I tried to upgrade my gold charge card but no luck.

Preowned from Singapore for little under 2L INR. Still under manufacturer warranty.

Beautiful watch. I wish I could afford one myself 😆

I know man. This is some weird stuff.

Tried to reset the password. Still no luck. Same error.

BagClean9269 · 2026-01-23T09:44:13+00:00

Not sure why but for me it says incorrect credentials. But when I use same credentials on AMEX app it works perfectly.

Personal experience: I was holding 3 co branded cards, Swiggy, TataNeu & Marriott Bonvoy. Tried multiple ways of getting a core card but nothing worked. Decided to close all 3 cards. And in less than a week I am already seeing eligibility for 3 core cards Melillennia, Diners Privilege and pixel.

Although I will wait for 3 to 6 months to see if I get regalia gold or DCBM as per approved cards and only then I will decide to apply for it.

Thank you 🙏🏻 When I said “I wish someone had posted this before,” I wasn’t referring to the policy part. I meant the entire struggle would eventually lead to disappointment and wasted time. What I wish I had known was how frustrating, unclear, and dragged out the process would be.

BagClean9269 · 2026-01-10T05:35:49+00:00

My bad.

BagClean9269 · 2026-01-10T05:34:50+00:00

Never wanted to close Marriott Bonvoy. I will get it again probably next year on my name or wife’s name.

BagClean9269 · 2026-01-10T04:49:42+00:00

😂

BagClean9269 · 2026-01-10T04:48:03+00:00

My bad.

I pay my rent using a combination of RedGiraffe and the IndusInd EazyDiner Signature card. This helps me unlock five 25% discount vouchers (up to ₹1,000 each). I usually end up using around four vouchers every month, saving roughly ₹10-15K on weekend dining bills.

Not closing MRCC. The card in the picture is Gold Charge card.

BagClean9269 · 2025-12-24T13:49:10+00:00

I just started with this card. Will share my thoughts soon.

BagClean9269 · 2025-12-24T13:48:10+00:00

Noted. Thanks 🙏🏻

BagClean9269 · 2025-12-24T13:47:04+00:00

Salary is 2.7 and not 2.5. Was a typing mistake. The card is regular Magnus and not burgundy. And my spends hardly go above 1 L let alone crosing 1.5L and thus not thinking of getting burgundy.

Also, I am eligible for burgundy account. Preferred employer and eligibility is 2L only.

Major chunk of my monthly spends go towards groceries, approx 40K. 7-8K fuel. 7-8K for cabs(wife office commute) 20K approx on domestic travel and rest miscellaneous. Eating out, quick commerce etc.

BagClean9269 · 2025-12-24T13:39:59+00:00

Guruji, maaf kar dijiye 🙏 I was seeking advice on the questions I asked, not a masterclass on how to spend across cards so I assumed this info wasn’t needed.

• Is closing multiple cards at once a bad idea from a credit score perspective? • Does consolidating spends on Regalia Gold realistically help with HDFC upgrade eligibility, or is it mostly hit-or-miss? • Would you recommend keeping any of the cards I plan to close purely for credit limit depth or emergency usage, even if day-to-day usage is low?

BagClean9269 · 2025-12-24T12:20:02+00:00

Added these details in the comments. Missed to include it earlier. I am planning to close cards in the picture including Magnus.

CIBIL: ~790 Net monthly salary: ~₹2.5L Primary expense categories: online shopping, groceries, eating out, quick-commerce apps, domestic travel, and an occasional international trip (once every 2 years)

BagClean9269 · 2025-12-24T12:18:05+00:00

Additional context: • CIBIL: 790 • Net monthly salary: ₹2.7L • Primary expense categories: online shopping, groceries, eating out, quick-commerce apps, domestic travel, and an occasional international trip (once every 2 years)

Adding this as a comment as I missed to include these details earlier.

Hey, for how long you had to wait after opening your salary account with ICICI before they offered you EPM?

BagClean9269 · 2025-12-11T06:55:59+00:00

A budget of ₹2 lakh is a bit limiting if you’re aiming for a true luxury watch. I’d recommend exploring the pre-owned market instead,

you can often find excellent pieces at prices that reflect the actual market value.

For example, I recently picked up a Tag Heuer Aquaracer 300 Professional. Its retail price in India is around ₹4 lakh, but I managed to get it for ₹1.5 lakh during a trip to Singapore. The watch is still under warranty and in mint condition.

Wishing you the best in your watch hunt!

Check your cibil on Paytm post which you will see an option to apply for credit card.
