I am sure this would have been discussed here but there are 200 pages so I cannot find it.

I know criteria to open select and wealth account is 3 or 10L but do I need to maintain this balance? How to upgrade from 0 MAB to wealth what is the trick please.

Buddy, forget the 200 pages. You are in the wrong thread altogether. Just search “idfc wealth” and you’ll get multiple threads with lengthy discussions.
 
Even if it was discussed already, it's whopping 200+ pages, so please
did anyone try using first wealth debit card for fuel spends? Do we get 0.5% reward rate till 50K and post that 2.17% for fuel spends as well? Where can i see the entire list of exclusions, didn't find anywhere so far i have seen?

Slightly out of the loop for IDFC, earlier normal debit card used to give 10X reward points post 20K. Has that changed in the past few months? I only ask ask as I made payments exceeding 20K and was expecting incremental 10X points, but only got regular points.

Yes. You can upgrade family members accounts to select and you don't need to maintain anything but it depends on branch. They may ask for some 3 lac IP for account opening.

He has already a select, why does IP require? Doesn't family banking/ grouping comes under the select program only?

so last week sat called IDFC and said missing point on 1 trnx and now i have 3801 on 74k trnx.. so earlier i have said not to use IDFC DC for IDFC CC payment so now I'm not sure should i initiate 1.34L payment cause on Wednesday i should get a call regarding this but point are reflecting today.
Hi where did you made your first transaction above 1000 Ruppes?
 
I have a question, I just got my new select dc, I know for first 14 days I'll not see my rp credit.

My question is shall I receive my all pending txn rp of rs 2-3L if I spend within the Frist 14 days? Or should I wait until I start receiving rp i.e post 14 days?
 
Is there a significant benefit to Select and Wealth accounts over the normal 25K account? I can see on the first page, that 10X activates after 50K, and the reward limits are slightly higher for Select / Wealth. Is that it?

If you can wait.. cause if trnx doesn't show up you need to call cs and raise request manually. So no harm either way it all depends on you.
