Re-applied for IDFC First Wealth Credit Card

[cardio_guycardio_guy is verified member.]

Old Story so far:
This was sometime in late 2023 and early 2024.
I had been trying to get IDFC First Wealth through their website directly - but whenever I enter my details, the site was only showing FD based WOW card.
It went on for a year and then I got a call from one RM who told if I apply through him, he could get me Wealth.
I trusted him and processed the application and I got IDFC First Wealth credit card on Sept 2024. (4L limit)

But I didn't use it - Didn't came across any good places or offers where I could use it.
Out of impulsion, I closed it in November 2024 when they did the devaluation.
But afterwards I thought I could have kept it.
So I tried re-applying for it through TimePrime but through that channel, they were asking for docs.
(It depends on the channel - some places they ask for docs, some places they do not ask any income proofs)

So I left the applicaiton in between. IDFC First executives started calling me 4 times a day asking to upload income proof.
I told all of them - that I don't need the card but they still kept on calling.
I got frustrated and finally sent a PNO to delete my application immediately.
Finally the calls stopped.

Then yesterday I just casually went to IDFC FIrst website and just entered my details, and wow, it showed no docs required.

So I immediately completed the application and VKYC.

Reasons for cancelling it earlier: It was not used at all. But after cancelling I had a second thought, I could have kept it.
Reasons for applying it again: (It was there aearlier, but these are some smaller benefits)
1. Free Visa Infinite variant
2. Roadside assistance 4 times a year.
3. Flight ticket cancellation refund for any reason, up to two times a year.
4. District movie app offers.
5. Railway lounge access
6. BMS movie offer and F&B offer for Visa Infinite.
7. Interest free atm withdrawal
8. Low Forex markup 1.5%
9. IDFC First Bank specific offers in some apps.
10. Reward points do not expire.
11. Lounge access criteria is not hard. (20k in previous month)
12. Golf benefits

Like @Jatayu told, Overall a good LTF card to keep, but nothing exciting as such.

They will need office email reply and verifications of home and office.

I also applied for IDFC Wealth Credit Card today itself. It asked for my current residence details and office details (address and email) etc. post that my application was submitted. I didn't get any option of vkyc.

I have this cards from yrs & only use it for Rsa & movie sometimes. Overall good Ltf cc.
So can I suggest some corrections....Rsa is 4 times not 2. Plus mention golf benefits also if anyone needs it. Lastly there's no Bms offer rn except for Private. All shifted to District.

It's in my drawer from last 2 years..

Hey, I already have IDFC First Savings account. as I mentioned above. I applied for IDFC Wealth credit card today. my savings accounts with IDFC only has my permanent address and my permanent address is not same as my current address. I have used my current residence address (Gurgaon) in the wealth application. will it cause any issues? and what will happen in home and office verification? TIA

 

[ccdc]

What was your limit earlier for wealth cc?

 

[HumorSimpson]

They lowered the bar of wealth cc as it is as bad as select now.

Thanks bro. I meant BMS offer via Visa Infinite variant, not through card.
(I read somewhere that Visa infinite has some BMS offer - that quota based thing)

Earlier limit 4, now showing 5. I will confirm after getting it.

 

[raghumahajan]

@cardio_guy , thanks for this post,
I have been trying to get IDFC CC for last 5 years, despite having account, no luck in getting the same.
I tried today and multiple cards like muyura, ashv including wealth shown up. I applied the same.

When I applied it few years ago, I got it instantly without any verification nor did I had their savings account at that time. So maybe I wouldn't be the best person to answer your query of home & office verification. But in my opinion, without thinking too much, just go for it & try your luck of getting it instantly. Even if it gets rejected, just a Cibil enquiry will be the only loss.

You have easily been issued the anticipated IDFC credit card with a decent limit, which could be due to upcoming sales on Flipkart (goat sale )or Amazon, where IDFC is one of the instant discount partners on Flipkart.
