Kotak 811 Infinity Metal Debit Card – Unboxing & First Impressions

I'm an existing Kotak 811 Zero Balance customer since last 5 years.
I just saw this thread and am willing to get hands on the Metal DC.

What am I supposed to do? Steps?
How to upgrade to super 811 account?
How to apply for the debit card?
Will the debit card be LTF ? or chargeable?

@6ix9ine
You can upgrade to Super thru the 811 App itself with a new revised fee of ₹399/- (inclusive of all taxes) but as of now the Metal DC is available to NTB Customers only so you can't apply it now, probably you need to wait a bit longer. 😔 Thank You.
 
Important Update Guys: Kotak has discountinued 811 Metal Debit card from 1st July 2025. No Branch staff is aware of that. I opened account on 15th July 2025, with inital deposit of 1 Lakh and I didnt get any update on Metal debit card since then. I contacted customer care and they informed Metal Cards has been discountined from 1st July 2025 and they are offering plastic card with same benefits. I have raised issue with them regarding Metal Debit card as it is the soley reason to open 811 account. They are now working on the issue.
the thing is it requires exact amount of funding of 81100 and the qr they share is unique and soesnot accept any other amount

What am I supposed to do? Steps?
Since you already have 811 account, you are not NTB. You have to upgrade to super 811, download kotak811 app and login.

Check if there is any banner of "upgrade" to super 811. If there isn't, try contacting customer care. I have tried this customer care way for my 3 friends, it worked for 2, so worth a try.

How to upgrade to super 811 account?
Explained above.

How to apply for the debit card?
Metal one will be chargeable since you are not new. This offer is/was for new users only and yes, if you had opened super 811 account offline then card would've been LTF.

Though, there will be annual subscription charges for super program as long as you continue.

Will the debit card be LTF ? or chargeable?
Explained above.

Ps: If you only care about the rewards, trust me this DC is much better if you have plastic variant. This metal is thick af, some pos machine doesn't accept it.

doesn't fit in atm machines either.

Though looks great while holding it, OP has shared SS of the metal as well.

I use it for everyday offline transactions, there is a mega thread for kotak 811 super, you can check that out too.
 
Hey everyone,


I wanted to share my unboxing experience of the Kotak 811 Visa Infinite Metal Debit Card, especially since I couldn’t find any detailed thread about it on the TechnoFino community. If there's already one floating around, feel free to merge this post with it!


Why I Opted for This Card​

Simple – I got an amazing deal.


The Kotak 811 Super Savings A/C comes with a subscription fee of ₹300. Once subscribed, you're eligible for various debit cards with different fee structures. The basic card is lifetime free, while this premium metal card normally comes at an issuance fee of ₹4,999 + GST and an annual fee of ₹999 + GST.


However, a Kotak 811 representative reached out with a limited-time offer: if I opened a Kotak 811 Super Savings A/C with a minimum deposit of ₹82,000, I’d get the metal card completely free for life. I confirmed the offer in writing, applied immediately, and received the card in 4–5 working days. No charges applied so far!




Unboxing the Card​


The kit was delivered via Blue Dart—so no drama there.

It came in a deep red / wine coloured envelope, which, unfortunately, I couldn’t photograph—my 3-year-old got to it before I did! Inside was a sleek, matte-finish rectangular box that looked premium.

Opening the box revealed a metallic silver casing -

The key features are enlisted as under, for ease of reading -
  1. 4 complimentary domestic lounge accesses per year
  2. 0% forex markup
  3. 5% cashback (up to ₹500/month) on eligible spends (Note: This may be tied to the account, not the card itself. Check this thread: https://www.technofino.in/community/threads/kotak-bank-811-super-savings-account-benefits-important-update-🚨-🚨.31516/ for more info)
  4. ₹750/month discount on Zomato
  5. ₹300/month discount on BookMyShow
  6. 2.5% fuel surcharge waiver
  7. Dedicated customer care support
  8. High transaction limits: ₹4L daily for spends, ₹1.5L daily ATM withdrawal

And, the card itself..


which was a 17 gram metal debit card - easily one of the more elegant and premium-looking cards issued in India. The craftsmanship is top-notch. Here’s how it looks -

Trust me..pictures don't do justice!

One standout feature: it includes your Customer Relationship Number (CRN) on the card itself. A small but super useful addition—it saves the back-and-forth with the app while talking to customer support.


Final Thoughts​

This card has some serious utility, especially as a fuel card. It can fetch you a benefit of up to 7.5% on fuel purchase (5% cashback + 2.5% surcharge waiver), without tying you to any petrol company. Be it IOCL, BPCL, HPCL - the discount is the same. Of course, the other perks—like lounge access and concierge support—just add to the value. Overall, I’m genuinely impressed.


Looking forward to your thoughts!
Hi...Can you please share the contact?
 
The thread is long, so I am going to just ask my question instead of reading. Sorry if the question is repeated.

question 1 -- I already have a Privy League (Platinum) account. Can I open the 811 account too (for a metal debit card)?

question 2 --- What are the requirements for a free metal debit card?
