Corporate salary account vs normal savings account to fetch a mid-premium range CC

[CCsearcher]

Hello All,

My company has a tie-up with Standard Chartered and they are offering Priority/Premium banking with LTF Visa Infinite Card for Priority & Super Value Titanium CC for Premium.

I have done some research on Standard Chartered CCs & DCs but they don't seem to be great.

I am basically looking for a mid-premium range CC to get 3-5% return, I do know that Axis Atlas & HDFC Infinia gives a return in the range of (13-16%). However, I wish to add Axis Atlas and Regalia Gold. I have opened a SavingsMax account with HDFC recently.

I was wondering if I open a salary account with Axis, will they give it for LTF? But my company doesn't have corporate tie-up with Axis or HDFC and I am not willing to park several lacs in a savings account.

Nett monthly salary- 2.5lacs

Yearly spend goes till 6-7lacs when include travel.

Currently holding CCs - Citibank rewards, AmazonPay ICICI, Flipkart Axis.

Currently I hold an account with HSBC which seems to be pretty screwed up, they run a 5% cashback offer but they deny to give the cashback because mine is not a "corporate" salary account. This is why I am looking to move to a different bank for a salary account too.

Thanks in advance.

Did you contact branch and apply 'Regalia Gold'? any issues observed?
Did you apply Atlas through pre-approved offers because you have axis card? any issues?

----

based on post title requirement i.e., mid-range premium cc, you don't even need bank account with them.

You can move salary account to different bank but that requirement is different, there you need better ROI, good offers, easy contacts etc. at last you can get credit card. but above mentioned credit cards easily can obtain with that income and CIBIL score.

Checking if any issues you faced with those cards? I don't think atlas have much restriction unless your FK card is 10k limit card.

I plan to do it this week(i.e. tomorrow). I will visit both HDFC & Axis bank branch and then post the outcome here. The FK card has 1.5lacs limit, lowest of the three.
I did receive similar suggestions from others in this thread for the salary account. IndusInd is in my radar.

I should be able to put an update after tomorrow hopefully

I only have a FK CC with Axis. I guess the netbanking requires one to have a savings account with them.

Which axis card u want

 

[CCsearcher]

Which axis card u want

I am going to stick to the suggestion from you and others in the thread.

Axis Atlas is what I want but preferably LTF. So I am going to check at the branch, what combination are they ready to give, Burgundy salary + M4B + Atlas LTF. Or by any chance Atlas LTF without any salary account with them.

Amex Platinum Travel is what I will go for immediately, by any chance anyone here providing a referral link?

Once the above settles, I will either choose SBI cashback or Millenia.

Atlas ltf not everyone even know they can get via burgundy as ltf ..
Usual is they give everyone select ltf .

For atlas paid u can take anytime calling customer care as surrogate card without cibil hit .

But since your aim is burgundy & m4b ...
Try for burgundy m4b ltf then for atlas ltf

I would suggest to get dcb. You will pay fee ~12k. But you can easily recover it if you plan your spend properly and plan to redeem for hotel/air travel. But it has a lot of exclusions even fuel.

Atlas is good card even after devaluation. (Unless they block your rps randomly). Regalia gold makes sense at 7.5L spend. If your spend on reg gold will be <6L & you cant reach 3 out of 4 quarterly milestone, it won't make much sense. The base reward is low. Real cb cards like sbi Cb or millenia will suit better there.
One positive thing is smart buy and free cab coupon if you book flight using regalia gold. Also you'll easily reach fee waiver milestone.

Many banks aren't opening salary account without corporate tie ups. So 1st you need to check will they do it or not. For burgundy also you need to clarify cuz normal criteria is 3L net and axis is very particular about it.

Chances of burgundy +m4b+Atlas ltf is extremely low. If you get burgundy, you can ask for Atlas ltf. But get it in writing that you'll get burgundy account and Atlas ltf issued within 20-25days. Unlike hdfc , axis processes are streamlined so that is enough time.

Atlas and Regalia Gold together makes no sense for your spends. In that case you won't reach milestone in either one.

Man axis and their constant pain.
Even hdfc being douch* in l.e
Even to genuine and deserving PPL

I guess Op is applying for amex plat travel .
Be it axis atlas - gives 10% on travel booking
Amex best bet is you reddem best value Marriott hotel
Hdfc is confused soul without mile stone

Yes cab is added advantage I came to know recently too .

Atlas was good paid but they reduced the JB to half
.idk what they thinking seriously

Even after devaluation if you keep gold tier it's good. And still better than regalia gold. With op's spend he doesn't have to worry about group wise redemption limit.

For LE I don't agree. A lot of people have more cl than they deserve. Cl more than 2, 2.5x net monthly salary is risky. Icici/kotak are in some Josh to provide that kind of cl. Extremely few people have cl<2x salary after they share itr docs.
Plus considering how much young people love to buy in emi & hate savings, even couple of month of unemployment will lead to bad debt.
Gen z have completely adopted western lifestyle: buying everything on emi, woke politics, consumption/usage patterns like Starbuck, wework, iphone, Zaara etc.

To be honest it's not a genz problem but Indian problem. They are ready adopt all bad things but not good things.

I only have a FK CC with Axis. I guess the netbanking requires one to have a savings account with them.

not needed. In fact, except Federal none of the banks require savings account to login netbanking. If you have customer ID try login netbanking, or mobile app also will work. If you don't have there is SMS format or welcome letter provide the same to you.

Cards are only issued on shared limit.

If you have luck you will get LE.

One option to get higher limit is to apply card on c2c basis using your highest limit card via branch
