The closest competitors of this credit card are HDFC’s two other cards- Moneyback and Millennia. HDFC Moneyback is good for overall online spends but the reward rate is not impressive as compared to the Moneyback+ variant. On the other hand, HDFC Millennia is quite an impressive alternative to Moneyback+ as the rewards to cashback ratio stands strong at 1:1, though at double the fee. Moneyback+ can be a good choice for beginners looking for accelerated rewards on their frequent online spends with the partnered brands. The features are satisfactory for a low annual fee of Rs. 500 and can be easily maximized by most online shoppers.

Paisabazaar Review
What do we like about this card?
Users can earn accelerated reward points on some of the most popular brands like Amazon, Flipkart, BigBasket, Swiggy and more. Unlike most entry-level cards, Moneyback+ offers extra rewards on EMI spends which makes it a good option for high-ticket spends as well. This card can be a great choice for users seeking a low-annual fee card with benefits on multiple everyday spends via co-branded association. The card extends savings on online shopping via Amazon & Flipkart, on dining via Swiggy and on groceries through Reliance Smart SuperStore and BigBasket. But it does not offer any travel benefits and redemption value is also low. Thus, users willing to pay a slightly higher fee can consider other cards like HDFC Millennia or HDFC Regalia Gold.
Pros
- 10X points on popular platforms, like Amazon, Flipkart & Swiggy
- Low annual fee with easy spend-based waiver condition
- Multiple options to redeem Cash Points
Cons
- Low conversion rate of 1 Cash Point = Rs. 0.25
- No travel benefits
