As long as no devaluation of current infinia, they can launch anything they like…

That's true for a lot of bank not only HDFC 🙂 Loyality isn't given its due

There is a degree for everything for which it is applied to..
In the case of HDFC, it is >= ∞ here

Why is it called Infinia Reserve, doesnt Reserve mean it is a bench/staging ground for the next higher tier, like Plat Reserve for Plat Charge? Or am I thinking in the opposite?

While your logic is correct and Amex Naming is correct. I can think of another example in the other direction. Kotak. They have White and White Reserve with Reserve being higher than White. I don't know the reason though why they name like this. 🤷‍♂️

Reserve is supposed to be a higher tier. Amex naming is at fault here.

Interesting, Reserve then is used for exclusivity instead of Reserving for the next tier.

Even Yes Bank has renamed its Yes First Exclusive

Yes bank also changing the name of their card of Yes First Exclusive to Reserv. So the trend is to have "Reserv" in Credit Card name

When everyone gets Reserved then Unreserved guys will become Premium customers....

Asked gievence redressal team to upgrade from DCB to Infinia which was rejected without explanation. I met spend criteria but dont have enough limit for infinia to requested for LE along with upgrade( didin't receive LE for long time). Should I try for next level escalation? How much RM can help(I have classic program)?

Whats the harm in trying?

But 8L+ min required CL. What were your spends and CL?

CL is 5.3 lakhs and spent more than 8.5 lakhs in last 6 months. Where to escalate in next level?

Received no reply from HDFC about duplicate Cibil removal

Recently I got Tata Neu infinity HDFC credit card and I saw that there were two cibil hits on 31st Oct from HDFC for this card. I got the cibil report from axis cibil report website and attached it along with the control number and mailed to HDFC priority and Grievance Redressal email ids for...

www.technofino.in

See here. But first you need to ask them to increase cl to 8L.
