Hi, thanks for this info! I have a LTF Regalia with 6.86L limit. Do you think I can get Infinia by this method by ticking limit increase + upgrade option? Or should I just apply for limit increase first? (Have no income documents to submit but am a preferred account holder and spent 8 lakhs+ on my regalia in the past 9-10 months). Thanks!

Difficult, you can try requesting them.

Is the Regalia that you got LTF?

Just add a biller to your cc and then your regalia converts to ltf

I got pre approved offer from regalia to infinia but had to wait a lot. At first, i was offered Ltf DCB but I didn’t accept. After 3 months from Dcb upgrade offer, i saw i was approved for Infinia 😊

Can you please share the below details -

1.) Since how long have you been holding regalia?
2.) Limit on regalia when you got offer for DCB and then limit on regalia when you got offer for Infinia
3.) How much time did it take to get approved offer, that is the time between when you got the regalia for first time and then got infinia

I was with Regalia for one and half year approx. The limit was 7.5 L when i was offered DCB. Then after a month I got limit increase from 7.5L to 9L. And after two months I got upgrade for Infinia.
One imp thing( my spending was about 22L in the last financial year)

Did you get LTF Infinia ?

 

[7faizbook]

Did you get LTF Infinia ?

I got metal infinia and its a chargeable card in any case.

 

[viveksingh1005]

when did this happened? is infania LTF?

[7faizbook]

when did this happened? is infania LTF?

Two months back, infinia metal is chargeable at any cost.

 

[7faizbook]

Then you got LTF Infinia?

No bro its chargeable

 

[7faizbook]

Why would I add a biller if I can get LTF without adding biller

This is when they dont give the regalia as LTF

 

[7faizbook]

Bro i was regalia user for approx 20 months.

@soumendunanda I sent the docs through email after reading this.

yes hoping for the same

 

[soumendunanda]

I don't have. My spending is such that I can easily achieve DCB/Regalia fee waiver. I have business moneyback with 75K limit currently.

My plan is following:
To tick 'limit increase and card option' in upgrade form and send to Chennai CC branch. (Main CC branch). I'll be ticking DCB. If they can give DCB LTF, well and good. If they can't, I will be negotiating for Regalia LTF or something in the worst case. I also have preferred banking relationship.

Hoping for something to happen in these lines, let's see.

So what happened?any update on this?

 

[nitrogenSinghnitrogenSingh is verified member.]

yes hoping for the same

let us know the update when it comes

Difficult, you can try requesting them.

Thanks. I tried but they said they'll review my request to upgrade if I can get the limit enhancement first for which they're asking me income documents. I mentioned my long relationship with the bank but that was of no use. I asked them to cancel the request altogether. HDFC sadly isn't what it used to be.🙁

Ask for DCB, after limit enhancement to 8 lakhs, raise a request again for Infinia.

 

[gurubhai]

No bro its chargeable

Is there no chance of getting Infinia Metal LTF at the moment?
