It seems that HDFC is not willing to waive off the annual charges for JP Platinum members.
I was issued the DC a couple of months back, but they charged the annual fees only towards the end of last month. Subsequently to the holidays, I complained with the CS on phone and this morning received a call from my branch enlightning me about a new policy. This is what I was told on the call (with a heavy South-Indian accent):
I argued that the T&C's state that the DC would be free for JP Plats and when i viewed the HDFC website, so as to pass the link to the HDFC chap, to my utter surprise, HDFC website now has no mention of the fee waiver for the Platinum members. I quickly switched to the JP Partners page, where thankfully, it still states that "JetPrivilege Platinum members can avail of this card at no annual fees until they maintain their JetPrivilege Platinum tier"
I guess, I would need to visit the branch and speak to the same guy with VIRAT KOHLI style / accent that goes something like:
M@#$(#$%.. B*&%#@.. M@#$(#$%.. B*&%#@...!!
A2A any clue about whats hapenning here..?
Any other JP Platinum members facing similar issues..?
