Important update on Lounge Access via HDFC Credit Cards from December 1st, 2023.
HDFC Regalia First
  1. Effective December 1st, 2023, Complimentary lounge access at lounges within and outside India can no longer be availed on Regalia First Card.
HDFC Millennia
  1. To Access Domestic Lounges you need to spend Rs 1 lac in a quarter.
  2. The number of domestic lounge visits on HDFC Millennia reduced to 1 from 2 per quarter
HDFC Regalia
  1. To Access Domestic Lounges you need to spend Rs 1 lac in a quarter.
  2. No condition is applicable for International Lounge access using PP issued with HDFC Regalia
HDFC Regalia Gold
  1. No changes were made.
Looks like another attempt by HDFC Bank to pocket annual fees by making people upgrade to Regalia Gold who are holding LTF HDFC Regalia and HDFC Millennia.

Does anyone know when will HDFC start sending the email for availing lounge access for Millennia card holders on meeting the quarterly spend target? Their website said it will start from Dec 1 2023, but I dont see any update since then.
Dont want to end up spending this quarter and not receive the eGC!

You'll get an SMS few days after completing the 1L milestone.

It'll same as the the SMS you get for 1000 eGV.

You can EITHER take 1000 Amazon GV OR 1 Lounge Access. NOT BOTH.
 
Anyone tried claiming the lounge voucher? I spent 1L and the milestone benifits are unlocked and ready to claim. But I don't know if they'll be available only for a certain duration or not.

I have a few concerns like is there a time limit for claiming the vouchers? Untill next quarter begins / 1 month / 6 month?
After claiming, do we have to use them untill a certain period?
Can someone besides us use them as they're coupons and I don't think they'll be linked to us somehow?
Update for Regalia
The vouchers are still there even after the quarter ended.
Used one voucher and it generated a Dreamfolks QR code with a validity of 1 year.
Used that voucher on Bangalore airport 080 lounge.
The lady at the front desk asked whose name is on the card and said mine (true).
Later after approval asked her if the name of the cardholder came up when she scanned the QR code and she said no and it was just a routine question.
Will be availing the second voucher and my brother will try to use it in feb. Hope it goes well

These are milestone spends. If you spend 5L in a anniversary year ( 12 month from the month your card was issued) you get additional reward points 5-10k depending on your card.
 
two questions.

I will be accessing a domestic lounge for a few hours with my family (3 people). HDFC provides 12 domestic lounge access within India.

a. Can I use the primary card thrice for access?
b. Is the domestic lounge access allowed on add-on card also?
