Another Card by HDFC to join the Devaluation Club

1. The Buy One Get One Benefit is a nice addition since I don't have any cards with Movie Benefits
2. Conditional Lounge Access is bad now

 

[hakunamatata]

Lounge access limited to 8 from 12

Welcome benefits have been removed. Instead of 40k monthly milestone, one will have to spend 150k in a quarter for same amount of benefits.

I think buy 1 get 1 was previously available as well.
Huge devaluation in terms of lounge and spend based coupons.
12 yearly --> 2 quarterly on 15k spends prev qtr
1k voucher per 40k spend --> 1.5k decathlon voucher per 150k spend

Huge Huge Devaluation in terms of lounge access
Previously 12 visits per year - no monthly/quarterly capping and with no spending condition.
Now 2 visits per quarter with spend of Rs. 15000 in previous quarter.

I can't understand the requirement of 15K spend for 2 lounge access. I mean even ICICI has 5000 capping on their cards for Lounge Access. What HDFC is smoking?

Looks like I have to get Magnus C2C for the sake of Lounge Access

It's simple. HDFC wants to cut down its user base massively. That's why devaluing each n every card and making them useless gradually.

Where other banks are improving their products n services, HDFC is degrading their products. Services were already pathetic. Now products joining the league.

DCB will be next in the firing line it seems

This is a huge devaluation for DCP
Regalia now is above DCP for sure

 

[Prime Carlsen]

There are some reward changes for Diner's Privilege card. The changes are mentioned in this pdf. I could not find any equivalent doc for DCB.
Just noticed similar thread already exists - https://www.technofino.in/community/threads/diners-club-privilege-devaluation-w-e-f-aug-1.13874/ , kindly delete this one.

It's already poor wrt its own Infinia at a little higher charge. Hardly any useful renewal benefit. But yes, with the bulk user addition due to alumni offer, they might do it.

The only good part of DCP was 12 lounge access world wide without any quarterly cap but now it’s got conditions. Also the monthly milestone was 1 500rs voucher but the document says 2 vouchers. I am sure HDFC is smoking something.

Wo list waise hi itni badi hai compared to ICICI one. Either they should restrict it only to top institutes or else devaluation is highly likely.
