HDFC Credit Card Upgrade

[Anirudh987]

Current I have HDFC Millennia Credit Card. HDFC Bank is offering me Regalia Gold Life Time Free.. Can I ask HDFC Bank to allow me to keep both the cards ??

 

[VikasAdvocate]

although I am also carrying Millenia card and aspire to upgrade it but I have heard from my friends that Regalia Gold is an okayish card.... not worth hype
I still prefer Millenia bcoz reward system and redemption is simple

Yes reward system is good in millennia

I have Windows 7 ,I upgraded to windows 11
Can I keep windows 7 too

If you have tagged #upgradation as tag
How would you expect to keep both, upgradation happens only superceding the previous one

A doctor giving an excellent analogy using engineering terms.
And here some engineers think installing windows 32 bit os twice will make it 64 bit.

Well it is how it is .
Don't cry like baby ,no one is principal here .

Even @TechnoFino 2 year old subscriber knows there is one core card policy in hdfc & even in his step brother idfc . Rest all are floaters

Hi, My mother is getting an offer for a card upgrade from Millennia LTF to Regalia Gold FYF her card limit is 5L

I need ur suggestions reg this
I am looking for INFINIA in the future but Regalia Gold is no way aligns with our spending pattern
I will consider this upgrade offer if it is LTF but they r offering FYF
What should I do now, Should I wait for some more days so that they change the offer?
The Millennia is a good card in terms of cashback and We don't travel much

 

[Fini7777]

Is it LTF or FYF
I am not able to decide because of this confusion
in net banking it is showing as LTF and when I click that link and proceed further It shows FYF

What do you think I should do now?

It's lifetime free. If you want take upgrade to RG and then share mail to grievance redressal with screenshot attached of the offer. They will convert to lifetime, if not offered.

Imo it'll be LTF.
It says like

"Annual fees: 0" and additionally it adds more clarity by mentioning (zero for first 12 months) which is redundant.

If it would have been Fyf then it would be something like

"Annual fees (zero for first 12 months):
2500"

Hope you get my point. For more clarity you can ask cc.

 

[dealminer]

Can you mention some timelines for the upgrades? Current card? Age? Limit? Last LE and upgrade offer? If there was any fyf offer before?

Devaluation on cards

Devaluation on cards

I considered this card only for lounge access without spend criteria, I hope they don't devalue this feature in future

Same with me, both millenia, regalia gold useless to me, only benefit of regalia gold is lounge access and in future step towards dream card infinia.

 

[Fini7777]

Received confirmation from cc team
It's LTF

 

[SonyTom]

Regalia Gold- 4 benefits
- International lounge access without spend criteria via PP
- Foreign currency markup of 2% +gst (I know there are CC with zero forex, but its better than most other lower hdfc cards like millennia which charge 3.5%+gst)
- Decent reward rate of 1.2% for offline spends too (Much better returns can be obtained via smart buy)
- A stepping stone to Infinia.

Disclaimer; I am now using Diners Club Privilege LTF, hoping to get an offer for Regalia Gold LTF. So my observations may be biased and incorrect especially in the reward rate. So please correct if I am wrong.
