards — and how you can make them work *for you*:
---
### 🍱 1. **Swiggy HDFC Credit Card** - **Best for**: Food delivery, groceries via apps, dine-out via Swiggy & co. - **Top perks**: 10% cashback on Swiggy (food + Instamart + partner dine-outs) :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}; 5% on major online e-commerce platforms; 1% on other spends :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}. - **Special offer**: Lifetime free (no annual fee) during limited period. - **Affiliate link placeholder**: **[Apply via My Link: ___]**
> Tip: If you spend heavily on food delivery/groceries via Swiggy and tend to pay full balance each month — this one gives serious value.
---
### 🛒 2. **HDFC Millennia Credit Card** - **Best for**: High-online shoppers across multiple brands. - **Top perks**: 5% cashback on ten popular merchants (Amazon, Flipkart, Zomato, Uber, etc) + 1% elsewhere :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}. - Quarter-spend benefit: Spend ₹1 lakh in a quarter → ~₹1,000 voucher bonus. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4} - **Affiliate link placeholder**: **[Apply via My Link: ___]**
> Tip: Map your monthly online spend. If it’s not too heavily skewed to one brand/app but spread across many, this gives great flexibility.

### 📈 3. **HDFC BizGrow Credit Card** - **Best for**: Entrepreneurs, small business owners, vendor/utility/tax spends. - **Top perks**: Reward points on business spends (2 points per ₹150 typical; 10× on select categories) :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}. Milestone bonus (e.g., every ₹1 lakh quarter) adds extra value. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6} - **Affiliate link placeholder**: **[Apply via My Link: ___]**
> Tip: If you handle monthly recurring business expenses (taxes, vendor payments, subscriptions, etc), this card “pays you back” via reward points — but again only *if you pay off fully* & avoid penalties.

### ✅ Quick Compare
| Card | Where It Wins | Key Requirement ||------------------|---------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------|| Swiggy HDFC | Big reward in food/grocery app spends | Frequent use of that ecosystem || Millennia | Broad-merchant coverage & simple cashback | Good variety in where you shop || BizGrow | Business-oriented spends & rewards | Business usage + discipline |
---
### ⚠️ Things to Watch
- **Rewards exclusions**: Some spends (wallet recharges, gaming, rent via card etc) may earn *no or reduced* rewards. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7} - **Full payment discipline**: Even “fee-free” cards escalate in cost if you carry balances / pay late / pay only minimum. - **Offer window & eligibility**: Make sure your application happens during the valid period and you meet the bank’s criteria (income, existing cards, credit history). - **Lock-in value**: Compute whether your realistic spend pattern will justify holding the card. E.g., “Will I really spend ₹1 lakh/quarter?” for card with milestone benefit. - **Affiliate disclosure**: If you include affiliate links, ensure you *clear-state* your affiliate relationship (compliance + transparency).

### 🎯 My Take
If I were picking just **one** for the typical urban user with decent online & food delivery habit, I’d lean toward **Swiggy HDFC Credit Card** — due to its strong 10% reward bucket + now zero annual fee for the promo. But if your spending is broader or you want maximum flexibility, go with **Millennia**. And if you run business or recurring vendor/tax spends, **BizGrow** is a smart addition.
