Hello Readers,

I would like to throw some light on one unique benefit added in new Regalia Gold card. The benefit called by HDFC is "Complimentary Airport Drop voucher when ticket is booked on Smartbuy using Regalia Gold credit card". HDFC just call it a Airport drop voucher but it is more than that. I am sure many of the users are not aware about this benefit details as I was also not aware. I just tried it myself and I was surprised looking at what I got. Let me go through the steps and details.

After you book your ticket on Smartbuy using Regalia Gold credit card, you need to go to Regalia Gold Benefits > Travel Benefits and click on Premium Travel Benefits.

You need to enter ticket booking details and your voucher will be issued with in 2 to 4 hours. Below are details of voucher:

They issue Uber voucher of Rs 300. When you claim that voucher in Uber, it will be added as 300 Rs in Uber cash. Technically, this Uber cash can be used in any trip and can be used in multiple trips also if it is not fully consumed in one trip. Though, HDFC is saying it is Airport drop voucher but it is like 300 Rs cashback in form of Uber cash which can be used in any Uber trip. Uber cash validity is of 1 Year as mentioned in voucher.

This can be claimed for 2 tickets in one quarter. So I think it is good benefit (of not so rewarding Regalia Gold card). If someone is buying ticket of small amount like 3000 Rs to 5000 Rs then this is additional cashback of 6% to 10%.

I just wanted to share insight information of this benefit because I myself could not find this details until I booked flight ticket and experienced this. I hope this will be useful for some readers.
 
I got those milestone benefits in FY 2023-24, last one in Feb 2024. People have reported since that Regalia Gold users are not getting those milestone benefits. Maybe I got lucky with a glitch that wasn't patched and got patched later on
Yes it was a bug... People who upgraded from Regalia OG to Regalia Gold had the milestone benefit retained in their account somehow. In this way they got milestone points. This was the reason why some guy here made a big noise about how Regalia Gold was better than Infinia and all that. Looks like they patched it now.

Regalia Gold was my first card, meaning the bug wasn't related to any upgrade
 
The two milestone benefits that you have mentioned 10,000 and 5,000 RP are limited to Regalia and not Regalia Gold as per my understanding. According to the current T&Cs, the milestone benefits on Regalia Gold is Rs.5000/- vouchers (Rs. 10,000 in total). Is there something that I am missing out?
Yes, you are correct we do not get RP as milestone benefits. It was available in old Regalia card but now we get vouchers.
