What's your HDFC Credit Card journey?

What was your first card, in how much time did you get an upgrade to which card & was it manual or automatic?

Moneyback : I got my first card in mid 2021. It was a pre-approved offer in my HDFC bank account & I got it without much documentation with a 30K limit.

Moneyback+ : This was an automatic upgrade I got exactly a year later in 2022. The limit wasn't increased.

You've been low-balled by HDFC. By now you should've been in the DCB/Infinia league.

@DimeDime Regalia maybe but definitely not dcb/infinia. Just because many ppl here got dcb/infinia upgrade within few years doesn't mean it is the norm.

Infinia is the best thing that has happened to me.. Got in 2019 and received 25L limit and have received over 30L points and they are converted to amz gift card during the 70% points promo sale period ---> converted to Gold coins in 2021 and 2022. What happed with the gold prices is something that we all know smile  Paid those card payments through Cred during initial days and won trip to london, several bose speakers etc, got a ipad from HDFC during 2021 sale event.

So.. Infinia is the best !! Its truly a NO BS card!

Similar story got my first HDFC CC Titanium in 2011 with a limit of ~35K . Later in about 3 years it got changed to Moneyback and lot many CL increments in between. About 2015 it became my secondary card. Now I hardly use this. Money back -> some bharat cards --> now MoneyBack+.  Waiting to upgrade to Millenia.

@cashif glad I am not the only one who had the same opinion.

HDFC reward points are worth 0.3rs for so called premium cards for cash credit. Even with those 5x etc make them to 1% reward rate for statement credit. Only worth if you redeem from smart buy. Even if it gives 5x it can't reach SBI CB card which gives 5% cashback. I will wait for millenia or will close it to make room for another card.

You can always have another card. Hdfc is handy during sales. 🙂

I started LTF in 2006 along with Salary account. It used to called HDFC Gold CC , had 60k limit.

Then Platinum PLUS > Allmiles > Regalia First > Rregalia

I wasn't happy when HDFC Bank was giving away Infinia to everyone and they didn't offer me back in 2019-20. I have over 10L limit then.

Currently have Infinia metal as paid upgrade but my usage has reduced to Tata Neu Infinity (LTF) and Axis Ace nowadays.

2021 - Millennia LTF - 1.5L

2022 - LE to 2L

2023 - Got Tata Neu Infinity LTF. Tried upgrade to DCB LTF under alumni program. They only increased CL to 4L but didn't upgrade saying not eligible. Maybe because used neu extensively but haven't used millennia much in last 6 months.

Did not change from Regalia for long term. It was Regalia first earlier. Its a paid card. Do you suggest good upgrades?

The main reason for not upgrading is that i may not meet spend limits of other cards. But usually 5 to 8L spends in an year is reached

Started with LTF HDFC CC (salary account) in 2006 . In a few years, it was upgraded to Regalia and was my primary until 2018 or so . Once ACE came into the wallet, Regalia was completely ignored, except for international payments.

Got Tata Neu Infinity in 2022 when it was launched. This one and Ace are my primary cards. A pay for all Amazon purchases.

January 2018 - Got Freedom CC with a mere 25k credit limit while opening salary account with HDFC Bank.

Don't remember exact timelines but then I was offered Regalia First CC which I had to make LTF by performing Smartpay transactions for 3 months.

Then got Regalia LTF as an upgrade having current credit limit of 5.5L

Recently was offered paid upgrade to Diners Club Privilege which I didn't take. The least I'm looking at is Diners Club Black LTF upgrade or I won't take any upgrade at all.

I have got a HDFC Corporate Premium CC from a company. Am a bit skeptical about using it even though the company says you can. Should I go with my own cc? And will I get any perks from hdfc if I apply for personal cc based on this card?

2018 - HDFC Regalia First LTF

2021 -  HDFC Regalia LTF

2023 Aug - Being offered HDFC Regalia GOLD Paid. Should I take it? Limit is 4.5L.

Also, I am waiting for 5L annual spend so that I can get anniversary spend points. Because if I take the upgrade I will not get anniversary spend benefit.

I also received 3 times paid upgrade like millennia, Indigo card. I never accept paid upgrade as I have LTF regalia first. If you are not spending frequently and analysis yourself which one better paid or LTF. I like LTF free card, no tension on annual charges.
