These changes could directly impact how you earn and redeem benefits on your credit cards.

HDFC Bank is changing its terms and conditions of two credit cards – Tata Neu Infinity and Tata Neu Plus from June 10, 2025.

American Express Gold Charge changes from June 12, 2025

American Express is also updating the rewards policy for the Gold Charge Card starting June 12, 2025. As per the new rules, fuel purchases — including petrol, diesel, and CNG from Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) — will no longer earn Membership Rewards points for American Experess Card holders. For credit cardholders who regularly use their Amex Gold Card for fueling, this change reduces the overall reward-earning potential and may influence their future payment preferences. According to the website, “Effective 12 June 2025, you will not earn Membership Rewards® point on Fuel payments via Gold Charge card. Fuel includes petrol, diesel, CNG from Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs).”
