Millennia Convert Your HDFC Millennia Credit Card to Rupay Network by just a phone call

2025

TF Legend
Hi Friends,

Inspired by @prateekm03 and his post here https://www.technofino.in/community/profile-posts/10003/ today, I have called HDFC customer care (📞 1800 1600) and successfully raised a request for conversion of my Mastercard Millennia Credit Card to Rupay Millennia Credit Card. No questions will be asked. Take max. 5 minutes.

This is what I was informed by the phone banking executive.
1. All features and benefits will remain same.
2. LTF cards will remain LTF.
3. Request will be processed in maximum 10 days.
4. Rewards points/ cashback (accrued and upcoming) will be transferred to the new card.
5. Running balance Statement will also be transferred.
6. Card will be delivered to my address and the old card will be deactivated.

Things that I did not asked, but expecting...
1. It will work on UPI and give benefits of 5% at preferred merchants and 1% in other eligible cases. Will update later.

Why I did this?
1. India first. Reducing the fund outflow from India, particularly to arrogant US.
2. Rupay hai toh jindegi hai.
3. Easy to use UPI cards using scan and pay features. Plus 1% upto 1000 cashback monthly.
4. My TNI card only giving 0.5% outside the TNI app. So a better choice.
5. Automatically extended the validity of the card.
6. Some secret hacks. Won't disclose even in DM.
7. I have never got any limit upgrade from HDFC so hoping this change will bring something new for me.
8. Additionally, this card has milestone benefits 1k for quarterly 1L spends. So, yes 2.0% UPI achievable.

Updates:
1. Received the confirmation about raising the request immediately.
2. Card generated on next working day (11-Aug-2025) evening around 7:30 pm.
Balance transferred.
3. Add on applied on 12-Aug, generated same day.
4. Primary card received on 14-Aug. Added to upi app.

But in normal buy through CC option. I can't use these offers. View attachment 107297
That's the whole point.

When you buy via CC, the merchant (amazon here) has to pay some MDR like 1.5 to 2%. In bank UPI, merchant doesn't need to pay this MDR and is passing this as a benefit to the customer.

Similar situation in some shops where they charge 2% extra when CC is used but nothing charged when bank upi is used.

Itna kya explain kar rahe ho.

People will misuse CC UPI to buy lakhs of rupees Amazon gift vouchers, that’s why Amazon has kept it blocked.

With direct credit card enter, Amazon can put restrictions based on the card BIN but with CC UPI how will they put restrictions? Or maybe they can, but the Amazon team/developers would have to sit and do some major coding work for it. 🤣🤣

This is another aspect. But the MDR thing still holds good .

Misuse ki to tum baat hi nahi karo. Tumhe shobha nahi deta hai.

RuPay CC on UPI ko har merchant avoid karna chahta hai due to high MDR and usme sayad unhe kuch discount bhi nahi milta hai. VISA/Mastercard/RuPay cards me MDR bargain ho sakta hai tabhi banks cards pe low convenience fee rakhte hai. phonepe, snapay and many merchant iska example hai. Lowest MDR dene me VISA sabse best hai Mobikwik aaj tak VISA card me koi extra charge nahi kiya, Paytm bhi ban se pehle VISA card se free me transaction karne deta tha. similarly Snapay sirf VISA cards se 1.18% txn karne deta hai. RuPay ko VISA ki tarah MDR me discount Dena chahiye nahi to merchants avoid karte rahenge.

Even kuch local shops RuPay CC UPI band karke sirf card se payment accept karte hai.

Highest MDR RuPay prepaid card pe hai jise koi bhi merchant accept nahi karna chahta.

RuPay CC on UPI and RuPay prepaid cards ko MDR hi le doobega.
