HDFC Regalia Gold or DCB?

I got a call from HDFC regarding a credit card. It could be either Regalia Gold LTF or Diner's club Black LTF.

My needs: Just the upcoming Flipkart big billion / Amazon great Indian festival deals. I might do upto 5k per month for groceries on regular days.

Current credit limit: 6.7L in ICICI Sapphiro (highest among 4 others)

Please suggest.

I don’t think so.
Diners black and Infinia have unlimited international lounges. Not the case with Regalia

Don't get DCB. Too much pain with terrible acceptance at common places

Bro, I’ve 9L limit on Milennia and I’m not getting Regalia Gold on LTF. 😭 What is your secret sauce Musk baba?

Most probably because I am a new customer. I did see a few posts by existing HDFC cardholders on different sites having the same concern as yours. If we go with the official HDFC website, I don't qualify for DCB but the HDFC lady said it's based on my current limit on other cards which I am skeptical about. Rounds of devaluation and now I don't care about cashback or reward points, just want a card with HDFC.

Not sure if DCB is LTF as the offer was removed last Nov. In any case, DCB has unlimited lounge access, 10% guaranteed discount through reward points at Amazon, Flipkart, Swiggy etc. if you use Payzapp for all transactions. E.g. I had booked Mumbai-Bangalore flight at some 2800 for which I received reward points equivalent to 1/6th of the amount (for reward points redemption, 1 RP = 1 Re. if used for booking flights/trains/buses etc.) In short, DCB is way better. Acceptance rate might be an issue as someone pointed out but I have never faced it.

How to apply for these credit cards?

I guess you can just check the eligibility (salary per month) and apply directly on the official website.

Guys, help me decide a really good credit card between hdfc and icici.

I targeted for regalia, but they won't give it. They are trying to upsell millenia and saying they will upgrade it later based on my spending etc. I haven't checked ...

Which credit card is actually good?

I have Amazon pay ICICI, it started off well, I made all payments thru Amazon pay and good cash back but now while making payments on 3P apps, you can only use Amazon pay UPI

The other card I have has is Kotak Indigo and it’s shit
