Best in market
Seven cards pay 5% here and none pays more, so this is decided entirely on which cap you would rather share and what else the card does. · Top-tier picks from the whole Indian market, researched 11 Aug 2026.
HDFC Bank Millennia
5% on BookMyShow as part of a ten merchant partner set
₹1,000 + GST, waived on ₹1L a year
Nothing beats 5% at BookMyShow, so take it on the card that does the most elsewhere. Millennia covers Amazon, Flipkart, Swiggy, Zomato and Uber at the same rate.
One 1,000 CashPoint monthly cap across all ten merchants, roughly ₹20,000 of spend. Cinema tickets are a small part of that in practice, which is fine.
HDFC Bank PIXEL Play
The same 5% on a cheaper card you can configure yourself
₹500 + GST, waived on ₹1L a year
At ₹500 with a ₹1L waiver it is easier to hold than Millennia, and you choose which merchant pack the 5% applies to.
The 500 CashPoint monthly cap is half of Millennia's and is shared across the whole chosen pack, so about ₹10,000 of spend.
