DCB Acceptance issues on both online/offline spends

[vijay]

Hi All, I am going to get DCB FYF upgrade. I have heard some card acceptance issues for DCB on both online/offline spends. Can anyone with the experience of using this card highlight what the issues are? I have also heard that DCB has tied up with Rupay so acceptance issues should be less. Is it true? Do POS machines in normal or branded stores accept this card? Is there any way or tip to mitigate acceptance issues?

Does Regalia provides add on card? If so, I will get an add on Regalia with my wife's card so that it's a back up card. I took Zomato card as back up but not sure where I have thrown it after devaluation 😂 I don't use my ICICI Sapphiro as pretty much moved all my spends to HDFC. Let me try to ask Infinia then

on website, they have mentioned pp for addon for international lounge, but no mention about domestic addon access.

Thanks. I am not much bothered about lounge access. My wife has DCB as add on from me.

Not related to acceptance, does anyone know how to view calender month wise spend in HDFC cards and not statement date wise month? I am a HDFC Bank netbanking user if it helps?

I believe that information is not available. Even for total spends, across months, when I called their support team, I could hear the person - very helpfully - loudly adding up my various statements month-by-month. So I thanked them and told them I would do the addition myself 🙂

I have both DCB and Amex and in city like Lucknow DCB is doing excellent.

In net banking credit card section, when you open a new window through "Redeem Reward Points" tab, that new platform shows me my month wise spends for my DCB under "Spend Promo Details" or some similar tab. That screen actually tells me how far am I from my monthly milestone benefit as milestone benefits runs from 1st to 1st of months. But only total spend amount will be shown, not details.
I remember for my moneyback card which had quarterly milestone, it use to show quarterly spends. So if you have DCB or any such card with monthly milestone benefit, you can track this way 🙂
Hope it helps.

I have a Diners Millenia card. It has always worked offline for me. In most cases even contactless works correctly.
The issue is mostly with online spends, many sites don't accept Diners (or AmEx, for that matter). Even international sites like Steam, they removed AmEx and Diners a few years ago.

But anyway, I think I will keep at least 1 Diners Card (since I don't have Priority Pass or any super premium card). Because of the Domestic Lounge access, I feel it's better than the other variants of Millenia.

Thanks a lot, It works like a charm. It shows the current month and previous calendar month. Not sure why this is hidden in such a place 😂🤔
