Under this program, you are eligible for a Diners Club Credit Card on Life Time Free basis. The card variant depends upon your Salary and Card Limit. (As updated by the Bank person the eligibility has been relaxed a little on 21-Dec-2022)

I hold Infinia along with Tata Neu Infiniti Card.

Last night my greed took over and coaxed me 😛 to drop an email to HDFC (grievance.redressalcc@hdfcbank.com) to upgrade the Tata Neu Infinity Card to LTF Diners black, under Alumni Scheme. I attached my degree along with Form 16. Just received an email and sms regarding opening of a service request by HDFC Next CRM, resolution by 3rd July 23.

I do not have high hopes, cuz its unlikely they will issue Infinia and Diners Black both to one customer.

Any such precedence here?

Fingers crossed. Lets see.....

Why they will do upgrade from a cobranded card to a core card?
 
The reconsideration request you sent via mail ,you write the same content on a paper and signed it duly and send it to Mail as well as through post to hdfc bank.
But i think they will entertain on your written request via mail also.
" Der aaye durust aaye " 🥳
Got a mail stating their inability to provide me neu infinity and be abide by the bank's decision.

Also got a call that based on my all cards (other bank's) conbined limit i am only eligible for 1.37L limit cc from their end so they can issue tata neu plus card.

How they told you based on other cards? From cibil check or you gave card statement?
 
Cibil check and i gave axis & indusind statement.
Btw i have agreed to settle for tata neu plus. This was my second application for infinity and on tata neu app it's been more than 9 months iirc that i am seeing fyf only.
No worries bro. I also settled with Neu Plus only 🤣 It's HDFC!!
Lucky you that they got convinced with c2c, new approach.
 
Are you sure you just send c2c statements and no income proof to Grievance.Redressalcc@hdfcbank.com
And they agreed to give you LTF PLUS ?
See i applied for infinity on c2c basis already and got rejection and later on i began my reconsideration request chain post which got the info of 1.37L limit and plus variant.

Btw thing is above 1.5L limit, they convert it to infinity i read in many posts here in this forum.


So i am gonna go for LE post receiving.
 
Btw i was in dillema to apply for DCP under alumni offer or not as i was in middle of tata neu cc application. But after knowing about this combined limit story i am confused to wait for how many months to apply for DCP.
