Has anyone used Rupay Platinum or Select card to access Lounge in Changi airport singapore or in Vietnam airport ?

Credit card or debit card ?
I am planning to use canara rupay select debit card .
Will they allow if i use my other card for my guest ? Or name should be matched? .
Arrival lounge after immigration or before bro ?
Tata neu infinity rupay select cc.

It depends on lounge executive. Usually name should match, but sometimes if you give 2 cards in your name and have guest, they allow, it depends on lounge to lounge.

Sometimes if you are lucky and they are sleepy they won't even match name. Happened once at Changi T1 plaza premium at wee hours (3 o'clock in the morning), she didn't even check name on priority pass.

Most of Changi lounges can be accessed upon arrival before cleaning immigration. Arrival boarding pass worked for me at plaza premium T1 (see above story).

In singapore there are lounges before immigration and after arrival immigration also. After arrival immigration go to Jewel Terminal and go to "Changi lounge". You can take free shower there.

I know that the lounge charged $32 if we swiped a Rupay debit card at international lounges. And later this amount is refunded by the bank.

Did the Rupay credit card also work on a similar line?

Well HDFC website says it'll charge $3.25 and later refund for Tata neu infinity rupay select cc, but in reality I was never charged anything so no question of refund also.

Should I tell them to try in in priority pass or diners club?
Telling has no effect. They swipe on their special machine and that machine shows them which service provider it is (because they deal with tens of networks from hundreds of different countries). Whatever network it is, they'll process it through that.

I thought they have different machine for priority pass and different for diners

They do have different machines. What I saw was, when I told her "it's diners club can you check if this is eligible", she said "sure let me check", then after swiping on a machine she said "it is priority pass not diners, shall I proceed?". I asked her if she was sure about priority pass (I had no idea at that time and was little puzzled as of how can it suddenly become priority pass). Then she showed me the screen and it was indeed showing as "priority pass". She also said that they have no way to know if access is free or not. I asked her to go ahead and she swiped the card on another machine and access was granted instantly.

Breaking News : I just registered my PNB Rupay (Diners/Discover network) credit card with Priority Pass, and it was successfully activated. A digital (QR code-based) membership card is generated.
