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.
Open future first account .
Then fund 10 lakh for upgrade


( Future first is for student from premier institute)

No other trick
Else 10k account & same funding
 
Thanks for replying. They told me that I will get Wealth CC offer after 2 months.
Completely false !
What was your account freezed? Could you please clarify
Account freeze is rare thing ( mass UPI , doing transaction more than balance in the account leads to it ) but usually over turned
Not mine but saw alot of users getting their account freezed for no reason and one of my close friend also got his account freezed and took around 4-5 days for unfreeze. But the thing is why they are freezing in first place?
But if you use dc on sbi unipay ( in 1-2 out of 10 dc will get blocked ) u have to call them to say it was done by you
Scold them
It gets back in few minutes to hour
They will a day
 
Earlier I was using park plus to pay my credit card bill using my IDFC debit card.
Parkplus removed that option.
Then I used bajajfinserv site to pay my card bill.
It was working fine, and I was getting rewards.
It was showing "Worldline Epay" as description for the transactions

Recently I did a transaction on 1jun and now I can see "Bflpocketinsurance"
Any idea if I will get reward point for the transaction. I know 14 working days are not done, but I doubt I will get RP for the transaction
As I have done some other offline transactions after 1 jun and I got reward points for those

Is there any other platform where I can use IDFC debit card to pay credit card bill.

Thanks in advance.

My dc isn't getting blocked anymore. I just get some ivr calls for verfication if i do 2-3 transactions at the same time.

I had a long conversation with customer care and i strictly told them not to block my card transactions.
