Puja, a Learning & Development Manager in an auto company, was experiencing fewer and fewer benefits from her credit card. She used both her credit card and UPI wallet on her work trip across India. Keeping track of her expenses across credit card statements and wallet statements while keeping an eye on the transaction charges and reward expiration was not appealing to her. As a result, her colleague suggested choosing the right card for her.

FIRST Select: What makes it the perfect credit card?

Puja started looking for a credit card with premium privileges, particularly in travel, along with card acceptability across the land. FIRST Select Credit Card offers it all for zero joining and annual fees. Here’s a look at the features that convinced her -

Unmatched travel benefits – With FIRST Select Credit Card, she would look forward to the complimentary domestic airport lounge access and four railway lounge visits per quarter. The card gets her offers on flights and hotels while offering trip cancellation cover of ₹ 10,000 on both.
Reward program – FIRST Select Credit Card use accumulates up to 10X reward points, which can be so easily redeemed that it is as good as money. Puja didn’t have to worry about reward expiry dates, because with IDFC FIRST Bank, reward points never expire!
UPI linkage – In remote locations and small shops, you may not get to enjoy the advantages of a credit card. But FIRST Select Credit Card can be linked with UPI, by opting for a virtual RuPay add-on card.
