Are people still doing ULIP in 2023?

If you are still keen, first get the card and then do it. And that too LTF is offered?? He is just closing his target and the fat commission.

Yes I am not in favor of ULIP but if he can give INFINIA LTF then is this offer good enough to consider??

Still No. Think they have 20-40% commission in 1st year. And some more again in remaining years. Infinia gives vouchers for fees paid. So why bother.

Salary criteria and Limit on hdfc card does not fullfill that's the issue

If you know this, do you think the hdfc credit review system would not? I dont think your rm will be able to override the process/system on his own.

If you dont mind me asking, why do you need infinia? Whats your use case? I feel for someone who doesn't travel much, its not worth the hype.

My spend is around 6-7 lac and travel 6-7 times a year
Currently holding DCB 7.6 lac limit and salary 1.75/m

You have to check the ULIP and compare against the fee paid to see whether it makes sense. I stay away from ULIP and don't mix investment with credit cards.

Then you're not too far from the criteria anyways. What was the response when you requested them for upgrade over email ?

Anyways, Wait for some time for LE, you may get infina offer from hdfc directly. If possible, spend some more in a couple of months and then request for LE. Spend and Limit are main creteria rather than income.

You will not get Infinia even if you buy 10 lac ULIP.
Your RM is fooling you!

I never heard anyone getting infinia ltf ? Is it possible ?

There are many on the forum someone in Chandigarh got metal LTF by opening HDFC account with 30 lakh initial finding

7.5L spend and 8L CL seems to be hurdle. There is a thread which also talks about these numbers.
But yeah, can only push them, no guarantees.
