what is Club member?

Similar to institutes, there is list of recognized clubs who can avail the card under HDFC program. So if one is member of such clubs, they are eligible to get cards.

 

[jack333]

Can we get dcb if we are member of premium club or need super premium club membership? @desaik231

 

[desaik231]

DCB or DCP depends upon your income criteria and credit limit. As long as your club / institution name is present you would be eligible to apply.

I applied using the link shared in the post.
The credit card support executive told that opening/having a bank account in HDFC is mandatory to apply under the institute programme.
Any suggestions ?

I got my DCB LTF inspired by your post. My experience while applying the card from Kolkata below:

1. Filled up https://v.hdfcbank.com/htdocs/common/dinersblackinstitute/index.html and waited for a week, but no follow up from HDFC
2. Called Yadurya who requested to visit the local HDFC branch in Kolkata
3. Visited one of the smaller branches where they denied any knowledge of the offer, even after showing the DC Alumni portal link
4. Visit a larger branch where they confirmed the offer after speaking with the CC Kolkata Head
5. Handed over the documents, and opened a bank account (having a bank account with HDFC is voluntary and was explained by the bank as well)
6. No follow up or confirmation calls received, I got the credit card in my mail (with college initials engraved on the card) within 10 days

Thanks @desaik231 for my first super premium card! 😎
