My HDFC Bank savings account was opened as a salary account and I got Easyshop Platinum DC along with the kit. Today I received the same Easyshop Platinum DC as my current DC is expiring in December 2022.

I've been Preferred banking customer for a few years now, shouldn't I get Preferred Platinum DC instead of Easyshop Platnium DC ??

Also, how and where do I raise this issue? I talked to my RM and he knows nothing about this.

"Easyshop" is a branding, is "preferred" written on the card at top left? Yes, then you got the correct thing.

Its same as easyshop debit card. I also got the same card. For credit card bill payment cashback it is working no issues at all

Yes, you're right but I do need the Preferred one, looks different from the normal Platinum one.

 Do as @Aravind_18 said, that's the way. If still you receive the usual one, email to preferred banking id. @sahil1033

@sahil1033 Almost all fees including debit card related are waived for Classic customers and upward programs...

Does it make a difference which platinum debit card one have? They have 4 types of platinum cards (imperia, preferred, classic and normal) which says which banking program the customers are in. From HDFC website, features wise they all are same.

I haven't made feature by feature comparison yet but all are probably the same, no difference except for look and feel plus the premium banking badge embossed on the card.

Earlier I had a notion that there's a difference in coverage of accidental coverage but I found the coverage amount to be same across all the variants.

Thanks everyone for the inputs, when I chose the option to 'Upgrade' and opted for Platinum debit card, I got the Preferred Platinum DC.

@Aravind_18 I currently have easy shop platinum card, the only transaction I do using the debit card are on mobikwik credit card bill payment of 50-60k, just now I checked and there was a cashback 1.0 percent cashback points of 650, while checking in the statement I see payment on credit card using mobikwik are mentioned as POS XXXX mobikiwk and not wallet load transaction. To conclude, it seems like I am already getting 1 percent cashback while paying credit card bills using mobikwik. Even on the HDFC website it's mentioned that for both non preferred and preferred we would get 1 percent cashback. please correct me if my understanding is wrong, as i don't see any difference between both??

Easy shop Platinum card benefits are same for both preferred and non preferred customers .Only preferred branding will get added to the card if you order a new preferred platinum card.

I hope it is clear and I'm not confusing you further.
