Won't people move to Rupay Select/Platinum DCs for domestic lounge access? Those cards still costs less than 1000 a year.

The question is - kab tak?

Agree. It's going to take some time but lounges will be in a better shape. As long as they are like how they used to be pre covid (lesser crowd) I'm happy 🙂

What about Regalia Business? Seems like unaffected 😎

Honestly in domestic flights very little time is left to really eat well in lounges. Just a cold drink ad few snacks . Because its free, people go.

International flights it is useful.

We have to understand banks are weary after axis loot by cc community and hence trying to make conditions so that cash burn is reduced and only profitable customers remain. Infact, people are also mindlessly accmumulating 10s of credit cards just due to FOMO .

HDFC Bank credit cards are becoming like ICICI. Inherently useless. Even in Regalia Gold the card is one of the worst in reward rate for everyday spends. Even with Smart buy it is only just slightly above average.

Just two complimentary lounge access vouchers will be offered as part of quarterly milestone benefit. Following which, the access will depend on credit card spending.​

• From December 1, the lounge access program will be based on one's credit card spends.
• The credit card user should spend Rs 1 lakh or more in a calendar quarter (January-March, April-June, July-September, October-December) to get access to the lounge benefits.
• Just two complimentary lounge access vouchers as part of a quarterly milestone benefit will be available for the users.

HDFC Bank on Tuesday said that it has tweaked some rules for its Regalia Credit Cards. From December 1, the lounge access program will be based on one's credit card spending. The credit card user should spend Rs 1 lakh or more in a calendar quarter (January-March, April-June, July-September, October-December) to get access to the lounge benefits.
