Review

This super premium offering from IDFC First Bank promises a lot but falls short. The card positions itself in same category as Infinia but there are 2 significant issues. There are no airline transfer partner and no voucher multiplier. If you don't have any other super premium card and are getting this one, there is no harm in taking it.
