Retention offer for Yes bank card

[drsel]

Is there any retention offer for keeping Yes first business card (which is lifetime free).

Normally if you phone customer care and ask to close your card they will transfer the call to the retention team, who will make you an offer of cashback or points to keep the card

Closing a LTF card which you don't need/don't want/don't use will boost your credit score.
Because It shows that you are less hungry for credit.

So unless there is a good incentive to keep the LTF card, you should close it to boost your credit score.

After I closed HDFC Millenia, Amex MRCC, RBL World Safari, RBL Platinum Maxima, SBI Simply click, SBI FBB, etc; my credit score jumped an incredible 98 points!

To me it appears, you indirectly encashed the cibil points by not closing unnecessary ltf cards and accepting retention offer.

I can give you one idea, keep doing such every year for ltf cards and if you collect almost 1000 rs every year then you can purchase cibil yearly subscription from that amount 🤣🤣

You be surprised to know that cards with annual fees give good retention offers and then they also remove the annual fee if requested

Maybe for entry level cards but not premium or super premium cards....

The Yes Bank 1st level CC guys (mostly girls)have Zero / near zero knowledge .and most probably zero authority to do any sort of these things..

So your try for luck resulted in deception..
May be try later..
If I were you, I wouldn't trouble a bank which is in recovery mode after near death incident..
But I again I am actually not you and
you are not me !!!

What was the score before closing these cards? It will help put things in perspective

Leave it. It's not worth the time and effort.
