Hi Dimers,

I just got upgraded from Diners privilege to DCB black.

Please tell what happens to reward points that i have accumulated in diners privilege card ? Will i be able to retain them once DCB is delivered or will it lapse ?

In that case, what is the best way to redeem those points ? https://cdn0.desidime.com/attachments/photos/732253/medium/IMG-20220105-WA0000.jpg?1641369270

So if you are from these institutes do they remove the earnings criteria of 30 LPA?
Most of the institutes here have 20LPA avg

No even without the criteria you can get if you hold salary account, i got it in 2019 as ltf and it was my first ever job and first ever credit card and that to without the alumni offer as my iit was not in the list at that time

I also had LTF privilege card, I didn’t get the complementary benefits when I was approved and recieved this card .

I think same would apply here too. But i need to check with team.

But I did get renewal benefits applicable for privilege card as part of anniversary milestone benefits that included times prime membership, amazon prime etc.

Upgraded to DCB from existing Regalia card about 1 year ago. Don't know exact reason for upgrade. My observations.....

Better reward points compared to other HDFC cards

They generally say 1 reward point equals to 1 rupee but it is only applicable for flight ticket bookings on HDFC smart buy site only. For all other redemption 1 point is 50 paisa, still better than many cards.

Diners Club card has limited acceptance. Some online and many offline stores won't (can't) accepts Diners cards.

I think having higher credit limit is NOT only the criteria. 

Spending good amount on the card and proper repayments also matters.

Finally received my card today

Not sure if I will be eligible for complementary annual membership benefits like MMT black, amazon prime etc if i spend 1.5 lakh in first 90 days

or this is not applicable in cases where the card is issued on Life time free basis like mine 

Does anyone have a view on this ?
