What's that Credit Card you got with minimum effort and maximum effort?

I just had little more self-respect that why I blacklisted HDFC.
I also had similar exp with HDFC, I mailed to Chennai office and asked for Infinia based on ITR and other cc spends. I had regalia ltf which I have not used much. Even with 10L spend in 6months on amex and atlas with foreign spends of 6L they rejected the application without any reason. I contacted HDFC MD then same responses then I just told them If you cant respect HNI then I also in no need to keep any relationship with HDFC. I will be closing all hdfc products (cc,saving accounts, pension funds, insurances) from my all-family members and I did that. Its junk bank with no respect to customers.
P.S. INFINIA is not cc, its product they gave in exchange of ULIPS
 
Seems like Infinia will be a tough one to get..

Just spoke with HDFC about it.
New requirements:
if you go to Millenia then Infinia approval chances is absolutely 0

New Criteria are as below
  1. Card: Regalia and above (Millenia is below Regalia)
  2. Limit: 10L but can negotiate to 8L
  3. Spends: 9L in last 6 months
  4. Salary - Only payslip is considered
  5. Business - Only ITR is considered
So I have 3 cards from HDFC, Regalia First, Bonvoy, Swiggy.
Just spoke with HDFC RM who connected me to the branch Credit Card.
They said 2 more conditions would be required:
1. 9L spends would need to be done on Regalia First. (Abysmal waste of rewards...)
2. Closure of all other HDFC credit cards.. not sure why. So RIP Bonvoy and Swiggy. But I don't want to close Bonvoy for the loyalty tier..
 
I don't think now I'll ever get SBI cashback card bcz of over leverage policy

and Apay bcz the ICICI person told me the weirdest reason I've ever heard for rejection- you're 30 yrs old, so no card for you
Thats wrong info, try through other sources. Or apply directly by urself in icici site

Ok what i suggest you now is, take DCB upgrade through priority redressal. Almost same reward rate as infinia. Start heavy spending when u r ready for infinia attempts

So basically according to him, one can get cards only between 18 - 30 yrs of age. Start trying for EPM/Infinia type of cards from childhood and by the time you turn 29 one would get it
