Devaluation HDFC Tata Neu card domestic lounge benefit devalued. Spend > 50k in quarter

[VHARIA]

After Tata Neu launching card with SBI with spend based domestic lounge offer, it was a matter of time that HDFC would introduce spend based lounge criteria too.

This is the latest card to introduce after Kotak introduced such criteria in all its lower and mid tier cards.

The worst part of all this is not everyone has to keep a track of expenses to calculate the eligibility. The good part is now we may probably see some empty spaces in domestic lounges.

Received another 2 lounge vouchers for this quarter. Met spend criteria again.

I tried redeeming the lounge access voucher that I received on July 27th from HDFC Tata Neu.
This time, surprisingly it is not through DreamFolks, but there is a new lounge aggregator - HOI.
Their website is https://hoi.in/ and it looks like they have an app too.



I just received a QR code/voucher code and the email says to show it at the airport.
Looks like HOI is not servicing any major airports - From the website, it looks like they service only New Delhi, Hyderabad and Goa.
I will be sure tomorrow only when I go to the lounge.

You generated for a specific airport, or is it a generic voucher?

Generic voucher, just like Dreamfolks, but it is through HOI, so I guess it will work only on those lounges serviced by HOI.
(Not sure if I can give it to someone else)
