Why is Eterna different? I thought one can access all the lounges on Visa/MC network via a Visa/MC CARD as long as lounge access is allowed with that.

Infinia HDFC Infinia Priority Pass Charged for Access in Domestic Indian Airports
- Thread starter jaisinghal
- Start date
vahi, people go haywire, everyone wants to call them and mail them what for? just for an answer they can post here and get some brownie points over
Can you share the link for Infinia domestic lounge list? The link on the lounge document is disabled.
Some of us may have used the PP domestically recently. And it is better to have something in writing from HDFC in case they charge our credit cards. Let's not get judgemental.
It's not always about getting the brownie points buddy and what brownie points...who cares. With PP not being allowed domestically, ppl might be concerned about additional privileges that come with Infinia being curtailed like faster entry into the lounges, access to arrival lounges and so on. Moreover, some travelers have used PP to access domestic lounges recently. Most of folks here simply trying to seek clarity here.
Posts don't give you points like cards do. Any post is ok as long as it's adding some value or making some sense.
Call me crazy but this email doesn’t even once mention the word Infinia. Without that context, these rules have been true for all CC except Infinia for years. You should confirm this specifically for Infinia in a followup and ask from which exact date are these charges effective for this specific card.
Agree, I too used pp domestically recently
But I don't think bombarding the bank with questions by everyone is the right way to go
Everyone asking the same question also raises flags and highlights certain things to management which sometimes causes decisions to be taken which they weren't even thinking of.
If someone has mentioned they have sent a mail or have called and talked and are awaiting response the right thing to do is wait instead of just jumping to send hundreds of mail to them
Sending emails to the bank is a different thing than making posts for brownie points. People, incl. myself, have written to the bank to seek clarity as customer care's responses have been pretty inconsistent. Also, it's about making them realize that a formal communication to the card holders is required in case of such changes or this may lead to a bad PR and customer dissatisfaction. You may recall, when GVP was continued in Dec '24, some people spoke to CC and also emailed them which led to reinstatement of the program.

You'll ask questions so cs will reply something or the other with no consistency
There is no confirmation that pp cannot be used domestically, no communication of the same has been done
If anyone sees the charges then we can say we've been wrongly charged
In the current case as many people have said it could've been guest swipes that were charged and OP never confirmed if it was that or not
Also agreed, but that was dissatisfaction with some confirmation of gvp closing, this is dissatisfaction for something that isn't even likely true

Unfortunately someone merged threads pertaining to 2 different topics. One was about OP getting charged on his PP in Nov '24 which has nothing to do with the recent change and the other was is about the banking mandating the usage of PP for domestic lounges. For the latter, our folks are trying to get some clarity so that they don't get charged retrospectively and also trying to express their disappointment on this forum which is ok
Unfortunately the mod in question (@sidp) is too busy shutting people up and defending himself for merging totally unrelated threads, on grounds that the guy got charged for November usage in March because HDFC is applying this PP change retroactively!! I can’t believe this is the level of basic financial knowledge and logical abilities of our new moderators here @TechnoFino.
Yeah. My thread of Infinia PP Devaluation should never have been merged with this thread. I tried explaining to the mod about the difference, but to no avail. Now people are confused after seeing the first page, and the last few pages, as both of them are not related at all.

All lounges for international flights which are located within India are domestic lounges.
You are outside India only when you leave Indian Air space
Could someone post the latest list of domestic lounges accessible with Infinia card? The link on their portal doesn't work.
"We regret to inform you that you are unable to use"...
Messaging always open to interpretation...
I think PP from Olympus allows.
