Go to debit card upgrade section. Order platinum card. Preferred would be engraved on it. It's free.

2)If I order a cheque book now will it have preferred printed on it?

Yes

1) login to netbanking -> cards -> debit card -> upgrade card and select platinum debit card. You will receive the preferred platinum dc with your name even though it's not mentioned in the upgrade page.
2) Not sure about cheque book

Maintain 2L, you'll get the pre-approved offer

Auto method keep 2l in ur account for a quarter
Manual way once ur account has 2l go to base branch and place request with account upgrade form

I opened max account 1 month back and at the time of opening I asked the person at the branch to upgrade my account to classic as soon as it opens, I called her after a week and asked her to upgrade she said ok but I got no text message for upgrading, then after one more week I again called her she said ok but no text message, then yesterday I visited the branch she immediately upgraded my account.
Either you can visit the branch and ask them to upgrade
OR
You can maintain 2L in your account and you will get pre approved offer, but this can take few months

Nothing much. You've to pay brokerage on percentage basis which costs too much as compared to discount brokers.

Nothing that justifies their ridiculous brokerage charges.

I too got upgrade offer from standard to classic.
while upgrading I'm getting option to change branch, will that update to my base branch? & in future if they downgrade which would be my branch?

Don't change branch. It'll be the same if downgraded. Then you'll have to take hassle for changing it again.

I tried calling the preferred banking customer care but it says that your mobile no. is not registered in the preferred banking

It takes a few days (3-4 working) to like register your number under the Premium Customer Care

Btw it really makes no diff tbh; at least for Preferred and Classic customers; the people who answer regular phone banking calls; are the same ones to answer for Preferred and Classic customers😐
