Rm is saying that m4b fresh can only be applied by itr/salary slip

If that is the case then apply for Old Magnus and request for M4B upgrade. Keep track of the timeline, idk if there is any cooling period for this process. First year joining fee you have to pay. No other option
@mastfun Had applied for M4B directly from Branch LTF. He might be able to help you.

 

[MilesMax]

So i ll have to pay14k initially 😂

I updated the post check

 

[Prav]

I updated the post check

Thnx so it’s confirmed that no c2c for fresh m4b

 

[K.R]

Criteria eligibility is being fulfilled by 10aqb
But what about normal new application procedure

Sir if your Fulfil Burgundy criteria then for fresh card you need to fulfill the credit card criteria for Magnus which used to be 18 or 20 lakhs salary, or C2C with a reputed Bank Like ICICi or HDFC for 10 lakhs and above. For C2C they don't accept every card..fir example they don't accept Citi card 😂No For Magnus for Burgundy Iam not sure if they are not entertaining C2C but in general for New CC they have C2C options with limits based on the card you are applying for

 

[K.R]

Thnx so it’s confirmed that no c2c for fresh m4b

Check in another Branch as well. Your RM might not be interested that much as Magnus for Burgundy is a controversial card right now ,😁

 

[K.R]

Salary is 16.1 Lpa

As Per Axis you are not eligible but they had Given Magnus with 10 lakhs as well in the past at Airports

 

[mastfun]

My application for LTF magnus is still stuck 😀

 

[MilesMax]

Thnx so it’s confirmed that no c2c for fresh m4b

I don't know about that. Wait for @mastfun's reply. I am not sure what income proofs he submitted to apply. As of I remember he got it as an alternative for LTF Select. If you go back a few pages you might find that post.

Yes just the salary slip for 3 months

If it's not processed CC won't expedite or anything. You have to wait for 10 working days. Even after that, it's still in the Eligibility check step, then can call them.
They'll just take the OTP consent and you can see the card instantly on the app.

It happened to me for Atlas.

Also just to let you know there is something called Profiling. A lot d pends on how you have been updated for your profile. A profile with income above 50 Lakhs in their system will get approved easily without salary slips etc 😁

Is it based on the Annual income you entered in the Burgundy Account opening form? If it was so, I would have entered 1Cr 😛

I came to know through HDFC as my profile was wrongly set in their system and I used to get only personal loan offers and EMI conversions. Never got any offer for an upgrade from Times Card,: When I escalated the PNO was very nice he checked and told me the issue and he corrected it after taking some documents from me,,😁 .Now I have Infinia and I get calls once in 3 months asking if the can increase the credit limit

It's not what you entered
.it's basically what they have against you.. All Banks have profiling.. even CBIl does profiling.. you can see the Offers in CIBI based on your profile

 

[K.R]

Just an example I hardly maintain much money in My ICICI but I have upgrade offer for Emerald ( paid offcourse) But since my profile has other strings attached Iam a big client for them.. other strings are 1 CR + homeloan ,multiple current accounts etc
So Basically your Main Bank will always have the best Profile for you as they know you for years. But when you enter a new Bank they don't know you and even if you are Sunder Pichai for them you might be still softwares engg untill the profile is updated

Are you a Wealth banking customer too?
Even my primary account has been ICICI for 8 years. All the big transactions happen there. And the only upgrade I have is Sapphairo paid.
Any idea how to approach ICICI to update the profile?

Any idea how to approach ICICI to update the profile?

I visited ICICI Bank last week to change my ICICI Magnum One account to a normal zero balance account. They opened a Wealth account saying this is a zero balance. I took it. The debit card is on the way.

I also have an LTF Sapphiro dual card from them, but I barely use it. ICICI is generally a good bank with not much of a sales pitch to me so far.

Whereas, the HDFC RM lady has reached another level of personal interaction where I guess we are just one call away from calling each other's families for birthday functions.

Your account number remained the same or did it change after the upgrade? I thought Wealth requires 10L AMB that's the top tier account right?
Also, how did you get the LTF Sapphiro? Is it based on the salary Criteria?

Very true, They just let me be. No sales call at all. Also, even without me ever asking they started giving me amazing Forex inward remittance rates. Even better than IOB.

It's still nice to have Emeralde or Sapphairo LTF than the Coral Card. I never considered emailing pno about this as their cards are pretty meh. Will try to email and see today.

Not useful 😀 Even I have them LTF and never used them!

 

[raviemailid]

This is the trouble bro - I got a whole new account number with a new user ID. I had to go through the whole iMobile banking setup afresh. A pain in the a**, but a wealth zero balance account is good.

Also, how did you get the LTF Sapphiro? Is it based on the salary Criteria?

It was through the Alumni program. My salary is in Kotak.

Yeah - gave them 10L Axis Bank cheque 😛
