HDFC Bank Infinia is the best credit card available in India for frequent air travellers. HDFC Bank market this credit card as an invite only card, but in reality you can actually apply for this card.

If you don't have ITR of 43L/24L you can still get HDFC Infinia/DCB, you have to fulfil some other criteria.

How much time does it take for new application of Infinia through branch to proceed. I have applied 10 days back and received verification call on Saturday and after than there has been no progress and in portal its showing as in progress. I will be out of town in 6 days and hens wondering if will receive before that.

You should have taken DCB plastic earlier. It required 4 lakhs spends in 6 months and fee waiver if spend 5 lakhs in a year. It would have solved your lounge access problem. Now if you can spend 8 lakhs in a year you can still go for DCB metal.

My father doesn't visit the CC section of his internet banking as it has been on Autopay since the beginning from his account. His regalia upgrade was also automatically done by the bank and I am new to the CC game as only recently started to earn enough. So if we ever got the upgrade offer for DCB, we never got to know. Maybe he got the offer or maybe he never did, in any case, the netbanking section is saying the card is not eligible for upgrade currently.

Will try to increase spends and email again but skeptical about reaching 7.5L in 6 months. We own a home so rent is not an option and insurance premiums are also not that high since he gets them from LIC and the major premiums are deducted from pension at source.

1) sending physical docs not required. Send on email to escalation / grievances desk.
2) without spends of 7.5 difficult to get upgraded.
3) as retired, don't know what else they may ask for especially if you push on itr basis.
4) suggestion is to spend and then email to upgrade. And then keep pushing. Limit is already high enough so only concern is spend. Ignore rm.

  1. We sent the email to grievance.redressalcc@hdfcbank.com and got the reply from escalation.cc@hdfcbank.com Is there another email we can try sending to?
  2. Yes that's what I was fearing, will try to increase spends via CC but doubtful of ever reaching 7.5L in 6 months as most of diwali shopping is done already and there are no rent or insurance payments
  3. I never pushed for ITR basis or any basis I selected the checkbox for salary account and didn't attach a payslip or anything. From bank's POV he is still getting monthly credits from LIC so it should still remain as a salary account but it might be just a simple imperia savings account (salary or savings I am not clear on). I don't want to provide a payslip (pension is just below 50K) or ITR(as mentioned previously only exceeds 35L for 1 year)
  4. Thank you for the suggestion and help. We will try but the prospects are looking bleak. When applying through the second card offer from their netbanking we are getting DCP FYF which I don't think is worth it as LTF matters more to my father than lounges(which we can use dreamfolks via our cards for the rare times he takes flights)

1) thats expected, once you have some emails back and forth to escalation, then you can reach out to grievance desk. But they do accept online self attested docs.
2) you never know. Might use for a trip or some govt/tax payment or big purchase.
4) Most likely Infinia won't be ltf (net 2.5k you will pay). So, your father may not want it anyways. Don't take DCP please.

Is grievance.redressalcc@hdfcbank.com not the grievance desk? What back and forth CAN be done at all from the escalations mail? They simply said send physical documents, should I push them that I meet every criteria or something? I thought there's no coming back from their email, can we still try?

This is the whole email that we received:

DCB - My Limit Enhancement Experience via C2C - Mission Accomplished 😎

After completing 6 months since the last LE on my HDFC Bank Credit Card, I reached out to HDFC for another LE. Despite the fact I could have got the LE based on ITR easily, I still wanted to try the C2C route. I went through a lot of threads here where they mentioned that they denied LE on other...
