Got call from HDFC, they are offering a Diners Black Card but saying that it will come with 5k annual charges (which won’t be waived off even if you use the card for 12L in a year).
Is it worth? Should I opt for it?
Please help me to decide.

Can you please explain regarding its capacity to earn 33% as cashback?
Congratulations by the way
Yes that 5k annual charges without any waiver is still worth, provided if we know how to mint out of this card. And yes, as expected, the spends need to be on the higher side to reap its benefits
go for it without wasting even 1 sec
They are not giving any LTF options? normally hdfc gives LTF option if you register any bill in smartpay.
And the card is worth it even if you spend just rs 30000 per annum
Dude, rewards points are 33.3% if you are smart enough. Moreover they credit 5000 rewards points for yearly renewal, 1RP=1RS
Rs6000 annual fee is nothing vis a vis its features.
3.33% CB and Unlimited lounge visits are unbelievable
Smartbuy is kind of loot every month.
downside: With this card you tend to spend more; friends and relatives pester you(so don’t tell them anything – all they understand is 33.3% discount on FK/Amz)
How to earn 33.3% or use this card smartly?
Min requirements for this card?
1.75 lakh/month salary or 21Lacs ITR

If 5k fees is charged then you’ll get 5k points so net annual fees is 900 only. It can also be waived acc. to link on spending 5lac in year.
Either way this card is worth the fees. Though all points can be redeemed for hotel and air tickets to get full Re.1 per point value.
@cm4444 only you know best
your lifestyle, needs and spending habits.
If you often fly around and have big spends on appliances etc (or help out family, friends) then the benefits far outweigh the 5000 fee (which anyway gets offset by the rewards).
if you are interested in maintaining a long term relationship with the card issuer/bank
then it might also help you get other premier services or PCG
Go for it
Every week there is mail from HDFC for this card along with 1500 Amazon voucher .
My all cc are lifetime free that is why I never get inclined toward this but now I am considering to go for it.
How do I know if HDFC going to charge 5000 annual fee for this…
You might get fyf, only Imperia customers get ltf.
thanks all for replying
pls list best utilization of this card..
This is the best card if u know how to mint points using this card. I hold this card from 3 years
Have you got DCB, finally?
@cm4444 Any update/exp?
they sent me club miles and not black.
Experience is good. Point system is very good. Also got 2k gv twice for spends offer.
koyla ghis do
anyhow hdfc has rubbed on wrong side by first raising annual fees and then devaluing redemption options (70% usage)
the best card of HDFC is payzapp; It’s free /5%on bills/10% recahrge/5%on smartbuy
There are many people who are dying to get this card.
It is worth only if you learn how to get the most of this card. Remember this is the only card which has the capability to earn 33.3% back as rewards from your spends if you plan them wisely
