HDFC Imperia Upgrade Credit Cards

[aakashgupta]

Hi, I recently opened an Imperia account with HDFC and am curious about the benefits it offers. I'm 19 years old and have two credit cards: an AMEX Platinum Travel (add-on) and a Kotak White credit card. What should I discuss with my relationship manager to make the most of this account? What additional perks are available?

It is indeed foolish to first open an imperia account, which requires minimum 10 lakhs balance in the savings account and then ask for the benefits it offers. Let me Break your heart by telling you straight that it gives practically no benefit over an account which with ₹10,000 balance. The relationship manager of an imperial account is a totally useless person who does not know anything about the bank’s product. He will only try to sell some ULIP or insurance product. I will seriously advise you to downgrade the account to an ordinary savings account.

thankyou for breaking my heart but i had the money parked in another bank so its okay. if there is no such benefit, is there any other bank which would give me benefits? how can i get a better RM? my RM in Kotak is really experienced/knows alot about industry and i thought would be the same case with HDFC. I am planning to get CCs and then downgrade... please suggest.

As per other threads I've seen, negotiate for everything take everything in writing so that you can later on escalate.

If you want unlimited lounge access.

Open a yes Bank Grandeur account and you will get Marquee credit card with that.

It's almost equal to infinia. I have been using this.

I am imperia customer for almost an year. There is nothing special man other than basic things which I have used
Not so good benifits
1. Free cheq to cash withdrawal
2. Free atm withdrawals
Good benifits
1. Got free locker
2. Got marriot bonvoy LTF

PS: one advantage I found of having account in sbi and hdfc is their branches are available everywhere, tier 3 and even village me I have seen hdfc branches. Whenever have to fill cheq if it's in same branch then cleared very fast and even if signature donot match u can visit branch if payee and payer branch is same. So many people have accounts in hdfc hence become easier in cheq things

Though all above are from my personal opinion and personal use case, and the reason I am holding imperia account in hdfc and not any other bank rn
