I went to PNO, requesting to proceed with application if Zenith was offered. They denied saying Zenith is no longer being sourced. Even their tool doesn't allow and all such blah blah. I asked her to place a request with all the relevant information, she mentioned that many such requests has been placed in past and none of them got approved. She clearly mentioned their CC dept is not approving any requests for Zenith card

Then I requested for Zenith+ LTF & she took request for the same. Dont have any hopes tho..
 
So it means once u miss swipe up offer, there is no possibility of getting Zenith LTF.

My friend applied through swipe up couple of days ago with infinia, he was approved with Zenith card. I beleive it is only being issue through swipe up portal only. And by no other means like card to card or upgrades etc.

Zenith -1 Reward Points per INR 100 retail spends done on BBPS and Utility & Telecom categories. 0.25%
Zenith + - 1%
 
I just applied for it. Do they do physical KYC at home & office address? Also, how much time do they take to process the application?
which one is better? i just got a zenith LTF card using swipe up platform. wondering whether i should try changing it zenith+, if it is available as LTF.
 
Paid Zenith+ over LTF Zenith, what would be your justification to choose and pay that card?

Could someone give me some points where you considered zenith+ has edge over zenith?

for me, to recover 900rs. on Zenith+ one has to spend, 40k (75k in a month for 2.3% return) or 90k for 1% return. Anything above is the actual benefit of the card.

Not everyone worries about Rs 900 per year.

Hi,
Thanks for updating as per new devaluation effective 1/4/2024. However each point value of zenith is 0.20p not 0.25p;

AU has this beautiful data page which shows

- number of times we availed instant discounts and amount
- cashback received
- next milestone date and required spends
- number of times lounge or even fuel surcharge availed and amount


Do check, it looks really good and matches with my data. Try once.

Is Au Zenith /Zenith+ better then Ixigo? With Ixigo you get LTF 0 forex card with 2.5% reward rate as Ixigo money. Since you can have only 1 Au bank card, Ixigo makes more sense. M&G you can get on Atlas and Magnus.
