Infinia How to upgrade to Infinia without holding an HDFC account?

[ankit_tf]

Hi All,

I am currently using DCB LTF with 10L limit (now shared with Tata Neu), and this card is about 5 yr old. Before that I held regalia and times card too. Even had salary and then classic account for few years but have closed it.

When I had classic account, about 4 yrs back, my RM told me it needs 4L salary credit, not just gross salary, which was insane as I think on the website it was mentioned to have about ITR of 30L+ which I already fulfilled. But then I didn't pursue the idea of inifinia further that time as that RM was not helpful too.

As far as my spendings are concerned they are not very high as I am holding so many cards. I think in last 6 months it must have been 2L spends (another 1L if I can add Tata Neu spends as well if it works like that)

Now, I don't have any active savings account, so just want to know what are the chances to upgrade it, that too LTF.

Send email to Grievance.Redressal@hdfcbank.com with your salary slip and ITR with upgrade request. The pace with which they are issuing infinia now a days, might help you to get one.. They may come back with a decision in week's time.

Alternative is to send the card upgrade request form to Chennai with docs and wait to hear from them.

Getting Infinia is a task and LTF is another task, so without high spends it is difficult to get it. Try sending mail to Grievance.Redressal@hdfcbank.com with relevant docs.

If your spends are above 8L in the past 6 months then that itself is enough to get infinia by mentioning that your spends are high and due to diner's acceptability issue u r facing issue with certain merchants.

How to get infinia, after closing my Millennia card 6 months back ?.
Millennia had a 5 lakh limit

 

[wiizzard]

Infinia Metal LTF is not a real possibility for most.
But you can easily upgrade your diners to Infinia if your credit limit on diners > 8 lacs and last 6 months spends are > 7.5 lacs .
In that case just write to PriorityRedressal.CreditCards@hdfcbank.com
and they will upgrade your card. Usually it will be first year free and if you are a heavy spender / will be using it as your primary card, then the annual fee waiver shouldn't be an issue anyway. Plus even if you pay the fee, you get equivalent points, so you only bear the GST out of pocket. Pretty much worth it for Infinia

I had my LTF DCB upgraded to Infinia metal FYF some time back. I had my spends crossing 7.5 lakhs in past 6 months and sent a mail to grievience redressal. I had a limit of only 5 lakhs in my DCB at that time as i have got the DCB LTF just 6 months prior through Alumni program.

I feel they just check the spends and if it meets the spends criteria they accept it straight away.

This is not true, they check multiple params and spends is one of them. I met spend target twice and they denied despite RM telling me to spend.

I had to put up a fight for few months with RBI involved and a whole bunch of people in chain to finally give the card...lmao

DCB FYF to Infinia FYF.

Did you get higher limit on infinia then dcb ?

Yes, initially when LTF DCB was approved limit was upgraded to 5L. Later, DCB->Infinia Limit upgraded to 8L.

As you said, it might be possible that they would have even checked my Income criteria along with spends !! This was my experience interacting with HDFC.

Can I get Infinia if I show them that I have AmEx Platinum with 18L spending in last 6 months? I have a HDFC savings account and a LTF Millennia CC (had Diners Club Privilege CC but canceled it since I found it to be useless) but no investments or FD with them.

hmm nope, you can't get one cc on the merit of spending on any other cc.. check post on admin how to get infinia through upgrade or any other thread cause there are multiple success stories of getting infinia either NTB or through upgrade. both would be paid or FYF.

I don't have a problem if it's not LTF, pretty sure that I will cross the 10/12L spend limit for fee waiver, the only problem is getting the card itself. I currently don't meet their net monthly salary criteria though. Was hoping Platinum would get me Infinia since I want to cancel that soon

Obviously. You can try. Just follow the escalation matrix
Anything is possible in banking world.

Update: HDFC Bank just updated my credit limit from 4L on Millennia to 12.33L today, even though Millennia usage has been a max of 5k per month over the last 10 months. Can I now use this to get upgraded to Infinia somehow? 🤔
I have not emailed them yet, I was contemplating my next move to get Infinia Metal.

Unlikely they will do it because along with a limit criteria of 10 lakhs a month they also have a spend criteria of 7.5 lakhs over the last 6 months..

A bit off-topic, but do you have any other HDFC card except Millenia, a, core or co-branded? Stupid HDFC hasn't given me an LE since the last two years, especially since I got the Tata Neu. Just trying to find out if that's the issue.
