HDFC Infinia & DCB devaluation - airline/hotel partners transfer ratio reduced

[hritiksakshi]

HDFC Bank has indirectly devalued their Infinia and DCB credit cards by reducing the conversion ratio from 1:1 to 2:1 for some partners, namely - Accor, Lifemiles, and Turkish. This change will take effect from 15th January 2024.

Therefore, the last date for a 1:1 transfer to the aforementioned partners is 14th January.

U r taking my last hope away😅. Is that real? We have only one month for transfer and it takes one month to credit points, so anymore transactions won't give 1:1 transfers😭. At least old transactions can be converted quickly.

Edit: My bill date is 15th, if they waited 2 more days, I could have transferred one more month of points😉. Bad luck. Does it make sense to change billing cycle to 12th so that I can get one more month of spends converted? Not sure if they will agree though, as I already did it once.

Btw, which tweet u r talking about on 24th?

Correct. Don't know why is so much fuss being created. You still can do lots of things with Infinia.

Don't have that much. Hdfc anyway has 15k/7500 limit for smartbuy. It will take 10 months just to reach that.

When there is no news for a while, any news becomes sansani.
Influencers are out of talking to talk about so this is the new trending topic.

The best value of HDFC points for a miles enthusiast were accor and Lifemiles actually.

 

[sky_walker_rules]

after Magnus, influencers are having a hard time as nothing to post/get consultation fee for miles usage suggestion etc, I remember one influencer had put a petition to Axis to restore Magnus benefits lol
