Quick Analysis

The Shoppers Stop HDFC Bank Credit Card is a niche co-branded card best suited for loyal Shoppers Stop customers who can maximize the 2.4% return on private label brands. With a low annual fee of Rs.299 and welcome benefits worth Rs.850, it pays for itself quickly. However, the low general spend return of 0.8% and absence of lounge access or insurance makes it unsuitable as a primary card. Consider it as a secondary card specifically for Shoppers Stop purchases.

  • Good 2.4% reward rate on Shoppers Stop private label brands
  • Rs.500 welcome voucher redeemable at Shoppers Stop
  • RuPay variant available for UPI payments
  • 1% fuel surcharge waiver across all fuel stations

Cons

  • No airport lounge access
  • No insurance coverage
  • Low 0.8% reward rate on non-Shoppers Stop spends
  • High 3.5% forex markup
  • Reward points value drops significantly for non-SS redemptions (Rs.0.20-0.25 per point)

Best For

Regular Shoppers Stop customers who want to earn First Citizen Points on their shopping and enjoy Silver Edge membership benefits.

Not Ideal For

Those seeking lounge access, insurance coverage, high reward rates on general spending, or premium travel benefits.

Conclusion

The Shoppers Stop HDFC Bank Credit Card is a purpose-built co-branded card that rewards loyal Shoppers Stop customers with First Citizen Points and exclusive membership benefits. At just Rs.299 per year, the welcome benefits alone (Rs.850) more than cover the cost in the first year.

However, its appeal is limited beyond the Shoppers Stop ecosystem. The 0.8% reward rate on general spending, absence of lounge access, no insurance coverage, and high 3.5% forex markup make it unsuitable as a primary credit card. It works best as a secondary card specifically for Shoppers Stop purchases, or as a first credit card for individuals building their credit history with HDFC Bank.
