also you get 1 tierpoint per 2 lakh spend, not 1 voucher. and i don't think i need the tierpoint since i am not looking at 9w status as an important part of my travel plans now a days.

no, its not the same. its lesser. for example, no lounge access on 9w/9wk flights .. if mastercard/visa lounge access is their answer, then that is not something that is exclusive to this card.

a couple of guys from hdfc came by the office to get my form signed & collect the documents....they said they would try to get my first year fee waived....i told them it would be waived for me in any case since i am a plat member but they seemed to know nothing about that....i told them its mentioned on the jet site & they seemed very surprised....
Perhaps that's why Jet picked HDFC (besides HDFC fitting better with Jet's new low-rent image).

while i don't work for hdfc bank, trust me they are not the only one. everyone into distribution of personal financial products is an overzealous bugger who wants to sell me something I don't want to buy, is ill trained on the product they are offering, don't have answers to questions.. and i wish they had a repellant cream for them like odomos for mosquitos.

ICICI is the other one. Between them and HDFC, they can make the JetChildren and the AIChildren look like superstars.
They're like government banks masquerading as something modern and friendly. But many of the real mccoys - Bank of Baroda, SBI, canara Bank for example - are far better to deal with.
