is there any easy way to find the total spend without going through individual credit crd statements ?

You just need to go through 6 credit card statements (for 6 months) - you can use your mail, or SMS search as well for alerts about your statement generation. If you use cred, it gives an easy view as well - you can try that.

Does sending email for LE or upgrade result in a hard inquiry on credit report?

No it doesn’t, as the bank already has your credit card details and history if your CC spends etc. To my knowledge a hard inquiry is done only when a new credit source is requested.

I have 6 month old regalia LTF card for 3L limit. But I have amazon pay credit card with limit of 6.7L. Also I just recently joined a new job with gross salary of 45L. What is the best way to get infinia card?

I have also applied for magnus card last week, waiting for that approval status now.

What's the simplest way to find out if your card is LTF or not?

I got to know about my card by calling customer care. They confirmed that the card is LTF.

thanks - I emailed them at the grievance address and they confirmed that my DCB is LTF, but Infinia is a paid product.

Hi everyone,

Excited to discover this amazing forum. This is my first post on this forum.

I have the following cards:
HDFC Regalia - 7.4 lakh limit
ICICI Amazon Pay - 10.9 Lakh linit
ICICI Rubyx - 10.9 lakh limit
Axis Magnus - 10 lakh limit

As a businessman, I don’t have a high ITR. But I do have a running business loan with HDFC for an amount of nearly 3.2 cr.

I sent a mail to their Greviance mail I’d, but they replied with the ITR criteria. Is there a way for me to upgrade to DCB or Infinia?

Try them to enhance your limit over 8 lakh then request…

I am helpful to this forum. My regalia was successfully upgraded to DCB(First year free and then chargeable).

I had: HDFC regalia with a 7L Credit limit
Owned for: 2 years

Sent an email to grievance.redressalcc@hdfcbank.com requesting them to upgrade to Infinia first. They denied the request to upgrade to Infinia however agreed to offer me an upgrade to DCB(First year free and then chargeable). All they had asked for was the scanned copy of the upgrade form. No payslips or any other documentation was required.

Thank you again 🙂

I guess Credit Limit is the key here. I have been trying hard to increase the CL on my Regalia card with the sole intention of upgrading to DCB, but I’m being denied despite having good monthly income. One reason I could understand is the age of my regalia, it’s just 7 months old & May be they will consider my request for LE after I complete a year or so :/

Yes time is the key. I just checked the credit limit history of my card. I got this card issued in Sept 2021 with a limit of 3.5L and then got the limit upgrade to 7L straight in May 2022. So roughly 9 months it took them to increase the limit on my card. While writing this here I just realized my regalia is not 2 years old but about 1.6 years 🙂. Good luck to you 🙂

I don’t think they have consistent norms. My Regalia was issues in 2018 at a limit of 3.2 lakhs.
Got LE to 7.4 lakhs last year. Annual usage is in the range of 6-8 lakhs.
also got a DCB upgrade last year, but did not avail that.

Now, no LE/LTF/card upgrade offers.

HDFC has really started to annoy me.

Cool, what was your usage pattern during this period?

 

[aneesh120]

Using this method even i got upgraded to Infinia by emailing directly to grievance redressal.
My old card was business regalia with a limit of 8.19L new hdfc Infinia card just got delivered today.
I don't think the requirement for 10L limit in existing card is important as i have got approval without 10L limit.

I have ICICI platinum with 63K limit, can I get regalia or millennia with C2C offline?

I think this thread is meant for DCB/Infania
Please raise it in relevant thread. You'll definitely get the answer.

Can anyone share their experience of hdfc card upgrade through the offline form drop at bank/atm? How much time does it take to reach their Chennai office & for them to respond? I sent it from Bangalore.
