The reconsideration request you sent via mail ,you write the same content on a paper and signed it duly and send it to Mail as well as through post to hdfc bank.
But i think they will entertain on your written request via mail also.

Hi guys
The Diners club black LTF via alumni is really LTF, correct?
There's no spending based criteria like spend XX lacs in this financial year to waive off the renewal fees for next year?
I mean there's 0 renewal and annual charges on alumni based LTF Diners club black, correct?

Yes, there is no such criteria. It's unconditional life time free. Not spend based

Here I will share a bad experience with HDFC.
I was holding Moneyback Card and I contacted one HDFC executive for card upgradation to Diners Club Card.
My limit was less than 3L so I am not eligible for DCB considering my salary and Credit limit also.
I was eligible for DCP salary wise but I denied DCP due to recent devaluation and asked Diners Millennia LTF.
Today, Card got delivered and it is found to be VISA Signature that too FYF.
I called the executive and she told now it is issued as FYF and now can not be reissued in Diners Millennia.
She told me to wait for at least 6 months and then again request for LTF Dinners Millennia submitting Degree Certificate.
I don't know this Alumni offer will be there or not after 6 months.

The same I requested to that lady but she told as per their policy they can not reissue or change the variant of card within 6 months of new card issuance.
I will try again sending mail on Grievance.Redressalcc@hdfcbank.com.

Sab kuch possible hai bro bas bamboo me Dam hona chahiye. Threaten them to escalate to rbi ombudsman. They don't agree before atleast 3-4 mails. Keep on trying

DO LAW UNIVERSITY COUNTS?

 

[Pujaari]

Flat limit criteria without income proof
If you don't want to share income proof and your degree is more than 3 year old then you'll get DCP. If its 8 year old then you'll get DCB with flat limit of 5 lakhs

Declined my Request for an upgrade of my existing ltf regalia(limit 1.4 hardly use it). Met all other criteria as in Alumini(over 8 year)/account holder..any idea on how to proceed now? Thanks

Any thing else to addon if there is further exchange of mails?thanks

they can change it.

I recently took Millenia LTF.. they sent Visa while I asked for Diners.
They were ready to send me Diners Millenia within a week of receiving the card.
Tell them it's only a franchise change.
