My IDFC Wealth cc journey from 5 cibil enquiries to approval

My biggest wish is to get a ltf premium cc and going with the hype I selected IDFC wealth CC{1 year back}

9 months back I applied Online,
First i entered sal 3L & existing cc 6L icici and gave nearest serviceable pincode, I got select cc only - 1st cibil enquiry done
Then came back & I changed sal to 4L, still select cc came. - 2nd enquiry done
Then i understood idfc algorithm that it doesn't due to income and its due to pincode. Finally i gave metro city pincode of my frd, then i got select cc without docs, wealth cc with docs. - 3rd enquiry done

I thought with docs in the sense i can give any good bank statement and c2c statement and proceeded with wealth with docs. Submitted application, did vkyc. I told wfh during office verification, my frd managed home verification. Then one fine day, idfc auditor called and said we need ur salary slips and statement showing 3L above credits. He instantly rejected my application.

Then i gave up online application and wanted to go through preapproved route.
Opened idfc salary account online and kept good funds. Still no luck for 3 months.

Then in this TF forum, one guy shared rm details who can upgrade to wealth account and apply wealth cc. He cheated me by upgrading to select account instead of wealth account. And for wealth cc, he applied using my 2nd no., even though i said don't do it, still he proceeded by saying its different. He entered my aadhar pincode which is not serviceable and got wow cc option. Such a dumb guy. 4th enquiry done.

Then I contacted local RM and BM and pressurised them by saying I'm maintaining good funds, I want wealth cc or I would close account. He talked to credit card supervisor and he's sure of getting it too. To my bad luck, when he searched using my pan card, all these 4 applications pulled up, so he said we can't do right now u need to wait for 6 months.

Then fed up and removed all balance in IDFC and ignored idfc for 5 months.

On Jan 22 2024,I finally wanted to try my luck as recently i got LE in icici from 6L to 12L. So I'm confident of getting wealth without docs.

I filled application, put salary 3.5L & existing cc icici 12L,gave my frd home and office addresses as they are metro pincodes. 5th enquiry done.
To my surprise, I got directly wealth without docs with limit 8.97L (quite odd).
Selected rupay cc at end of the application because of combined statement feature. After 4 days, home verification done as my frd attended on my behalf. Luckily no office verification.
Yesterday i.e on 1st feb my wealth cc along with rupay cc approved with same 8.97L.

Sorry for the long story 😉. Its quite a journey 😁

So I got Wealth 2 days back(digital, still awaiting physical card). This was my 4th attempt, got Select in last 3 tries.
Filled as below:
Salary - 3L
Bank - HDFC
Card - DCB(wrote this in textbox)
Limit - 5L

Got Wealth limit of 10L.
2nd fastest card generation for me(5 mins after kyc) with no income proof.

For me to my surprise no income docs had been asked. Got IDFC wealth credit card in the first attempt itself 4 months back by C2C as I am having HDFC Diners back credit card. My gross income is not even 1 lakh per month
Am curious. With less than 1L pm salary how did you get DCB?

Salary is not 3l,this is one of the hacks I got to know from here ;)
You should easily get Wealth with Magnus and adding salary as 3l(most of the times they show 2 options, less limit with no income proof or higher with income proof)

Have heard pincode is imp as well so helps if communication address is in Tier 1.

Upgrading is tough which is why I didn't opt for Select and kept canceling to reapply.

Can you please tell how did you get diners black card. Do you have any preferred/imperia account or salary account with hdfc? How long is your relationship with HDFC? You were offered millenia/regalia then upgraded to dcb? Or directly got diners black card?

I have a salary account with HDFC bank since November 2011 & using hdfc credit card from February 2012. So started with a basic credit card in 2012 and now am at DCB ltf card.

I have earlier used Regalia but not Millenia credit card. From Regalia to DCB. They have offered me DCB Metal first year free.

But am not interested, am still ok DCB Plastic as this card is a LTF for me till January 2031
