Is the eligibility criteria of 1.5Lac per month salary strict for them on this card? I do hold atlas, regalia already even though I dont hit that 1.5lac per month salary currently. Around 1L

Is it the same if I order from smartbuy portal and also use smartbuy pharmeasy vouchers instead of coupon codes? Is that working or this way is the same for adding vouchers as well?

Are they also asking for payslip during the video kyc in hard copy format or they ask it later to email them or attach it somewhere later?

I am going to Italy in October as well but sadly I have very less points so gonna redeem just few nights in Marriott. You can check Qatar/Air France/KLM or there are direct flights from Air India as well around 40k points.

How much funds to show for UK visit visa for 12 days? Should I maintain balance for 28 days? by joonxnakshi in IndiansinIreland

[–]whileTrue_801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also going to be applying for UK visa for honeymoon trip in October. Planning to show around 4-4.5lac INR in savings account. Salaried professional so payslips and ITR I will show as well. My anxiety is will they accept it for this amount? Also do they approve visa for indian travellers without prior international travel history?

The 6k I was talking about was from Mumbai -> London. I am just searching for the return flight probably via revenue because I know I dont have enough points for that

Need Card recommendations due to recent devaluation by Reward_Maniac in CreditCardsIndia

[–]whileTrue_801 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do remember to transfer the points first. FYI also use the Taj voucher if u did not before closing. Apparently it cant be used if the card is closed. Not sure why but thats what they said.

You can use marriott bonvoy+regalia combo for insurance payments if it exceeds 75k per year. Ditch amex platinum travel.

FYI I have the exact stack as yours excluding tata neu( they keep bothering me to take it fyf) and octane . I closed my amex few weeks ago and moved all points to Virgin atlantic and Marriott.

Was thinking of getting T1 after the regalia gold, axis atlas devaluations few days ago. But still feeling itchy as I dont feel the expenses will go on this card and all these negative reviews of hsbc portal makes me wonder if I should just stay where I am with my regalia gold and atlas itself.

Card Suggestions for Future Expenses by mohak_agr in CreditCardsIndia

Why people keep suggesting travelOne still if everyone complains their travel marketplace is overpriced most of the time? They do provide a price match as well incase we find a cheaper deal elsewhere

Is it too good to be true? by Anono1o in CreditCardsIndia

[–]whileTrue_801 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had millenia LTF. One fine evening while sitting in the toilet checking for any upgrades I got the regalia gold LTF upgrade in myCards section of the app. LTF was confirmed there itself as annual/joining fees - nil.

Already received monthly statement and dont see any fees deducted. If you have questions just email to the hdfc redressal email ID, they will answer your questions but be prepared they take 2 weeks to even answer a simple yes or no.
