Guys I am going to apply for Credit Cards
Checked eligibility at bankbazar
Shortlisted some, need your suggestions for finalization
I will apply one by one HDFC CITI and SBI

1. HDFC Dinners (will apply as many dimmers suggested)
2. CITI Cashback and CITY Rewards which one to select?
3. SBI simply click and simply save which one to select ?

My Latest Credit Score(checked at BB): 834 (two closed loans: 1 Educational loan and 1 consumer loan)
Update 1: Applied for 3 cards: HDFC, SBI, CITI through the Zingoy>bankbazaar>CC route
Update 2: SBI just got approved, others document verification is over but confirmation pending
Update 3: HDFC got approved, CITI pending https://cdn2.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_wink.gif
Update 4: CITI also got approved, was some problem with address, took some time to solve.

1) HDFC Diners – go for it blindly.
2) Citi – I have Rewards and prefer it over CB
3) SBI – Simply Click is better — I hv jst applied for it through BB

In Citi, I would suggest to go for Indian Oil card, The sole reason for this is, their reward points can be redeemed for fuel at 1 RP=1 Rupee, where as it is 0.30 for other mode of redemptions and i think this stands true for Rewards as well.

SBI Simply Click all the way, especially for all those purchases you may do online.

@no fpd In the order of chances for approval, apply for SBI SimplyClick, Citi Rewards or Cashback (depending on your usage), and HDFC Diners.

You didn’t mention whether you already have a card or not. I am assuming you don’t and this would be your first time applying for CCs.

Actually I took a loan from Bajaj Finance therefore my CIBIL score is already generated , around 870 (I guess). One of my friend having same salary got rejected from SBI but he got HDFC thatswhy I am considering HDFC first.

@DealSeeker
my score is 797. though I am always paying my CC bills on time.. why my score is not 900 ?
it is like nobody will get 900 score?
or what is max score a person can get ?

Perfectionist Perfectionist

You will see the top scores mainly for people who have a very wide variety of credit products (credit cards, multiple home loans — helps to have one completely paid off already, car loans, etc.) and also a high “credit age”.

I personally know a few very “wealthy” people in their 40s and even their scores are only around 850.

All banks should provide. once I asked SBI, they offered me for a CC on FD. but didn’t availed though. It was about 90% of the FD amount or something like that.

Minimum -Maximum : Based on your salary (If you are salaried), Credit History and Credit Utilization Ratio.

If its your first Credit Card, then it will be based on your salary only.

Usually, the credit limit is upto 3 times of your take home salary. But it differs according to diff. banks.

am using HDFC moneyback CC now. At the time of application they told its the best card in free cateegry. I was not aware of diners then( i thought it was related to food like sodexo).
And dont take times card. rewards r very less.
In money back i get abt 1.2% CB for online and 0.4% for offline. https://cdn2.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_toungueout.gif

Even now i get calls from hdfc asking abt CC. Then i ask them to cancel moneyback card and issue me diners, then they simply cut the call https://cdn3.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_lol.gif https://cdn2.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_evil.gif https://cdn3.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_lol.gif https://cdn3.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_lol.gif

They are not that comfortable to give diners club to ppl as lifetime free card. If u r ready to pay annual fees and if its in slaary limit then u can give it a try. not sure abt regalia but u keep asking abt diners.

@DealSeeker I think all diners offers will be ending this month right, do u still advice to take it as we dont know if they’ll renew the offers or not?

And recently in more and big bazaar i saw many sbi agents requesting(alomost forcing) to take SBI CC. but i was very apprehensive abt it. :/
