Regarding HDFC credit life time free condition.

Any txn will do except for emi/cash withdrawal etc.

Share the screen shot / link for the same ?

Cash transactions, Cash—on-Call, Balance Transfer, Standing Instruction, Personal Loan on credit card are not
considered as spends. Any transactions which are reversed or cancelled will not be considered
as spends. Also, returned purchases, disputed or unauthorized/fraudulent transactions, card
account fees & charges will not be considered for this offer. Further, Wallet load and EMI
transactions will not be considered as spends

Edit: Its safe to assume that all those transactions that are eligible for reward points can be considered as retail spends

Even if they allowed 10k instead of 2K, I would’ve skipped loading Paytm wallet
Can try loading some unknown/new wallets (still risky*) but I wouldn’t bother considering the popular options like Mobikwik, PayTm

Do you know where to check the amount we have already spent for LTF offer?
I cant keep a track of it due to different nature of the txns done during sale period.

AFAIK 35K has to be spent during first 90 days, I lost the booklet

Paytm wallet load was straightforward while mobikwik which allows up to 5K without charge needs to be sent to merchant account in order transfer in bank account.
Did you get 1500 amazon vouchers post approval of the card?

Bhai. 10k per month for 3 months is a doable task bhai. Rent payment can be done via creditcard. Make a rent arrangement with your parents and use redgiraffe. 🙂🙂🙂 And you can always avail Billpay feature to get your CC conditionally LTF.

No, I have no idea how to track if milestone stone is achieved or not? Best of option is ask CC or tweet hdfc.

There’s no fee for bank transfer w/ PayTm? I remember this being user-specific but there has always been a transfer fee for my account

and regarding HDFC, i haven’t applied for the card now (LTF*)
but as there’s no concrete t&c for the exclusions.. its safe to consider all the exclusions for the spend based offers and make purchases accordingly ( CC won’t help )

Do we recieved any mail or sms for lifetime free on achieving spends, if Yes after how much time?

As per my experience, complete your spend target and wait till the bill gets generated for that month. After that It should take about 10-15 days for card to be ltf.

Ok, but is there any communication that is received from hdfc end to us.

No all HDFC credit card has some annual unless you fulfill the condition to make them LTF. Entry & mid level card can br easily converted to ltf by spending certain amount. However high variant cards are not ltf & banks decides whether to convert it ltf or not in the basis of your spending pattern. If banks getting some profits from your spending they will either make it LTF or waive off card fee for certain periods.
