I was holding a Regalia MC card, LTF variant and got a notification from HDFC App stating an upgrade to MC Metal Infinia FYF. Opened Netbanking and accepted the upgrade today, got an error as soon as I accepted, no mail or SMS confirmation as well. However, I am able to see my new card in the App and not on net banking as of now. I guess the upgrade was successful, hopefully will get the card in a few days!
To see, your new card in Net Banking, go to credit card requests and click on "transferred card registration".

Unable to see the card there as well. On the app, it is showing my Regalia as Transfer Out and the Infinia as Transfer In. I have also applied for Addons right away, havent received any confirmation though :P

Just saw somewhere that hdfc isn't issuing add on cards for MasterCard because of RBI guidelines.

Got an Infinia for my wife which was pre approved. I've added it to mycards which shows a generic image which says visa infinite, but I'll have to wait for the card to get delivered to know for sure.
 
Got the upgrade to Infinia Metal Edition FYF option today and opted for it as it is FYF. I have Regalia card from 12 years and my credit limit is 14.5L. I haven't used Regalia in the last two years except a transaction worth 1200rs in the last month. Got HDFC Tata Neu Card two months back and did some good amount of transactions. Not sure if that counted. I would think of renewal once I understand if it adds any value to my overall spending. I have SC Ultimate, Axis Magnus in the premium cards category.

From the HDFC Mobile app, you can check the first 6 digits of the card and check them using the below link to determine the variant. Mine is Mastercard World, although MyCards app shows a generic image of Visa Infinite.
