Need Advice: IndusInd Pioneer Metal LTF Credit Card Against FD – Worth It?

[imrajib]

Hi everyone,


I'm from a Tier 3 city, where unfortunately IndusInd Bank credit cards are not directly serviceable. However, I currently hold an IndusInd Select account along with a ₹2L fixed deposit.


Recently, my Relationship Manager (RM) approached me with an offer:
If I open a ₹3L FD, he can arrange for the IndusInd Pioneer Metal Credit Card Lifetime Free (LTF) for me, even though the card isn’t officially serviceable in my area.


I have a few questions:

• Has anyone here availed a similar offer?
• Is it safe and wise to trust such RM-led offers?
• Does it make sense to park ₹3L in an FD just to get this card?

Would appreciate any inputs from those with similar experiences or who are familiar with IndusInd’s card issuance against FDs.


Thanks in advance!

PMH is more of a showoff card.

Normal reward rate is not that good anyways.

If you don't wanna do FD, don't do just for it specifically ig!

You can yourself have a look over benefits here : https://www.indusind.com/in/en/personal/cards/credit-card/pioneer-heritage-credit-card.html

Maintain good balance in account, u will eventually get legend or pinnacle ltf preapproved offer.

Pinnacle Heritage is more of a lifestyle card offering unlimited lounges for cardholders and add ons, and zero forex markup. If it does not suit to your requirements, you can go for other cards.

Sounds too good to be true, RM seems to lure you with this offer , better take it in email before you make the FD.

There are different variants of PMH based on the annual and joining fees. Which one is he offering? They all have different features.
