I would think not, since you're not going through Smartbuy? And Amazon is not a standalone 10x partner for HDFC anymore.

You will not get 10x even if you land on Amazon through Smartbuy as Amazon pay transactions are excluded from 10x.
The exact lines from T&C are:
This Offer is not applicable on the purchase of: a) Amazon Pay balance b) Amazon Flight Tickets c) Gold and Silver coins d) Gift Cards including Bank cards (Such as RBL and ticket compliment GCs) e) Axis Bank and Joyalukkas Gift Vouchers f) Bill Payments and Recharges g) Amazon Prime membership
To get 10x on bill payments, buy Amazon gift voucher through Smartbuy -> Gyftr and pay using the gift voucher.

How do I upgrade to Infinia if I want? It seems like a invite only card, should I go through my RM?

Yes that would be the way to go. Keep us posted about what happens.

Waiting a bit more (unless you have some immediate purchases to take advantage of Infinia's higher limits) might not be a bad idea. Perhaps the contracts Diners had expired and they didn't renew or do any new partnerships because nobody could purchase anything anyways.

Maybe they will announce new partnerships once things open up (of course they might not be ideal spend partners).

Thanks a lot, will wait a few months and see what happens to 10x.

Sign-up offer for Upgrades

Has anyone else got this for going from the old DCB (3608) to the new one (3610)? I just got the SMS with a link and e-voucher code. The link takes me to "https://offers.smartbuy.hdfcbank.com/milestone/claim/signup-offer-for-upgrades" but when I enter the code I get a "Technical error" message. Which confirms this is a 100% genuine HDFC offer.

Only thing is I don't know what this for. Does anybody know? What can one get with this e-voucher?

Link finally worked. You can select between Smartbuy, Bata, Big Bazaar, Amazon & Flipkart. Not a bad bonus for upgrading your card I think.

Of course, when I say link worked I mean I was able to select my e-voucher. It's been about 30 minutes, I'm yet to receive it. The site now says they're "processing it".

Meanwhile, the Smartbuy 10x page shows the offer ended April 30. So I guess that gives them a get-out to deny 9x points for Smartbuy spends in May.

Of course it wouldn't be HDFC if there wasn't conflicting information all over the place, would it?

This is where it says April 30 - https://www.hdfcbankdinersclub.com/privileges
