Wierd Upgrade offer for existing HDFC Infinia

[Rishabh]

Weird thing from HDFC today, got Upgrade option available on Net banking for my existing Infinia Credit card.
Initially I thought it might be the option to upgrade from Plastic to Metal variant Infinia card but shocked to see the available upgrade options as: -

- HDFC New Diners Black DOM
- 6E Rewards XL card

Just feel LOL how above can it be called as upgrade for my existing Infinia card.
Also the upgrades offered are chargeable cards.

So 2 things, Visa to Diners variant upgrade/downgrade is possible, secondly not sure if above upgrades hint of any discontinuation of Infinia in future.

And the best part is, I already have DCB black so in case if I go with Upgrade to HDFC DCB from Infinia, I will be having 2 DCB Black cards in hand.
Will be first time someone will have 2 same cards from HDFC

PS: I also hold Diners black card as a second card.

Do you have "infinia level" spends? When is your infinia card expiry?

Not "Infinia level" spends. Expiry in 2024.

huh. Can HDFC deny people from keeping the Infinia, if they ever feel like it or refuse them a renewal?

Might be a glitch in the matrix! 🤣

Came here to post the same. It's showing Regalia and 6E Rewards XL for me. I guess they want LTF Infinia customers to "upgrade" to a lesser premium card.

some customers may upgrade by mistake and they will benefit out of it. 😥

im seeing exactly same 2 cards options and both have annual fees for my LTF Infinia

It looks like a trap, some people might actually click it

Same options for me holding infinia pvc ltf

May be some new feature with glitch as upgrades were not available in the morning.

Received the same two cards. Holding Infinia PVC Paid card

 

[CCgeek]

Same here on my netbanking. Both are paid variants against my Plastic Infinia LTF.

HDFC Upgrades are most of the times downgrades, both for CCs and DCs.

Nope

I have seen someone got moneyback pre-approved offer, while having money back card.

 

[suva]

Received same upgrade for my Regalia First LTF to MoneyBack paid as I was not using my HDFC CARD. My card expiry is also in 2024. Seems HDFC downgrades card if user not completing the spend milestones. This is despite receiving DCB upgrade offer last December but did not go ahead as it was FYF.

 

[cardoptimizer]

Got similar upgrade on my DCB 6-12 months back where it offered to upgrade to 6e rewards and money-back 🤣
