Infinia Regalia to Infinia Upgrade (Query)

[Gaurav_96]

Yea. Will do. How many days it took for you exactly after your documents reached Chennai.? any mails you have received after that.?

My documents arrived at the Chennai office on April 25, and the card was upgraded yesterday. I started to put pressure on my RM starting last week. She was in touch with the Chennai team, and she only called me yesterday morning, notifying me about the upgrade.

 

[Gaurav_96]

Did you have any RPs in your old card? Were those points transferred immediately? At what rate were they transferred, i guess it's 50%?

Yes, 50%. It took 24 hours.

Visa Infinite DC does not have unlimited lounge access and MC World has 2 per quarter, not per year.

Private Banking Visa Infinite DC has 6 per quarter (https://www.icicibank.com/personal-banking/cards/debit-card/private-banking-visa-infinite-debit-card)
Wealth Select Visa Infinite DC has 4 per quarter (https://www.icicibank.com/personal-banking/cards/debit-card/wealth-select-visa-infinite-debit-card)
Mastercard World DC has 2 per quarter (https://www.icicibank.com/personal-banking/cards/debit-card/world-debitcard)

Do you actually use lounge access when flying domestic? I find them a pain to use, given the queues and the crowds inside lounges. It's more cattle class inside the lounge than outside. I prefer staying in the boarding area or eating at a restaurant if the restaurant is decent, like Carnatic Cafe at T3 IGIA DEL. In smaller airports everything is bad, from food to lounges. The only lounge I use is when I fly Vistara from BOM because as an Axis Vistara Infinite holder I get Vistara Gold status and that gives access to the Adani Business Class lounge at CSMIA BOM T2.

Well it depends on what lounges are available. For example Mumbai T2 Domestic has Amex centurion which I like. Same with Adani business at t2 domestic.
Mumbai T2 International is crap loyalty lounge. Bangalore T1/t2 080 is good. Also lounge crowd is fast decreasing. Last month Bangalore 080 in T2 domestic was almost empty at night.

The card got delivered this morning. I've applied for add-on cards. Will they also come in the same packaging?

Congratulations!

Yes, add-on cards come in the same packaging. Takes around 2-5 days depending on where you live.

Did you ask your RM on the status of your upgrade?

Fingers crossed you will get it soon!

Did you ask your RM on the status of your upgrade?

Yes, she said is checking and will update. But nothing. I can't ask her daily.

I am sure once it's approved she will call like hell for the investment.

Haha, this is 100% true. My RM was on adrenaline the entire day and kept on calling me every hour with some rubbish investment plans. Even my RM's manager congratulated me and asked me about my money management and where I invest.

I had to switch off my phone until last night.

The feel of this card is excellent, but the looks are okay-ish. Not sure why it is not being issued on world-elite network.

No, I mean colours and everything, they did not put much efforts into decorating this card.

Black and white circles are supposed to be world elite no?

I think you can easily change the network from MC to Visa by mailing them.
I have done on Millennia
