Am I the HDFC God's favorite child? 🛐 Just got an organic Limit Enhancement on a SECURED Millennia card!

​I think I just witnessed a miracle.

​About 1.5 years ago, I opened a ₹1.5L FD with HDFC to get a secured Millennia credit card. Naturally, they gave me the standard 90% limit, which came out to ₹135k.

​As far as I knew, the absolute rule with HDFC secured cards is that your limit is locked forever unless you add more money to the FD or close the card entirely.

​But today, my phone blew up with an email, SMS, and WhatsApp message from HDFC offering me a Credit Limit Enhancement to ₹162k.

​No extra FD requested, no income proof asked for. Just a straight-up offer out of nowhere.

​Has anyone else ever had HDFC upgrade a secured card like this, or did a system glitch just work in my favor?

Need advice for second cc

I have a biz black card which i used for all my spends but it doesn’t make sense for spends apart from gst and income tax as the transfer options are quite limited and no other sensible use of points is available.
So looking to get a card for all other spends apart from taxes .
Please advise

IDFC FIRST Power+ Credit Card Rejected Due to “Office Address Verification” Even After Field Visit & RNO Escalation

Applied for IDFC FIRST Power+ credit card on May 9. During application a ₹25k limit was shown and VKYC was completed successfully.

On May 11, a field executive called and asked where is my office address. I told him I am self employed and use my residential address as office address because I don’t have a physical office.

He came to my home address, didn’t ask anything, just clicked a photo of my house casually and left. I even asked him “is everything fine?” and he said yes.

Next day my application went into credit review and got stuck there with no response.

On May 15, I emailed customer care regarding the delay. Few hours later I received this SMS:

•••“Dear Customer your credit card application no. 0000000000 could not be verified. We will be holding your application for 3 more days. Please provide your complete office address with landmark…”•••

I filled the same residential address again with landmark because I am self employed and don’t have a separate office.

Later that evening I got a call from IDFC customer care. The executive said the delay was because they were unable to validate the office address. He asked whether I received the SMS to update the office address and I told him yes, I already updated it in the morning.

Then he said okay, there will be a surprise visit at the office address and he will update it from his side. I said okay fine and the call ended.

But literally 5 minutes after the call ended, I got a rejection mail saying:

•••“After careful consideration, we regret to inform you that your Credit Card Application could not be processed as the office address provided in the application could not be validated.”•••

I escalated the issue to RNO and customer care.

Then customer care replied saying the application was rejected because verification agents were unable to locate the provided office address during two separate attempts on May 9, 2026, and May 15, 2026.

But the strange thing is I never got any call or verification on May 9 or May 15. The only field agent who actually visited me came on May 11.

Also received a reply from Team RNO. They acknowledged the concern, confirmed the case was noted, and forwarded the request to the relevant team for further review.

Has anyone else faced this kind of issue with IDFC verification?

And do you think there is any chance of getting a positive response after escalation to RNO/GNO/PNO? Has anyone received approval after escalation?

Help me choose my next CC!

Hi guys,

I own one Axis Atlas & a SBI Aurum card.

  1. SBI Aurum - LTF - Primarily using for free movie tix, discounts, etc because of it's no reward rate
  2. Atlas - 5k p.a - Using for everything else but I've already maxed out my tiers (15L spent in 7 months) and after the devaluation, im not so sure if it makes sense to keep spending on this. The 15L must have travel spends of around ~2L and the rest have general spends and that still has given me almost ~47k edge miles.

I am considering getting either HSBC Travel One or HDFC Swiggy Black, not sure which one should I go for, I don't want a lot of cards so one card that I can use everywhere is what I am aiming for.

Please share your suggestions on which would work the best - if there's any other card also which you feel I should consider, I am open to suggestions. Thanks for your time.

Got my TATA Neu Infinity Converted to LTF

Hi Community, as the title goes: I got my TNI converted to LTF CC two days back. Wanted to share the exact mail I wrote so that it helps someone who might be eligible but hasn't tried it already.

Applied for LTF conversion on 12th and got the Response + Approval on 14th. A verification call from the Bank is done to confirm the conversion.

Background: I have used this card extensively this past year and was anyways getting qualified for the Fee waiver due to spends. I still tried to get it converted to see if I was eligible, and if the HDFC overlords showed some mercy ;-)

email this to customerservices.cards@hdfcbank.com

Subject: Request for Lifetime Free (LTF) Conversion - Tata Neu Infinity Credit Card - <YOUR NAME>

Straight to the content of the mail:

Dear HDFC Card Services Team,
I am writing to you as a loyal customer of HDFC Bank, currently holding the Tata Neu Infinity Credit Card (ending in 1234).

I have been using this card extensively for my primary expenses, consistently maintaining a high monthly spend and ensuring all payments are made in full and on time. Given my significant usage and long-standing relationship with the bank, I would like to request that my card be converted to a Lifetime Free (LTF) basis.

Over the past year, I have maintained a flawless repayment record, consistently settling my balances in full. As I approach my card anniversary, I would like to move forward with this card on a Lifetime Free basis to reflect our mutually beneficial relationship. While I find the benefits of the Tata Neu ecosystem valuable, the current annual fee is a point of consideration for me when comparing other premium offerings in the market. I would prefer to continue my journey with HDFC Bank without the burden of an annual renewal fee.

I am already qualifying for the waiver due to Rs 3L+ usage on the Credit card. I would appreciate it if you could review my account and spend history to consider this conversion as a gesture of goodwill. Looking forward to a positive response.

Best regards,

NAME
Customer ID - &lt;CUSTOMER ID&gt;

Hope this helps.
