I couldn't understand why such lust for LTF cards.. it feels and sounds good to have LTF card but by maintaining high NRV with low return like SB a/c balance or other deposit.. it's only beneficial for bank not the customer..

high NRV can come from investments also. In that case, people with older portfolio can easily match that requirement. Also, LTF is useful for people having multiple cards, who dont want to pay for cards they didn't make much use of, due to not reaching the waiver criteria. Imagine falling short of 10K and then u had to pay 10k only for annual fee.

In all, here its mostly about people trying to stretch their eligibility to get higher variants than they are actually eligible for (as per bank classification). For people who are automatically eligible for cards worth 50K annual fee, wont actually have to worry about shedding 50k for such luxury ;-)

True someone with High NRV doesn’t really cares about card fees , they know their usage in card and the benefits will easily overcome the charges .

And for CC collectors like me , I just take any card , I am not a racist
But I do try to get the card as LTF without NRV as I am collecting almost all cards from all banks so can’t be maintaining NRV with all of them right ? Also it doesn’t make sense to pay for annual charges as even though we collect the CC’s the usage is going to be in maximum 2-3 cards , and to be honest I am ok to pay the annual charges for the cards that I am actually going to use.

What kind of investment you are referring to... Say icici says you maintain minimum 2 lakh balance in sb

Getting card LTF without nrv is always wonderful.. and HNI don't care for little loss(2-3 lakh 🤣🤣) due to money kept in low return deposits.. but for salaried class if bank ask to keep even 2 lakh(although this much won't be sufficient) for card like emerald i will say it's a loss... Average return in a good mutual fund will be much higher than the card fee...

Icici considers icici securities investments in TRV , so yeah one can try that way to If he is into stocks

 

[ankit_tf]

What kind of investment you are referring to... Say icici says you maintain minimum 2 lakh balance in sb

as anirban mentioned, all kind of portfolios held with bank (homeloan, stocks, mfs, gold, ppf etc may be even life insurance in some case) count towards NRV.

Getting card LTF without nrv is always wonderful.. and HNI don't care for little loss(2-3 lakh 🤣🤣) due to money kept in low return deposits.. but for salaried class if bank ask to keep even 2 lakh(although this much won't be sufficient) for card like emerald i will say it's a loss... Average return in a good mutual fund will be much higher than the card fee...

I was saying that keeping myself in mind, who is not really an HNI but as per income, banks will categorize me as one. I DO care about interest returns too and don't waste my money keeping in low interest accounts just for sake of it. I only use higher deposits to avail premium banking services and withdraw amount asap or keep only to the minimum limits. (just to brag 🤣🤣 I have wealth account of several banks including SBI that comes with a 30L limit, that too without any maintenance condition 🤣🤣)

Anyway, coming back to cards, LTF, should mean LTF with no conditions. not like Axis which is offering select card as LTF for burgandy customers, but its free only as longs as you hold burgundy status. If keeping 2 lacs for few days gets you a card no-condition LTF, and if the card's worth it. I'd say its not a loss, it's a bargain. Or say LTF with a joining fee.

Just to put u in perspective, 1L for an year might make a loss of about 4% liquid interest (7-8% in savings/FDs vs 3-4% in savings of such banks). That means you'd lose around 350 Rs in a month or for 10L its 3.5K. all you have to decide is, if the card's worth it ;-)

in comparison, that makes me a CC racist. though I DO take most LTF cards, but then close them when I get bored. I got ICICI sapphiro LTF twice, and closed both the time, that was really not worth for me (even emerald doesn't look worth the money/hassle, it just holds a status value, I'd rather pay for infinia) had regalia LTF which also I closed as I had then 2 HDFC cards. I didn't take Amex Gold on LTF offer because I didn't want to keep counting my transaction of 1000+, though I regretted it later once LTF offer was gone, same goes with Citi miles card

Agree about the charges, I am willing to pay if the benefits are worth when used as primary card. That's why I am planning to get magnus or vistara card next haven't decided yet, but soon.

PS: Now I can get into VIP lounge

How did you get Amex MRCC LTF?

It was a limited period offer going on when it was initially lunched.

It's not that difficult. Apps like Cred, Paytm helps me track the due balance and allow me to make payments on time and have missed only once or twice to pay the bill in last 13 years.
