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.
Have you read that post that if someone gets Tata Neu as first card then he can't get a core HDFC Card as second card ??

I think yesterday someone created one thread on this

Hdfc is expert in quoting different rules for different people. If they want to give they will otherwise they can bring up new and lame excuses also. Someone got infinia even with limit 70k. Someone got renewal benefits decreased to 5l for infinia. Some twitter guy got infinia upgraded for his wife at 3l limit
 
Damn. Don't you use that card or what?😂
In fact, I use it regularly, but I still don't know why they never give me a LE. I have never even bothered to ask them to reevaluate my limit. Now that I have better cards in my portfolio, I don't see the need to ask them for a credit limit increase or upgrade. I know their standard reply will be to send documents to their Chennai Office. 😂
 
I applied for DCP few months back and HDFC is so incompetent that they sent a person to my office in bengaluru, a person at home (infront of me) and yet those morons failed my home verification because they filled my wrong address themselves in some internal form. After a lot of follow up and complaints, I got fed up and left this altogether.

Recently I saw DCP was heavily devalued and the only plus point of having DCP now are:
  1. New offer introduced for B1G1 movie offer
  2. Complimentary international lounge (This is also useless now due to new condn of 15K spend in previous quarter)
So movie offer is the only thing which makes it worth even applying for. Correct me if I am wrong or if I am missing anything.
Shall I still go ahead and re apply for this crap since I have no card/ relation with HDFC till now?
OR
Is there any option to get Tata Neu Infinity as LTF via alumni program?

True! Anything is possible when it comes to HDFC Bank.

HDFC Bank: Expect the Unexpected! 🤣
 
No alumni program to tata cards. Atleast as per this form. But someone said under alumni we can get any card. As the guys are telling that anything is possible with hdfc.
