I've honestly never felt any acceptance issues with DCB. Neither in India nor abroad. Some ingame purchases have that restriction but not of frequent use.
Neu infinity is still the first choice of many for UPI. Swiggy card is also good for its fee

Agreed, I am using it for rent payment 25k/mon at 50% total card limit utilisation, with no additional rent fee charged and also covering quarterly spend milestone to generate a 1% return on it, all this by using their hdfc billpay portal ensuring regular base reward points as its utlity mcc. Couldn't ask for more from hdfc.

Starting Apr 01, 2024, one can enjoy One complimentary airport lounge access by spending Rs. 35,000 in the preceding calendar quarter. Spends made in the preceding calendar quarter will unlock access for the subsequent calendar quarter. To be eligible for complimentary lounge access in Apr-May-Jun, 2024 quarter, one needs to spend a minimum of Rs.35,000 in the January-February-March 2024 quarter and similarly for following quarters.
Starting Feb 01, 2024, a DCC fee of 1% plus taxes will be applicable on each international transaction carried out in Indian currency at an international location or transactions carried out in Indian currency with merchants located in India but registered in a foreign nation. This change will apply to all ICICI Bank credit cards.
Rewards on Rent Payment and E-Wallet Loading:
From Feb 01, 2024, rent pay and e-wallet loading transactions will not accrue any reward points.
This change will not apply for Amazon pay ICICI Bank credit card.
Wow. Didn't know that. In that case I can just spend on my Amex MRCC and use Sapphiro MC for backup while using Sapphiro Amex for lounge (it has nice lounges). That way I can maximise rewards and optimise spending. Thanks.
I meant using Sapphiro MC for backup. I'll satisfy the 5k/qtr criteria pretty easily with that. MRCC is more for regular spends where Amex is accepted.
I wonder if the previous spend thresholds were Rs 5k in the preceding quarter. Those are the conditions for lounge access on Sapphiro at least. Thankfully Rubyx and Sapphiro are excluded.
🤦♂️ If this is official I am not sure what to do with my cards, recently made 3 EMI transactions during great Indian festival 😭 spending 35k per quarter to get 1 lounge access in next quarter doesn't make sense to me. I think it's better to get LIT card and get add-on service.
