Paid as reward points worth ₹1 each as statement credit (no redemption fee; minimum 500 points), or ₹0.30 on SmartBuy.

HDFC Bank states that spends outside the three listed categories earn no reward points, but no quote gives that as a 0% rate, so no base rule is recorded. The 2% PhonePe-app category is a portal benefit and is listed as a highlight.
