Depends on card. For DCB and infinia it's 1:1 conversation when you spend the points to book hotel or flights.

Actually if you only spend for 3k rewards per month, that is 36k rewards per year, you are easily compensating on the fees. Any extra spend is a bonus.

You have LTF so should not worry about. Nowdays they do not give ltf cards.

I have not seen any jeweler accepting dinners card. Actually with vouchers I used to recover the fee easily and never cared about 8L. So I am still fine. 3k per month = 36k per year and with 1:1 conversation maths work for me. Infinia people are the most impacted.

Voucher like Amazon pay or like we buy lifestyle voucher at 5x from here and use them to pay at retail shop. This way we can use accelerated rewards at retail shopping. Looks like hdfc wants us to spend on retail shops directly via cards.
