Infinia HDFC Infinia "requesting" 1.5 lakhs spend per month?

[sid16]

Just received the above email. What does it mean? If we don't spend 1.5 lakhs a month, we're not entitled to these benefits?

BTW.. I am , on an average , a few steps ahead of all of you guys put together... wait and watch ...

I had already expressed my views on this topic a few times at the very beginning...
I dont blabber on gossips and unnecessary fear mongerings continuously…
I do act on the real facts ... hence my CHUP

Some of them dont even have Infinia.
A few months ago, somebody was struggling to get Infinia due to low spends and low salary. He upgraded for another card and is now saying that he also received email with mention of 1.5 lacs spend. 😛

That is why I mentioned in my previous post about analysis paralysis…
Thanks for sharing the info…

I agree that beyond a point trying to optimize every last spend is not worth it. Need to remember that our time has value too 🙂

I booked 5 flight tickets one way in May and it costed me 21k..whereas if I would have booked on IndiGo app or would have costed me only 18k

Can you DM me these instances of price comparison with photos please?

Our Time is much much more valuable than anything else…

Imagine this way…
When we were born , we came into this world with some expiry date ( just like any other product on supermarket shelves)…
The thing is we don’t know exactly what’s that expiry date unlike those products…

This actually means, we all have only a certain unknown period allocated to us..
Every hour we spend from this fixed unknown allocated time, the allocated time getting reduced…
So need to spend the time very wisely and be happier…

Might be some isolated example. I have bought several flights and hotels this year and ALL were cheaper or identical on Smartbuy.

Same with me. I’ve made 3 flight bookings and 1 hotel reservation and all are less than or equal to other options.

One night stay I booked with SMARTBUY for The Khyber and that availability was not available on MMT directly and not available with hotel directly also, not sure how that happened. All bookings were good to me.

Hello, today in my Infinia statement, i received this flyer (within the pdf itself) mentioning that infinia metal rewards on all the exempted categories such as govt transactions, rent, etc. is anyone aware of any recent changes or communications?

I've also found smartbuy prices to be same as MakeMyTrip/yatra/easemytrip/cleartrip on multiple hotel and flight bookings

It seems this whole Email notification saga was done by some ultra Centennial generation dude ( Gen Z) and fcked up the whole thing ...

Lol.. must have used some old template and no one bothered to proof read the email before sending!

Yeah seems they hired some new interns🤪

BTW.. did they send another email with the correction or asked users to ignore this email as it was sent in error? If not they can be pulled up for mis-selling the product.

I have booked number of the flights on Smarbuy over the past 2 years or so and the prices were fairly similar to other travel websites.

Does anyone know if there is a way to track spends for Infinia annual fee waiver?

Just call CC, I was doing that past few months. Anyways I have crossed my 10L spends already and still got 4months left

 

[Riva]

Hmm . What if this is a deliberate "mistake" to get folks who do not know much about the card to spend on these categories?
