To give a background, I was holding LTF Aura CC with very low limit since ~5 years without any upgrade or LE. I tried applying legend many times but every time I got instant rejection. Got super frustrated and ended up cancelling that cc in May 2024.
Mid may, I applied for pinnacle through RS1910 and application got rejected instantly. Even before applying I asked him that I only closed cc few days ago and I don't want application rejection, but he assured me it can be applied and ultimately costed me 1 cibil hit for no reason.
Today evening I got a phone call saying the call is from indusind bank and I am pre-approved for LTF legend and rupay without any joining or annual fees, I can choose any. He also told me that last time my application got rejected so he is calling me because I am now pre-approved for it. I told him that I already applied and got rejected 3 months ago and don't want another cibil hit.
He assured me that this time I'll get it. I said, I am not interested in legend and want pinnacle only. He said that's a paid card and joining fee is ₹15,000. I said, "everyone is getting it as joining fee waiver with 50k spends". Then he replied, that he can give it with that offer too.
He seemed to have every details of me and just said to verify email and mobile OTP which I did and after few minutes he called again saying application approved and said I need to submit the form. Which I did. And voila, cc approved. Now, next mission is to upgrade to exclusive account.
