Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get the Infinia Metal card?▼
Infinia Metal is invite-only. HDFC Bank typically offers it to existing customers with high credit limits (₹5L+), substantial assets with HDFC, or those with ITR above ₹30L. You can request it through your HDFC relationship manager.
What is the value of 1 Infinia Reward Point?▼
On SmartBuy, 1 RP = ₹1 for airline miles, Apple products, and Tanishq vouchers. For regular statement redemption, 1 RP = ₹0.50. The SmartBuy redemption nearly doubles the value.
Is the Club Marriott membership complimentary every year?▼
The Club Marriott membership is complimentary in the first year with the card's joining fee. In subsequent years, you receive 12,500 renewal RPs (worth ₹12,500 at SmartBuy) on fee payment, which effectively offsets the annual fee.
Can I transfer Infinia reward points to airline miles?▼
Yes — Infinia RPs transfer 1:1 to airline miles via SmartBuy (InterMiles, Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer, British Airways Avios, and others). This is one of the best mile transfer ratios in India.
