How to Apply for the Myntra HDFC Credit Card via the Myntra App in 2026
Heads-up: Myntra HDFC Bank Credit Card is no longer openly issued, so some figures below may be stale. The application steps still show how issuer applications generally work.
The Myntra HDFC Credit Card is a co-branded card for Myntra users. The application runs through the Myntra app, takes 5 minutes, and offers 7.5% cashback on Myntra orders, 5% on partner merchants, and 1.5% on all other online spends. The card is open to all users, not just HDFC customers.
Why this matters
If you spend ₹5,000/month on Myntra, the 7.5% cashback gives you ₹375/month. Across 12 months, that is ₹4,500 — meaningful for a lifetime-free card for fashion shoppers. The application is fully digital and the cashback is credited directly to your Myntra Insider wallet, which can be used for any Myntra order.

Common mistakes to avoid
The most common mistake is not linking the card to your Myntra Insider wallet — without linking, the 7.5% cashback is not credited. The second is hitting the monthly cap (₹500 per month) and not realising the rest earns only 1.5%. The third is using the card for non-Myntra fashion apps (Ajio, Nykaa Fashion), which earn only 1.5%.
Pro tips
- Link the card to Myntra Insider within 7 days of card activation
- Use the card only on Myntra to maximise 7.5% cashback
- Track the ₹500 monthly cashback cap in the Myntra app
- Pair with Flipkart Axis for Flipkart and Cleartrip
