    HDFC DCB (LTF) to Infinia upgrade. Need advice

    Copy-pasting my reply to a user from above in the same thread: "At the time, I wanted to use the Infinia as my 'only' card. The metal card's tap-to-pay feature works only on one side (you can run a search to see why this is the case - metal cards rely on a plastic layer to enable this feature)...

    HDFC DCB (LTF) to Infinia upgrade. Need advice

    At the time, I wanted to use the Infinia as my 'only' card. The metal card's tap-to-pay feature works only on one side (you can run a search to see why this is the case - metal cards rely on a plastic layer to enable this feature). The 10th time I told a shopkeeper to turn the card over (to...

    HDFC DCB (LTF) to Infinia upgrade. Need advice

    Since you tagged me, here are my inputs. The Regalia Gold is a good card to start with. It's a step in the upgrade-ladder of HDFC (to a more rewarding card) and since it's FYF, you can take it for a year and then re-evaluate it's usefulness at the end of 10 months or so. You have to think about...

    Strange question - Card Activation & Credit Limit Increase

    I have a primary HDFC card with a 9.5L CL (credit limit). I haven't received a CLE in over 3 years now. I just received a second card (Bonvoy-HDFC card). Now, both my primary card and this Bonvoy card will share the current limit. I have not yet activated the Bonvoy card but have received a few...

    Marriot Bonvoy HDFC card, Income tax & milestones?

    As the title says, do income-tax payments count towards the milestones on this card? Thank you

    Question about Magnus Burgundy

    My RM is offering me a 'paid' Magnus Burgundy card bit I feel this is a bad choice for me. Before I say no to her, I wanted to confirm that I am thinking correctly about this: in the last year, my card spends crossed 2L in 1 month, 1.5L in 1 month and were around 1L (or lower) in other months -...

    Infinia points - two ways to ITC?

    Thanks. You mean book the hotel through smartbuy but on revenue - correct?

    Infinia points - two ways to ITC?

    I find this confusing but have never used my Infinia for hotel bookings before (only flights) so I would appreciate your inputs. If I transfer my Infinia points to Club ITC green points, it transfers at 2 Infinia points = 1 green point. However, if I go to smartbuy and find the same ITC...

    Infinia points - exact expiry date?

    I am aware (or believe) that Infinia points expire in ~3 years. I also know that my monthly statement 'warns' me about expiring points (30 days & 60 days). However, 60 days is still a little 'small' to make a sensible redemption. Is there any way to figure out when the points are expiring? I...

    HDFC DCB (LTF) to Infinia upgrade. Need advice

    I don't know - my downgrade from metal to plastic was around a year ago (2023 or early 2024).

    Infinia Help me decide continuing with EPM vs Infinia vs Both

    Until EPM introduces travel partners, it's not really an equivalent card to the Infinia. Also, it's not a mature product so I would watch it for a year or two before seeing it as genuine competition to the Infinia.

    HDFC DCB (LTF) to Infinia upgrade. Need advice

    I will disagree with this. HDFC does not make the rules for Infinia clear - it's confusing at best. This means that a lot depends on their perception of the applicant and for account holders, the RM, BM etc. I would hesitate to make sweeping statements since for every 10 posts about how an...

    HDFC DCB (LTF) to Infinia upgrade. Need advice

    No guarantee this will work but you will need to do the following: move all spends to DCB (Diners is not accepted everywhere so I mean all spends where it is accepted). Once you have a few months of spends on the card, write and ask for a credit-limit-enhancement. You want to be at a minimum CL...

    EDU spends & Axis (premium) cards

    Just to clarify: no mistake in the 'premium' segment since EDU spends are 'included' (counted) for both Atlas & Magnus (but not Horizon & Olympus)

    EDU spends & Axis (premium) cards

    Something that struck me as odd is that 'Education' spends are rewarded with EM for the Axis Atlas card. The Horizon card (roughly a level below Atlas) and the Olympus card (a level above Atlas) both have 'Education' spends on their exclusions list. This seems strange - particularly given the...

    Questions about Infinia & Atlas combo

    I searched but can't find a thread on the first point: 1. Is Infinia or Atlas better for points to be transferred to Krisflyer? I am guessing that Infinia will win if the points are through SmartBuy and the Atlas will win otherwise - is this correct? 2. What is a good way to divide up spends...

    Axis Atlas Credit Card - Applications Closed from August 31st 2025

    I could be completely wrong but: if they wanted to shutdown the Atlas card or merge it with Horizon, they could have simply sent out a notice to all users offering a 'notice period' to move miles to partners at existing rates. So, simply stopping new applications, for Atlas, may not mean...

    Atlas - hotel use beyond Accor

    Based on advice here and elsewhere, I applied for and received the Atlas card yesterday (perhaps with a day to spare if applications are actually closing). I got the Atlas because I can clearly put 7.5 L on it in a year (if I make it my main card and include EDU spends which are 'counted') but...

    Cooling off period between (Axis) cards

    Axis seems to have the following policy: if you receive a new credit card from them, you must wait 90 days before applying for another one (and a 3-card limit in total). I know this is true from my netbanking account (and phone-banking as well). Question: does the cooling off period apply to...
