Millennia Visa to Diners Club

[Phonix_YT]

is this possible to convert millennia Visa to diners Club?

 

[knight]

Yes possible and very easy too. just drop a mail to Grievance.Redressalcc@hdfcbank.com.

But before you upgrade let me tell you some negatives and positives.

Negatives

1) Acceptance issues comapred to visa.
2) High MDR charged by diners network to merchant and some offline merchants avoid these cards, becuase of this.

Positives

1) Wider lounge availability.
2) Faster transaction speed on merchants as observed my me.

and your new card will remain LTF as well.

Have you tried tap to pay on non-hdfc pos machines?

Just drop them a mail or simply call their customer care. They'll do it without any hassle. You're not asking for any upgrade. Its just network change.

It's an upgrade actually not a network change. Melleinum is a far lower variant card than any of the Diners cards

Millenia is card name. Diners club is network. There's no relation between these two. Diners in itself isn't anything. Its just like MC & Visa.

Millenia is available in 3 card networks:
1) Mastercard
2) Visa
3) Diners

Interchanging between these card network for same card Variant (Millenia) isn't an upgrade.

@Chaitanya-a is correct, it's not an upgrade just network change. I think you confused Millennia Diners Card with other premium HDFC Diners Club cards like DCB.

for better lounge access. is there any disadvantages in having diners club?

Advantages - launge access only.
Disadvantage - low Support of Diners card in offline POS machines.

I'm facing problems for tap n pay payments

Bro i was talking about card decline not tap to pay. Tap to pay is worse in diners network it doesn't work in 90% machine's.

Let me share a real life example-

I went to a subway and ordered some sandwiches etc and gave them my dinners millennia to pay. The guy asked me "sir tap to pay on h kya isme" i said yes. But, then he saw diners logo and said "sir apko pin hi dalna padega diners ka card".

If you want tap to pay convenience than stay away from diners cards.

Thanks bro. Got my diners millenia delivered yesterday.
