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.

 

[bonheur]

Basically my bill will be generated on 6th nov.

Want to know that the spends this sunday will be considered for the 80k milestone or the 4lakh milestone.

I have a roundabout way of saying yes, it probably will be considered. Why? Because last year when I was in the middle of a similar transition from DCB to Infinia, spends made on my old DCB before I fully transitioned ended up being counted towards the annual spends of my new incoming Infinia. How did I find out? According to my calculations looking at the transitional statement, assuming I had spent x amount on DCB before Infinia was approved, y after it was approved but still spent on DCB, and z after activating Infinia, I was counting only z towards my Infinia annual milestone. But surprisingly according to HDFC CC I had spent a figure which is close to y+z, bringing up my milestone slightly earlier than I expected.

Of course YMMV and only HDFC can say for sure, so please check with them.

First or second week of the calendar month. Got mine on Oct 5 for spends in Sept.

I dont think it is related to statement generation, since I got mine on Oct 5 and my statement generation date is after that.

Did you have DCB LTF before this? If so, did you get the welcome benefits on 1.5L spend?

Paid dcb.

Not yet received the dcb metal (delay in delivery ), but the milestone is showing as completed for 1.5l spend and allowing for redemption , which I haven't explored much.

 

[nikzcool]

Every month on 5th to 7th I have received it from last 7-8 months

Irrespective of my billing date.

I have LTF DCB which is due for renewal this January. I also got a message from HDFC to update my address. Will they force me to go with the DCB paid metal variant or can I get the plastic version of DCB as LTF? I am more interested in the LTF variant.

 

[imdjay]

Does anyone have the new card upgrade form for DCB Metal?
I contacted my RM and corporate POC, and both are saying- it's not available yet.

Spends of 5 lakhs in last 6 months or 10 lakhs in last 12 years and limit of 5 lakhs should make you eligible for metal upgrade

Heard from the customer care that there are no renewal benefits for the metal variant unlike the plastic one. Can anybody please confirm this? And is that a deal breaker?
