Click on the “Credit Cards” tab at the top of the website. You’ll see a taskbar along the top of the website with your account options.

Register your credit card if you haven’t already done so. Click on “Register New Card” on the left taskbar. Then, enter your card information and your 4-digit credit card PIN. Click “continue” to take you back to the credit card page.- Skip this step if you’ve already added this card to your account.

-
Click on “Online Redemption” and select “Redeem Reward Points.” You’ll see a menu to the left of your screen. Place your cursor over the "Online Redemption” option, then click to bring up new options. Select “Redeem Reward Points” from the new menu. This will show you your available points.- Take note of how many points you have so you can narrow your selection to items that you can afford.
-
Choose your points range and the item category you want to browse. Scroll down to the catalogue menu and find the box that says “Points Range.” Fill in the amount of points you have to redeem.

Click on “View Shopping Cart” to review and modify your selection. This will bring up a list of the items you've added to your cart. Make sure the products in your cart are the ones you want, and adjust the quantity if necessary. Additionally, verify your shipping address.- You can remove items you no longer want by clicking “remove.” If you want more than 1 of an item, adjust the quantity.
- Keep in mind that HDFC will send your items to the address they have on file. If you want to mail your items to a different address, you’ll need to update your address with the bank before you redeem your points.
-
Agree to the “Terms and Conditions” so you can check out. You can’t complete your transaction without reviewing the terms and conditions. Read the statement provided by the bank, then click the box indicating that you agree.- You can’t redeem your points without agreeing to the terms and conditions, either online or through the mail. This authorizes HDFC to debit your points and possibly charge you for shipping and handling.
-
Hit the “Redeem” button to finalize your purchase. When you’re ready to complete your transaction, click on the “Redeem” button at the bottom of the screen. This will finalize your order.

Check your most recent billing statement for your available points. Your rewards points are listed each month on your billing statement, so check your most recent bill to find out how many points you have. Don’t try to claim more points that you have available because your redemption form will be rejected.- Look at your paper statements that come in the mail. If you’re paperless, access your statements online.

Choose the items you want from the rewards catalogue. Open the digital rewards catalogue available through the HDFC website. Then, scroll through the catalogue to look for items you want that are in your points range. Write down the item code for the item you want so you can enter it on your form.- The amount of points you need depends on the type of HDFC card you have, since the cards accumulate points differently. Each page of the catalogue has a key that tells you which point level you need.

Fill out a “Redemption Form” using block letters. Enter the product code, product name, and the quantity you want. If you’re getting fastrack options, enter how much money will be debited from your credit card account. Then, enter the credit cardholder’s name and the card number. Finally, sign and date the form to agree to the terms and conditions.- If the product code is written incorrectly, HDFC will choose the item closest to the product name you listed in the "Product Name" box on the form.
