My experience of closing idfc select card and applying for wealth card - A big fail converted to success

So I closed my Idfc select card having 1,80,000 limit as Idfc didn't upgrade it to wealth.

Closed wealth card 2 weeks ago. Today applied on idfc portal two times using a different number.

1. First time
Put real monthly income as 1,40,000 and existing card of amex limit 6,30,000.
Showed I am eligible for select card of limit 3,00,000. Cancelled the application.

2. Second time
After 30 mins again applied on portal. This time put higher monthly income of 8,00,000 and didn't select existing card option. Showed i am eligible for select card again but this time less limit of 2,22,000. Again cancelled the application.

Seems wealth card not in my luck even after having amex with 6.3 lakhs limit.

What am I doing wrong?

Update :-
3. Third time

With lot of thinking I thought of trying again. This time I put monthly income of 4,00,000 and selected existing card of amex limit 6,30,000 . And guess what Idfc showed wealth card with limit of 10,00,000. Just now did video kyc and waiting for approval/rejection

Final update 29th January :-
Application approved without any home or office verification.

From failure to success. What a journey 😂 IMG_20240129_142229.jpg

I have IDFC Select with 3.4L limit. They are not upgrading to wealth in spite of multiple requests.

I have HDFC Regalia 8L, ICICI Sapphiro with 10L, Kotak White 11L, Axis Airtel with 15L. Which one should I use for fresh application of Wealth after canceling Select? What to give in income proof as income < 3L?
 
Sent them my magnus statement with 5.1 lakh limit ,received below reply

Dear Sir,
Greeting from IDFC FIRST Bank!

We understand your concern.

In order to upgrade your card, we will need to increase your credit limit post which we can check if card is eligible for upgrade. For limit increase we request you to share income documents. Request you to send below documents on banker@idfcfirstbank.com.

Last 3 months of salary slip along with 3 months Bank statement stating Salary Credit with IFSC code and other detail reflecting.

Please note: Limit enhancement and upgrade is subject to assessment basis the document shared and bank's internal policies.

Warm Regards,

That is standard response. I sent them statement with 15L limit and got the same response.
