Yeah except Citi doesn't give points for a whole bunch of merchant codes... so you have to really think hard "will it work..."!

Yeah, they seem to be making it tough for people to do this these days. I went through the rigmarole, submitted salary slips along with the form and received a template rejection email a few days later that, of course, gave no reasons why. If this happens to you, write to their grievance redressal email and keep writing until someone or the other eventually apologises and either processes your upgrade or asks for your docs again and then processes it. This seems to be SOP for HDFC - had to do all this when I got my DCB some five years ago as well.

My DCB was a side-grade from the Jet Airways Diners card and they basically refused until I wrote some "stern words". With the Infinia, it was pretty much like I had come out of nowhere and asked for a Centurion card. No such issues with Citi when I got the Prestige - a phone call was all it took.
Apparently now HDFC's official criterion for Infinia is a yearly salary of ~45L or some such, which is out of whack with the fee the card charges and what it offers.

Are you able to redeem Gyftr voichers now using DCB? It seems like Gyftr has moved to Razorpay which historically has played bad with DCB. I'm no longer able to buy any vouchers now.
