Yes. One can convert Tata Neu to DCB. So Infinia + TataNeu can be converted to Infinia + DCB.
This is the only way to get 2x HDFC core cards.

Yes. One can convert Tata Neu to DCB. So Infinia + TataNeu can be converted to Infinia + DCB.

Is it possible to have Tata Neu and HDFC DCP at the same time? Can we apply both at same time?

I have Pre-approved Tata Neu and applying for DCP through bank offline

Wait till you get DCP.

Don't expect everything from HDFC at the same time. Else you will be one among us having palm in the face'

No, 2x cards only possible for people holding 1x TATA Neu Card. Do you have any Tata Neu Card (Plus or Infinity) with you?

Safe way would be to get limit enhancement of more than 5L and after that you can just mail priority redressal to upgrade the card. You can try it with ITR also but I think with current limit of 55K HDFC might deny the upgrade.

Is it possible to get le to 5 lac with gross income of 24lac

So after hdfc priority redressal team denied Infinia, finally they agreed to give fyf dcb (though I requested for ltf but I am not from one of their listed college).

I am planning to go ahead and upgrade my regalia with 8.5 lakhs limit to dcb and thinking to shift all my expenses to dcb for next 1 year and try to reach at least 5 to 7 lakhs spend in this year so that hdfc offers me LE to 10 lakhs and probably an option to upgrade to Infinia next year.

What do you folks suggest? Does it sound like a feasible plan?

 

[Card_Maddy]

No, 2x cards only possible for people holding 1x TATA Neu Card. Do you have any Tata Neu Card (Plus or Infinity) with you?

No i have Regalia gold and DCB in few days

 

[Card_Maddy]

Well Regalia has 3.4L limit & DCB i have applied now so cannot justify unless i have my hands on it

 

[dominic1229]

So, you mean to say your Regalia Gold might get converted to DCB, right?
It is impossible to get Regalia Gold + DCB unless you use the Tata Neu Card conversion trick.

I am sort of in a similar boat. I just got limit enhancement on LTF Regalia and the limit is 8.5L. I was exploring below 3 options, did you decide on which option to proceed ?

How to get an upgrade to Infinia from 8.5L Limit LTF Regalia ? Any recommendations on what options are optimal ?
Option 1: Move all my spends to Regalia and request for Infinia upgrade after 6 months with a spend of 7.5L ?
Option 2: Move all my spends to Regalia and request for Infinia upgrade after 6 months with a spend of 7.5L + Wait for credit limit to cross 10L ?
Option 3: Request an Upgrade to DCB now and post the upgrade, request an upgrade to Infinia stating that DCB is not acceptable anywhere and ask for Infinia ?

 

[adi.agarwalla]

I just tried to upgrade Regalia to DCB as Regalia had 15 lac+ credit limit but got the following response:

"We wish to inform you that minimum spend amount of Rs.4,00,000.00 is required for Diners Black card upgrade to be achieved from last 6 months."

Any suggestions?

So after giving it a thought, I have applied for FYF DCB just yesterday and plan to move all my spends to DCB (at least to the extent possible). Probably if within this year itself I can get an offer based on spends from HDFC to upgrade to Infinia, then will apply for Infinia.
Took the upgrade considering better reward rates when compared to Regalia and was getting it first year free anyways.
