DCB HDFC Diners Club Black Metal Credit Card

[bonheur]

Hmm, HDFC looks set to introduce a metal version of DCB that raises the daily and monthly cap of the current PVC DCB.

DCB METAL LTF possible?

Nope, the post implies it was denied.

 

[_ayush]

DCB LTF deval seems to be incoming as per the new milestones that was inadvertently shown in the Smartbuy website. Would you still continue if monthly milestones and the current annual benefits are removed?

What was the milestones show on Smartbuy for DCB plastic?

 

[PSY]

Had coulple of queries:
1. Does RentPay (through RG) give rewards point on DCB metal? And is it counted in milestone?
2. Are goverment spends (NPS in particular) counted towards milestone?

 

[SSV]

+1... I too want to know them..

Basically , the exempted categories for Reward points such as, rent ,wallet, Govt paymets etc... are these are also exempted for milestone benefits and as well as annual fee waiver limt??
or are they included in the calculation of milestone benefits??
any takers for this question?

LTF DCB I’ll continue if RM doesn’t do anything.
If that smartbuy new milestone comes, it works For me 2.5L/ quarter for Marriott voucher better than BMS or Tata Cliq. I know percentage wise it’s reduced.
I Will add Atlas card then.
Currently waiting for Magnus Burgundy just to transfer out my points and then will close it.
So essentially I’ll be using DCB/ Atlas/ Amex Quad then in the end.

DCB T&C states that EMI and Wallet Loads are not counted for any milestones. I would assume that holds true for Metal as well until there is explicit T&C against it.

It is discussed here https://www.technofino.in/community/threads/diners-black-new-welcome-annual-benefits.19430/

The reason I asked about RentPay is the T&C for DCB Metal says RentPay would incur 1%(plus GST) charge, whereas DCB didn't had any such charges.

Also, any idea about the Gov. spends being counted towards milestone beneifts?

Hdfc counts them for milestones. Regular DCB, Infinia has first rent transaction only without charges. From second rent transaction onwards in a month, it has charges of 1% + GST. I thought DCB metal has same TnC. Is it not the case?
