Is anyone successful in negotiating the salary eligibility? I have a take home salary of 1.3L and I'm an alumnus of an IIT, should I give this a try?

If your existing HDFC CC limit is more than 5L then you can give it a try with your current salary. They will request your payslip and most probably you will get DCB.

Thanks for sharing. I received my DCB LTF yesterday.

Hey folks, I already have DCP LTF which I got 3 months back. My college is on the list. Is it possible to get DCP upgraded to DCB LTF via this program?

This will depend on the limit. If it 5 and above then you can visit branch and apply for sure.
I had received upgrade offer for DCB basis my Diners privilege but it was not LTF. I then visited branch and applied basis my institution degree certificate and got LTF DCB delivered in 7 days.

 

[shyamdhanuka]

Did you get the welcome offers as mentioned on HDFC website (Timesptime membership, amazon prime, etc etc) even when this card is LTF? Or what what exactly is the difference when we apply this card via institute program and when we apply fresh from the HDFC website like a normal person.

Any difference?

I have LTF DCB, I had raised a request for the same on the hdfc cc grievance mail. I have received below reply.

"We have raised your concern to an appropriate review and wish to clarify that to become eligible for the Welcome benefits of Diners Black card you have to met spends of Rs. 1,50,000.00 within the first 90 days from the card issuance date. The benefits will be communicated to your registered contact details within 60 days of conditions being met."

Hi, will the rent payment be counted towards the milestone benefit for 1.5L milestone?

 

[sajocmathew]

Can someone provide contact details of person from Chennai who can help with applying under this program.

You may visit any HDFC Branch, they will help with the application.

 

[AJ331]

I had obtained DCP LTF under Alumni offer about 8 months back and wrote to priority redressal email HDFC and they upgraded it to DCB LTF under the Alumni program. In 1 week the card was delivered. I am missing the salary criteria by a small margin though

I had other relationships with HDFC (FD/ Savings with good balance etc..)

 

[Divyank gulabani]

Can someone please share list of clubs eligible for this programme ?

 

[bossman]

I got my DCP approved today under this program.
My salary is around 1.48p.m. but the agent didn't budge for DCB, said if it's not 1.75+, you can't get DCB.

Not sure now that I've availed the program, HDFC will upgrade it to DCB LTF even if my salary increases to 1.75 later in the future.

[insanegenius]

Is the offer only for full time students of the institutes or do even exec course/online course folks with a certificate qualify? ;-)

I had availed DCP via alumni program last year as salary was less than 1.75 and 9 months later they upgraded it to DCB LTF at my request and my salary is still less than 1.75 (only 1 % increase from the time I had applied in June 2022) but I have some other relationship with HDFC in the form of FD, may be that helped

Limit of your DCP ?

 

[AJ331]

Limit of your DCP ?

was 5L initially then just in March 2023 increase to 6.51 which is the limit of my DCB now

 

[pprakash11]

was 5L initially then just in March 2023 increase to 6.51 which is the limit of my DCB now

Obviously without a doubt they upgraded to DCB, as you already above floor limit reqd for DCB

I also have opened FD (2 lacs) with HDFC. I'll try requesting update after 5-6 months then.

 

[bossman]

What is this floor limit? They have given me 6.9 lacs limit on my DCP.

You tell them to upgrade to DCB.

Floor limit for DCB is 5L
