Got HDFC MoneyBack+ Non-LTF even after Pre-Approved Offer

[sushant4]

Hi Guys, so I recently was looking for HDFC cards and I also currently hold Salary Account with HDFC.
I got pre-approved offers with hdfc with sometimes showing life time free (Unconditional) and sometimes charge based LTF (Refer to Screenshots). While applying online, I was getting an authentication error while submitting with net banking or debit card details.
After a day, I was contacted by my branch personnel confirming that I have lifetime free offer and I could apply it through HDFC DAP, I did the same and after two days my card got approved with 40K limit Moneyback+ VISA variant.
I just wanted to reconfirm if it was LTF, but customer care told me it's charge based card. Again after contacting the branch person who told be all the steps, she told it's lifetime free card only and not to worry, and if there is any problem then to contact them. What should I do now? I don't want to spend 30k and make it LTF. Should I take it or simply cancel it? I currently have (Icici, OneCard and Axis Ace).

It seem it unconditional LTF, and email to Hdfc for proof for ltf

I can’t see 30k spend to make unconditional ltf? Where is it

It's given in offers and terms and conditions, LTF with Spend Based Offers, so I had both the offers, but finally I applied through the bank application and not net banking

If you want the card take it, and if they charge you for the card send an email to Grievance.Redressalcc@hdfcbank.com with screenshots showing your name and the LTF offers.

Hi, I am in not exactly the same but similar situation as you. I have some questions and your reply will help me with my application. What is HDFC DAP? Did you apply directly or through the branch? Any docs submitted? And also how many credit enquiries they did? Did they do one enquiry when you initially applied and got the error and then again did second enquiry when you applied second time?

DAP is a hdfc site where you login with net banking and in the end generally type hdfc staff details and branch details who helped with process. I have salary account so no docs. To my shock i got 5 enquiries (maybe recently i was checking for unconditional LTF offers that also got in cibil.) I think with the error the enquiries got more. Sad about that part

Just email the HDFC credit card team asking if it's unconditional LTF. And never ever trust branch people of any bank. In fact, never trust anything which they say, ask them to send the offer to you in writing from their official email and see how they dance.

I dont know why everyone are crazy about hdfc cards. They have mediocre reward rate. Only card which has good reward rate is millenia, DCB . Millenia can be easily replaced by SBI CB CC. Axis has way better portfolio than HDFC.

HDFC has many offers during sale times + regular spend based offers comes which are useful

They were offering it LTF, hence just wanted to add to the portfolio but got scammed
