Recently, I am getting HDFC diners black offer in my HDFC salary account but with annual and joining fee, is there a way to get this free for first year or how can i get infinia?
I have a salary account in HDFC with salary just shy of 3lcs. Do i need to connect with my branch or is there any online process as well, because my branch is bit far from where i stay right now?

You may apply online. The card will be first year free if you spend 1.5 lakhs in first 90 days.

you can try for infinia at the branch if your inhand is just shy of 3 lacs per month. if the branch declines try emailing grievance redressal about getting infinia straight away

Is this any exclusive offer because in the portal during apply it only shows you will get Marriott, prime and swiggy membership which is not worth 10k.

Check the same offer in https://mycards.hdfcbank.com usually all the upgrades are issued as first year free. It shows as paid to me too on net banking but on mycards site it shows as FYF which was confirmed by customer care as well.
