Based on PhonePe HDFC Bank Uno Credit Card FAQs v.2.2 (28 July 2026). PhonePe is the app you apply on. HDFC Bank is the issuer — bills, PIN, reward posting, hotlisting and chargebacks sit with the bank. This is not a recommendation to take the card.
Split the ticket. Welcome scratch cards and UPI-on-card linking on the PhonePe app → PhonePe Help. Missing reward points, statement, lost plastic, EMI, fees → HDFC Bank. PhonePe’s own T&Cs say it is not the card issuer.

2. What the FAQ (v.2.2) actually says
Uno is a RuPay HDFC Bank card meant for PhonePe bills, shopping and travel. You can link it to UPI for P2M (merchant) QR only, not person-to-person. Apply only in the PhonePe app — not on hdfcbank.com and not at a branch (Q13, Q15). HDFC will pull your credit bureau (Q14).Itemv.2.2 ruleJoining / annual fee₹499 + tax each. Annual fee waived on ₹1 lakh spend (cash, EMI, fees and some other spends do not count). Joining fee billed within 60 days of issuance. Welcome perks only if joining fee applies.Welcome — applied on/before 31 Jul 2026₹249 gift voucher on first PhonePe UPI-on-card txn ≥ ₹100, then ₹25 scratch cards on the next 10 such txns.Welcome — applied after 1 Aug 2026Five ₹100 cashback scratch cards, one per first five PhonePe UPI-on-card txns ≥ ₹100.Rewards2% PhonePe recharge/bills/travel (MCC list) · 1% Amazon/Flipkart/Myntra/Ajio/Uber/Swiggy/Zomato · 1% Scan & Pay UPI. Each bucket capped at 500 points / calendar month. 1 point = ₹1 statement cashback (min 500) or ₹0.30 on SmartBuy. Posted on or before the 15th for the previous calendar month. Lapse in 2 years. Cashback redemption cap ₹7,500 / month.No points onEMI, fuel, wallet load, gift cards, cash, card bills, charges, government, rent, education, insurance, investments, jewellery, and other bank exclusions.Fuel1% surcharge waiver on ₹400–₹5,000 fuel txns, max ₹250 per statement cycle — not reward points.
Existing HDFC cardholders can still apply if they have no live card application in the last 60 days. The new Uno limit is usually carved out of the same overall limit(floater). Read the Floater Card T&Cs.

4. How to contact them — step by step
Step 1 — Keep this pack ready
- Registered mobile (same on PhonePe and HDFC)
- Last 4 (or last 6, if PhonePe asks) of the Uno card
- Application date — on/before 31 Jul 2026 vs after 1 Aug 2026 changes the welcome pack
- Statement date and transaction posting date (rewards follow calendar month, not always the bill cycle)
- UTR / RR number for UPI-on-card spends
Step 2 — Lost card or unknown debit: bank first
Call 1800 202 6161 / 1860 267 6161from the registered number and hotlist. Confirm the SR. Then, if needed, file the online dispute. Do not wait for PhonePe chat on a stolen RuPay card.
Step 3 — PhonePe ticket for app / welcome / UPI link
In the PhonePe app open the exact UPI-on-card payment → Contact PhonePe Support. Paste:
PhonePe HDFC Bank Uno (FAQ v.2.2). I applied on [date]. Joining fee [has / has not] been billed. UPI-on-card txn of ₹[ ] on [date], UTR [ ]. Welcome [₹249 / ₹100 scratch] has not credited. Please raise a ticket and share the ID. I understand welcome is only for first eligible PhonePe-app txns ≥ ₹100.
Step 4 — HDFC email for points, fees, MITC
To: customerservices.cards@hdfcbank.com
Cc (if a dispute):cc.disputes@hdfcbank.com
Subject: PhonePe HDFC Bank Uno — [missing points / fee waiver / dispute] — last 4 [xxxx]
I hold the PhonePe HDFC Bank Uno RuPay card. Registered mobile: [ ]. Last 4: [ ]. Please [post exception rewards for txn dated … MCC … / waive annual fee on ₹1 lakh eligible spend / register dispute within 30 days of statement dated …]. FAQ v.2.2 says regular points post by the 15th and exceptions up to 60 days. Attach statement screenshot. Please reply with SR number.
Step 5 — Redeem points yourself before you complain they “vanished”
Points credit on or before the 15th for the previous calendar month and are redeemable only after that cycle’s statement. Use NetBanking for ₹1/point statement credit (min 500, max ₹7,500/month) or SmartBuy at ₹0.30/point. Unredeemed points lapse in two years — that is not a PhonePe bug.

PhonePe’s Level-4 Ombudsman note is written for its PPI/wallet, not for an HDFC credit card.
6. Safety and fine print people miss
- Nobody from PhonePe or HDFC will ask for full card number + CVV + OTP on a new WhatsApp number. Official WhatsApp banking is 70700 22222after you message it first.
- UPI-on-credit is P2M only. Sending money to a friend’s VPA will not earn welcome or Scan & Pay points.
- A ₹99 PhonePe bill split across two instruments does not get welcome cashback (FAQ disclaimer).
- Scan & Pay 1% is UPI QR only — typing the card number (3DS) does not count for that bucket.
- MCC, VPA and TID lists change. If a Flipkart spend posts under a non-listed MCC, Q19 says it will not earn. That is a bank construct, not a “glitch” until exception posting fails at day 60.
- Read MITC and the Card Member Agreement on the official Uno page before you argue a fee.
7. Short FAQ
I already have an HDFC card. Will my limit increase?
Usually no. FAQ Q12: the existing limit is shared (floater). A live application in the last 60 days blocks a new one.
Can I apply at an HDFC branch?
No. PhonePe app only.
Why did January spends show points in February but I could not redeem until the March statement?
Points post by the 15th for the previous calendar month; they become redeemable only after that cycle’s statement is generated (FAQ note 5).
Is this investment or income advice?
No. It is a fee-based credit card. Pay the statement in full if you only want the rewards.
