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?

Thanks for the info, contacted a spoc, he asked to send my address to send me some documents, but nothing after that yet, probably due to weekend.

Applied offline 2 days back via hdfc person for fresh card. He told it will take about 10 days. Have a slip containing App No starting with CC followed by a 8 digit code. Where can I track the status using this? 

When I try using mobile number and date of birth, it doesn’t show up.

When they register your application in their system then you can track. Till then just wait. As it is offline atleast it will take 7 days.

DCB heavily devalued.

Regalia/Millenia makes better case now.

Regalia is also trash now, previously it used to be 5%CB+1xRP (Amazon/Gyftr), but now it’s just 5xRP which is equivalent to 4.65%CB only (considering voucher redemption). Even a basic debit card is better than this sad

After devaluation, HDFC has now started crediting reward points in 2 days

I purchased the 3X inta voucher 2 days back on my DCB and today i got the message that 660 reward points has been credited

So now we don’t have to wait for 90 days to get accelerated points
