what after 1 year ? when it’ll be chargeable

Close it or try for retention offer or downgrade to LTF Regalia

I got the DCB card 4 years back but it was chargeable. I didn’t know it could be LTF. I am eligible though, but will they make it LTF now?

No harm in asking for it. Ideally, they should do it.

I'm alumni of one eligible institutes, I just want a LTF HDFC Core Card (DCP / DCB / Millenia whatever).

1. What's the income criteria for self employed for alumni offer?
2. Has anyone tried applying via this link: https://leads.hdfcbank.com/applicat...ndex.aspx?sourcecode=EWDP&promocode=testleads
3. If the link seems useless, any good offline agent in Bangalore who can help with the application?

I hold an Infinia (upgraded from Regalia a couple of months ago), and also a Shoppers Stop HDFC Credit Card. Given my travel expenses, I find Infinia's 15k capping a restriction. Will they give me DCB for free? I am from one of the institutes listed in the sheet. Anyone holds an Infinia and DCB?

Interested to know if anyone got both DCB and Infinia.

How to get both?

I have DCB LTF (alumni) which I am upgrading to Infinia.

I also have Marriot bonvoy. Can this be upgraded to DCB Metal FYF (alumni)?

I mailed them, under the life time free alumni option- initially they asked for my degree certificates, later they said because i already hold infinia, they can't give me DCB. I mailed to the PNO, a couple of times, and had a good fight with those guys- lastly they just said no more queries on this will be entertained, on which i replied that as a customer it's my right to know, and how can they say that my queries won't be entertained further. Shitty experience, not expected from HDFC.
As a retalliation i closed my FD, Bank Account and the Shoppers Stop card with them.

also can I keep swiggy + tata + millenia on a shared limit or it will make hdfc nodal officer mad?

if u have, keep it. and i think there's no limit on co-branded cards. so HDFC has this policy of 1 main card (millenia, infinia, dcb) and multiple co-branded cards with shared limit.

 

[shrirang]

To get DCB, I applied for DCP C2C. Got DCP around 6-8 months back with 1L limit.

There's no LE offer yet although I spent heavily with DCP.

If I close the DCP LTF card and apply again for DCB after 3-4 months, is there any chance I could get DCB?

Current highest limit 6.8 L Sapphiro
