You opened classic account?
 
You opened classic account?
Yes. And so after 14 days I start to receive points? I have many cc bills due more than one lakh what if I pay these bills? Do I get all those points for 1L spend in bulk after 14 days? Or should I wait 14 days then start spending on this dc?

Wait till your account gets active on Firstrewards. Don't spend from this card now.
 
Guys I have regular savings account and my idfc app says wealth account over the account balance but nothing else has changed for me. I did give a consent form 2 months ago, prior to the rewards on the card. But now I don't wish to change as wealth dc have too low rewards.

I also have hdfc plat dc and rbl signature but I max them out almost every month.

Jab jarurat thi tab Diya nahi aur ab jabardasti de rahe hai . Vese regular dc abhi bhi chal Raha hai, soch Raha hu unbilled cc bill bhi abhi bhar du jab Tak Jaan hai dc me.

Edit:- i see wealth dc in my account as well🥲. Kuch Kamane ke pehele hi kissa khatam.
