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.

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

Apply For LTF AU LIT Credit Card

Hello Experts. Need some help with my situation.

I have an Imperia Salary Account with HDFC bank opened in Jan 2023. Along with the account i got a Regalia Credit Card with a limit of 300000. I requested for limit enhancement in March 2024. using my last 3 years of ITR. They increased the limit to 430000 and said this is the best they can do. I also have a tata neu infinity card with the same shared limit. Going by threads on this forum, tata neu card possession may be playing a role in me not getting any limit enhancement offers over the past 1.5 years. Coming to the NRV with the bank, i think it is reasonable with over 25 lacs across the savings account, FD, Demat and loan.

Given this situation, what is the best way to get my hands on Infinia ? I can easily meet the spend criteria for 6 months but credit limit condition is a problem. Is it advisable to close my existing HDFC credit cards and directly apply for Infinia after a cool of period ? I meet the ITR criteria of more than 43 Lacs handsomely. Kindly advise.

I was unfortunately rejected for upgrade to Infinia from my existing Regalia Gold (9.7 Lakhs limit). I was previously upgraded from Millennia on February and have completed the 7.5 Lakhs spend milestone (I was keeping track of it in Regalia rewards portal, I got the second flight voucher). Though one thing to note is that it has not been 6 months since I upgraded to Regalia. Should I try again after the 6th month? I would cross 8 Lakhs spends till then.

I also have a tata neu infinity card. Should I close it for a better chance?

Latest update on this - I visited HDFC branch today (one of the biggest in Mumbai). For anyone to upgrade to Infinia, bank needs only 2 criteria to be fulfilled:
  1. Last 6 months spend = 7.5 Lakh
  2. Current HDFC CC limit = 8 Lakh and above
No need to have any minimum income or any other. The guy said he can upgrade my DCB immediately if I meet the criteria above.

Can I have his number please

Does this mean that I can try again after crossing 8 Lakhs spends? Did anyone have received similar response from them?

My spouse already have infinia. Applied Marriott Bonvoy through their app which redirected to hdfc website.

Application was approved & card was visible yesterday morning in the MyCard app. Received last 4 digit of card to generate pin & application approval pdf on email.

Card was added after putting last 4 digit.

The issue is now that after adding up,it shows card is blocked. Temporary limit of 5k is also assigned. But she can't activate it as it's showing blocked.

Called customer care, they were clueless. Just asked me to wait. Today early morning she got card dispatched message & it will be delivered by 22nd July.

I have raised issue to priority redressal & got reply by grievance that they will reply by 24th July.

Any advice why this issue happened & what can be done?

Hi,

I got an increase in my credit limit from 613000 to 20L for my regalia gold today. So I am assuming I meet the CL requirement for infinia. How much do I need to spend approximately to qualify? and how long do I need to wait before asking for an upgrade ?

about 7.5 or 8L spends in the last 6 months and as soon as you get this criteria satisfied you can ask for Infina upgrade.. no need to wait for any amount of time.. ig

I have Regalia LTF with 8L+ limit, and now I am getting pre-approved LTF offer to upgrade to Regalia Gold (confirmed with CC Support).
Should I take upgrade offer for let it pass.
My aim is to get INFINIA LTF.
Salary : little less than min limit for consideration
Spends : Max it goes to 4L on CC in a year, will not reach 7.5L+ in 6 months even in next 2-3 yrs.
