HDFC Freedom Credit Card is an entry-level credit card ideal for first-time credit users. It offers accelerated rewards (10X CashPoints) on popular brands like BigBasket, BookMyShow, OYO, Swiggy, and Uber, covering groceries, dining, travel, and entertainment.
CashPoints can be redeemed for cashback, travel bookings via SmartBuy, air mile conversions, and products or vouchers through the rewards catalogue. The card also provides discounts on Swiggy Dineout and partner restaurants.
While it’s great for daily spending, the low redemption value of 1 RP = ₹0.15 reduces its overall value compared to cards like SBI SimplyCLICK and HDFC MoneyBack+. With its low annual fee and relaxed eligibility, it’s a good option for new-to-credit users.
