Getting an IDFC First Credit Card

[Riya Sharma]

I have DCB, Axis Select and Axis Privilege (all LTF) and with limits above 5lakhs. But, the best IDFC First can offer me is their secured wow card for some bizarre reason. I opened an account with them a month ago and for some reason they opened salary account instead of savings. My salary gets credited in HDFC so I don’t know why IDFC did this and am not sure what will happen with this account in the future but I still have been unable to get an unsecured credit card from IDFC First.

Will maintaining 2 lakhs in this account make any changes or is just a waiting game? I have recently applied a month ago so I don’t think I will be able to reapply for the next 6 months, right?

There is no devaluation here. So please don't mark it with devaluation tag. Suddenly everyone will be shocked to see that. Edited to normal.

Especially myself, I got my wealth card 2 months back! 🥵🫣

IDFC sucks. One of my friends has 25L limit on HDFC Infinia and he applied with that on C2C basis and was only offered First Classic. Their online algorithm is broken like f.

Which pincode you tried ! Metro city or city

It's not about pincode. Their flawed algorithm offers only WOW card sometimes even to those with high end credit cards and good limits. They don't offer upgrades even with regular usage of existing card. And once you get WOW card, you are doomed, you are never offered any unsecured card on same number again.

IDFC is always about Pincode.

Even if you put Infinia, Amex with higher limits or Axis with higher limits but you are from Tier 2 or Tier 3 you will get Wow only. Pincode matters a lot. Select for certain Tier - 2 cities and wealth only for Metro Pincodes.

You can get upgrades from existing cards from branch support or from retention team on closure request (This scenario is rare).

I never said pin code doesn't matter 🤦🏻‍♂️ but it's not ONLY about pincode in their flawed algorithm. In my case, pin code is not the issue as I and my friend are in a prime location in Mumbai, near their head office. I was offered only WOW card despite having APay ICICI, SBI SimplyCLICK. I took it for 0% forex but later on no other card was offered even after a year, and having Wealth account, Wealth DC. Eventually got First Classic from alternate number after their PNO acknowledged that algorithm ignores other cards once WOW card is taken and they "generated" pre-approved offer for me from alternate number. (search for a thread with this exact issue on this forum itself where dozens having taken WOW cards for 0% forex were permanently banned from getting IDFC core unsecured cards, but are allowed to cobranded cards). Ha, if they had taken unsecured core cards before taking WOW card, then those remained active.

As for upgrades, again I know what to do to get the upgrade but it's not how other banks work. They offer upgrades over time. IDFC does not. That's why I said it sucks. 😀

I was in the same boat, heard from one user on the forum that IDFC doesn't offer Select or Wealth after WOW card.

I closed Wow card in September and applied using their web portal and got select (In March 24 Due to Pincode) else eligible for Wealth. Later on applied for IDFC vistara card. Yes algorithm is very bad with IDFC, I had to go for 12-15 enquiries to get the IDFC select card at least.

I was shown an error even after closing WOW card until I escalated to PNO that I will complain to RBI for not even allowing me to apply for a card or enter my other card C2C details, then they suddenly generated offer. Btw, were there 12-15 cibil hard enquiries to get Select? 😱

What is the approx limit you get on select ? I tried applying from their website, it always shows select, may be due to pincode.

Around 2L, my all other cards have more limits Quadruple IDFC limit.

Yes I had 12-15 to get the combination of Pincode and c2c card work for me. (IDFC is main culprit for me for not getting BOB due to high enquires)

Error is :"You cannot proceed"? or any other Error.
