Need clarification regarding HDFC DCB Add On Lounge Access

[avishj]

Do DCB add on's provide the same lounge access as the primary card? Please tell for both Indian and Foreign lounges.

Don't know about DCB, but for DCP they share the same quota and both card holders can access.
(Haven't tried international yet)

If the addon person has HDFC account, you can apply online and it will be delivered at primary account address. Very easy. You just need customer id of that person. I myself did that.
Otherwise it is a manual application through branch, but they will never say no to it if you have required documents.

Ya when I applied, for few days nothing happened. I dont remember getting any reference id in return. After 5-7 days I got message your card is dispatched with AWB xyz.
And thanks to bluedart, it was delivered in 1-2 days.

for me, addon card applied and delivered in 3 days ONLY if the addon applicant is HDFC customer. for non customer, you have to submit all kyc documents in branch. doesn't matter ltf/alumni offer or not.

 

[avishj]

Alumni and add on I cant comment since i'm not in that category.
But lounge access both dom and intl yes DCB have unlimited feature and addon can use same day same lounge together

So add on is also completely unlimited both DOM + INTL if I understand correctly?

Ohkay, makes a lot of sense! Good to know!

Regalia PP is issued to Add On holder as well? and usage is common between primary and add on? Currently, I have a regalia add on coming in a day or two. Regalia PP had complimentary for add on as well? Setting up the process for DCB alumni and then will get add on via there, but that's going to take time.

I am thinking of opening an account with them to make it easier to get DCB add on with a customer ID down the line. Currently will be receiving a Regalia add on.

 

[avishj]

Also, HDFC Add On reports to primary cardholder CIBIL or add on holder's CIBIL?

Yes. You can apply PP for Addon.

Yes you're right buddy

But for issuing addon they will ask wife pan also (say that kyc blah blah but not received any cibil check with my wife's pan) but reporting is on primary PAN only

 

[avishj]

No

Ohkay, so primary holder's score it is. Thanks for the info!

Yes. You can apply PP for Addon.

That's great to know, till I get DCB sorted!

Yes you're right buddy

Ohkay, that is awesome then, unlimited with add on is perfect for my needs. The PAN is not an issue, even if they do a CIBIL check, the score is good.
