But still on regalia Bhai 8L hai toh jaldi se try krlo. Hit & miss chl rha hai. Edit: Difficult though, few people got approved at 8L limit but they had 6L spends over last 6 months and another bank's card statement with CL of 9L.

LordSpymaster Posted July 19, 2022 Report Share Posted July 19, 2022 I barely have spends on my Diner's, not sure if they'll give me the upgrade. Limit is around 4L, and total spend YTD is around 1.5L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limit is around 4L, and total spend YTD is around 1.5L If your monthly net is >= 1.75L, you will get it straight away. My CTC has a substantial part in guaranteed bonuses (no variable or ad-hoc, guaranteed). But they weren't convinced that it was fixed and wanted physical approval but HR is also wfh. Only last week my limit on Regalia was auto upgraded to 6L and I applied to DCB again, this time they didn't even ask for slips because I fulfilled the CL criteria which for DCB is 5L (I think). If you don't fulfill this then you need to cross the monthly salary. Similarly for Infinia, CL criteria is 10L which gets you Infinia straight away. Else 8L can also work if you have 6-7.5L spends in last 6 months plus they might ask you for another bank's card statement with CL of atleast 9-10L. If you don't have that, depending on your luck and associate you are dealing with, 2.85-3.5L net monthly salary is needed.

R3D_D3ViL Posted July 19, 2022 Report Share Posted July 19, 2022 Is it ok if you mention your A/c nos and card no in the HDFC grievance mail? Was thinking about writing a mail for an infinia upgrade for quite sometime now. On 7/1/2022 at 7:55 PM, KunjanPSD said: Amex is gonna start accepting new applications by July-end/Aug-start.

You don't need to write account number, just mention your Customer ID and anyway they can figure out via your registered email ID. You don't need to mention your card number, HDFC hardly offers dual cards, so they will know which card you are talking about. My friends at Amex told me this, there might be some delays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That HDFC IOCL can be replaced with better HDFC cards with better reward rates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is 11L limit. Already they have approved me 12.5L limit which I haven't accepted yet. Yearly spend above 8L. Still they denied me Infinia. I am currently on Diners black since 3 years. Only thing I am short on is ITR limit by a few lacs. On the contrary they have given Infinia to much lower spends than mine. HDFC has weird approval standards.

R1shabh Posted July 20, 2022 Report Share Posted July 20, 2022 What is this obsession with credit limit? Do you even hit that upper cap ever? I have Infinia & Icici/Amazon but I hardly ever spend more than 50K a month combined. Most of small ticket items are paid via UPI than hassling cards.

Higher CL can possibly make your current card LTF. Higher CL can possibly offer you retention benefits. And lower your CL utilisation is, the better it is for your credit score.

Some of us here are mostly interested in maximising CC use for points and benefits. Plus it is recommended to keep usage around 30% of limit, so higher limits are preferred.

I upgraded the same way to Diners from Regalia but now they denied Infinia. I have never defaulted payment. Completed my superbike loan with HDFC twice lol still they denied me. While they are approving Infinia to 6L limit holders as well. Appropriately their criteria is "mood based" I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mention your current limit and last 6Ms spends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
