The IDFC FIRST Millenia Credit Card is a lifetime-free online shopping card with 6X reward points on online spends, 3X on offline spends, 3X on EMI purchases, 1% fuel surcharge waiver, and 4 free ATM cash withdrawals per month. The card is targeted at first-time online shoppers who want a no-fee card with high rewards on online categories.

Why this matters

IDFC FIRST Millenia is the highest-reward lifetime-free online shopping card from IDFC FIRST. The 6X on online spends is competitive with paid cards. The 3X on offline spends covers non-online categories. The 4 free ATM withdrawals are a unique secondary benefit.

Common mistakes to avoid

The 6X is uncapped but excluded from fuel, EMI, and cash advances. The 4 free ATM withdrawals are subject to a limit of ₹10,000 per withdrawal. The 6X is only on online transactions — wallet loads do not qualify.

Pro tips

• Use Millenia as your default card for all online spends to maximise 6X
• Track the 4 free ATM withdrawals per month
• Pair with IDFC FIRST Wealth for high-value online shopping
• Track the welcome bonus of 500 points on the first transaction
