A week or so ago I shared about the benefits I have started to get for SBI Air India Signature card. As a new card/rewards enthusiast I find it an extremely useful card. But I also own a few other cards including an HDFC TImes card which I've now had for 7-8 years, IIRC.
Having tasted some success with with SBI Air India Signature, I've decided to up my game
And go the full hog by apply for an Infinia card today.
1. Based on the past 6 months spending on HDFC times card, the RM said I was eligible for the Diners. But Diners has its limitations with respect to acceptability. Hence I insisted for Infinia.
2. My RM advised me to approach the nearest branch and apply through them. The local branch asked for my payslips and said I fell a tad short of the monthly income (in-hand). However they said they will apply for a exemption considering my relationship with the bank. (I've been a customer for 12 years and have a salary account besides decent spending Times card)
3. Been told if I do not get an approval for Infinia I might get the Diners card.
4. If either of them is approved, I have been told I cannot hold the Times card simultaneously and it has to be closed. But that I could keep the Tata Neu HDFC card, apparently - yeah, I have that too for UPI spends
5. The process could take some time - a matter of weeks - they said.
Not very hopeful but shooting in the dark in the hope that it works
