CP's Take

We are not sure why IDFC launched the FIRST Classic Card because we see no difference between this credit card and FIRST Millennia Credit Card except that the former offers an additional Road Side Assistance. Because both the cards are identical, rewriting the same stuff again doesn't make any sense. Hence, you might want to click here to read the bottom line.
