Conclusion

The Shoppers Stop Black HDFC Bank Credit Card is a niche co-branded card that delivers excellent value for dedicated Shoppers Stop customers. With up to 8% rewards on private label brands, a complimentary First Citizen Black membership, and 24 annual lounge visits, it packs impressive benefits for its fee bracket.

However, the card is best suited for those who regularly shop at Shoppers Stop. The high annual fee of Rs 4,500+GST without any spend-based waiver, combined with limited rewards on non-Shoppers Stop spends and extensive reward exclusions, makes it less attractive for general-purpose use. If you are a loyal Shoppers Stop customer spending Rs 10,000+ monthly at the brand, this card can deliver over 9% annual savings on your total spends.
