Apply for private then.
Private > Wealth > Select > Classic
 
ShockShit, yes OOS bhi nahi pura hata hi diya 😬
Oh My God Omg GIF
 
Guys as I reached monthly cap and I probably got way less points than I should have, you think I should upgrade? for next 2 months I know this much that I will be making cc paying atleast 3L/month. I think it's time to upgrade my debit card. How to do so? can I do it automatically in app or talk to CC or RM??

I have the 10k AMB account, do I need to upgrade to 25k AMB acc?

and which debit card should I upgrade to?

AMB 3L > Select
AMB 10L > Wealth

No need to upgrade to 25K acc
 
I didn't get it. AMB means average monthly bal right, so you are saying I need to have 3L average monthly bal in order to get select card???
Yes. but you can raise request through RM once your balance is 3L. But it depends on RM whether he raise request to upgrade right away after 3L balance or when your AMB showing 3L.

You are very rich, you should consider private one.

IDFC provides good interest also.

Kam daam mein acha kaam (based on daam) then go with select.

Click on close to rectangular shape red colour box, where available balance, add money, with account number are mentioned. After clicking u need to scroll up lil bit. 2nd last info is about AMB before Nominee name and after Primary Holder name.

Just checked, 12.5k AMB, you were calling me rich? 🤣

These 5L/month bills are just coz I revolved some money for my brother and he paid those dues in 3 emi's + laptop/iphone purchase for myself. Calm down. After 2-3 months, my normal cc bills are like 30-60k/month max.

btw this amb is prolly for this month (3rd dec so 3 days), I can transfr if RM says so to make the bal like 3-5L but can u tell me where it says i need to have 3L amb to apply for other debit cards? and are there higher fees for them?

Btw I do have 10L+ FD's in IDFC, can they upgrade me basis on that? or the money has to be in savings acc?
