Actually my first icici card was coral and then I got apay card. I used this combo for nearly 5 years and then this whole shitstorm started about rubyx, sapp, rupay, times black, adani etc, this started around after june/july. No LE whatsoever.
My limit of apay/coral used to be same. 4.7L I got tons of LE as my main(and oldest-2018) card was coral and then i got apay(prolly 2019/20). I got LE like 3-4 times every year till umm ending of 2023. And whenever I got LE it used to increase limit for both apay and coral (4.7L), but last LE , it increased apay limit to 5L but it gave error on coral whenever i sms for le on coral it gave error. Since then my limit on coral is 4.7L and apay is 5L. I always though this limit was shared, idk.
Anyways, no limit increase since ending 2023 for icici.
Also ICICI close cards like hot cakes. Like literally the guy said, just name the card and I'll close it lol, no retention nothing. I liked it lol. I closed apay/adani for now.
As for HDFC no LE since I have swiggy/neu. I feel swiggy is still fine but neu stopped LE and also neu triggered hard KYC for me lol. Physical KYC and it took the guy 2-3 months to complete it.
