HDFC Infinia Credit Card & Priority Pass Lounge Access related queries.

[Achal]

Just 2 question
1. Can we access the domestic lounge for free using the priority pass we get from infinia credit card??

2. Instead of using priority pass, can we use the credit card itself directly to get free domestic lounge access??

Priority Pass issued with Infinia CC is unlimited free for primary and addon as well in domestic and international.

Infinia CC has limited to 12 lounge visits free if cost (Was informed by Lounge operator at Bangalore).

@TechnoFino -- another question regarding this.

Since the Primary and Add on card have the same card numbers. How can they distinguish if the card is primary or add on?
On that front, if an add on card holder goes in and swipe their Infinia card to access domestic lounge, would it be charged?


Adding some more info.
I travelled from Pune to Bagdogra this April. I swiped my Infinia and my wives add on Infinia in Pune Earth Lounge and Banglore's BLR lounge.
In the statement I see 4 charges for Rs 2 each. I have checked the statement for the next month as well. Don't see anything which jumps up.
I will check the later statements to see if they have charged me at a later date.

Infinia has unlimited domestic lounge access for primary and add on card holders. When Card is swiped at Lounge POS machine, the slip shows number of visits as unlimited


Further they are also allowed to use Priority pass both at domestic and international lounges, again unlimited.

The official communication is a bit diff. Unlimited domestic and international lounge visit using PP. Unlimited domestic for Primary card holder for domestic.

I have two add on cards for wife and son. Lounge access slips of all three cards shows unlimited visits.

That's good to know. Is your son over 18? If not how did you get an add on card for him?

Sorry I am new to this lounge access thing but to summarize:

1. Direct Infinia CC - Unlimited Domestic lounge access without PP
2. PP - Unlimited lounge access overseas and at PP lounges in India at domestic terminals

Is this rt?

Direct Infinia -- Unlimited Domestic lounge using CC
PP -- Unlimited Domestic and International lounge for Primary and Add ons.

Thanks a lot. Saw this TnC just now:

 

[NOOBY]

if your Infinia add-ons have same card number as primary card (when the add-ons are sourced offline), I assume you can swipe them as well..

I had swiped add-on card once, but wasn't charged. I did not take such risk after that and always request add-on members to use PP

The thing is, we don't know when HDFC would devaluate Infinia and would stop domestic access via PP and so, using CC seems safer (eventhough they say that only primary can be used)

Are there any lounges that accept Infinia but not the PP in India?
