HDFC Global Value Program (GVP) is expired now?

[shadow]

I was looking for details on GVP to enroll for my upcoming international trip and found this. This is the only official place where anything about GVP was detailed as far as I know.

new to this. Are they still activating it?

Also, once activated for the primary, does it work for the add ons as well (now that the add ons have different numbers)??

How long does it take to get activated?
I am going out in early June and would like to activate it before that.

It would help only if you have Infinia.

DCB has really bad acceptance rate and it's better to have Visa/Master ready because that's what you will be using mostly.

Not really. If you have Regalia you can activate it and eliminate the forex charges basically

Sorry, I missed Regalia. The rewards ratio isn't the best with Regalia so I only think in terms of DCB and Infinia.

Obviously you get better rewards with those cards but not everyone can get those cards.
With GVP you can make the most of your existing cards.

I got it activated 4 days back by calling the Infinia Priority desk. They said it would take 48 hours to activate and cost 199 for 1 year. 2 days layer I got a message saying GVP has been activated.

Yes they are... just for your info some CC guys are clueless about GVP so you need to retry by calling again

Yeah. It is Infinia.. Will call them today.
Any idea about the add on cards? Do i need to try and put all spends on the primary or will it work on the add ons too (different numbers)

No idea but if you get hold of some knowledgeable CC Guy then you are in luck

Change the subject please anyone- add a question mark atleast

Why has HDFC always been so secretive about this program? This is a major USP for all of their premium cards.

No need add question mark, My GVP got activated this Monday and did an international txn on Wednesday

Done.

I think he wanted to change the post title as it's somewhat misleading now

 

[Karan04]

Just called .. its still being activated.. and said it will work on the add ons as well.

While online it was showing that offer has been stopped, I also got the same activated calling customer care for my DCB. Wanted to know the acceptability of DCB in Europe in case someone has tried

I can tell for most of the Asia. Acceptability is overall really low. If you’re frequent traveller, I don’t think it makes sense getting DCB or activating GVP on it for spending physically out of country.
I hold a regalia and based on my spends I am eligible for DCB but would not go for it due to acceptability issues.

I m not taking a new DCB. I already have an existing LTF DCB. Getting this activated for my upcoming trip to Europe

To clarify folks, GVP doesnt align to your credit card cycle but considers a calendar month. Hence often you will see even with spends in current month, GVP value back is less, but will reflect in the next credit card bill. Please check the trend over a couple of billing cycles to validate.
