What IDFC FIRST does well

IDFC FIRST Select + IDFC FIRST Wealth are among the few credit cards offering Lifetime-Free status with international lounge access at all tiers.

IDFC FIRST Bank (formed via the 2018 IDFC + Capital First merger) entered the credit-card market in 2021 with an aggressive lifetime-free + perks-included positioning. Most IDFC FIRST cards are LTF including the Select (3 international + 4 domestic lounges/yr) and Wealth (unlimited domestic lounges + 4 international). The Click Card is the rewards-focused entry tier; Mayura is the metal premium. IDFC's reward-rate caps are competitive and the bank doesn't add common surcharges (fuel, rail, utility) that legacy issuers pile on.

Frequently asked questions

Are all IDFC FIRST credit cards really lifetime-free?
Most of the headline lineup — yes. Select, Wealth, Click, Power+, Classic, Millennia (IDFC's, not HDFC's), and Mayura are all LTF. The premium Mayura Metal carries a joining fee. LTF here means zero annual fee + zero renewal fee, but standard transaction-level charges (forex markup, late fee, cash advance fee) still apply.
What's the minimum salary for an IDFC FIRST Bank credit card?
IDFC FIRST Classic and Millennia accept ₹15,000-20,000/month — among the lowest minimums for an LTF unsecured card. Select needs ₹25-35K. Wealth and Mayura need ₹70K-₹1.5L.
How are IDFC FIRST reward points valued?
1 IDFC reward point = ₹0.25 when redeemed against the catalogue (statement credit, vouchers). Wealth and Select tiers earn 3x base = ~0.75% effective on online spends. Mayura earns 10x on dining = effective ~2.5%. Reward points have a 24-month expiry — far more generous than HDFC's 12-month policy.
