Infinia Using Infinia card & Priority Pass at a lounge

[vishalgupta2]

All of this is really dependent on the lounge dragon. I once asked at the 080 lounge (BLR-T1) and she said they only want the card holder to be present and the card can be used for anyone.

At the T2 a few days later they declined to let a person use his card for his family (Adult), while I was allowed to use my card for my daughter (12 years) by the same person. I don't know if it was coz my daughter is minor and he was trying to use for adults or just that he ignored

At one of the Adani lounge they swiped my card thrice to allow 3 guests. She mentioned it is complimentary with the card. I am concerned hdfc does not charge for the two additional swipes.

If you used credit card, the eligibility is verified on the go and no surprises happen later.
If you used priority pass, most likely no charges but you never know if there system flags multiple swipes as guest visits, you have to wait and watch.

- Primary card holder can use either his Infinia card or PP for domestic lounge access. No charges. Although bank recommends using only PP for domestic or international.
- Add-on card holders should use only PP for both international or domestic lounges. This is what is advised by Infinia Customer Care.

The lady at the front desk was in some hurry and mentioned it is all complimentary with the card. No need to worry. I had 3 separate cards too.

It is also surprising that it never happened with someone on this forum. I guess that's how we get experiences.

yes thats what i came across in some pdf etc... thats why wanted to know the visa variant add-ons are they chargeable or not if anyone has experienced this wanted to know... bcuz pp accessibility maybe less in some places thats why ... i generally use ranchi domestic airport its a small one and i doubt if they accept pp also 😛

haha yes xD actually same card multiple swipe rarely ppl need to do bcuz they have multiple cards 🤣 like u also had 3 cards ... but the front desk person was in a hurry so she used the same card lol 🤣🤣

btw my main query was did she swipe it 3 times and u put ur pin each time or did she just swipe once? bcuz if once she must have put guest visits ;_; and did u use the infinia cc or pp?

No... Infinia add ons are not chargeable for lounge access. It is free

What is the cooling period for use of same infinia card at lounge? for ex. can i use infinia at delhi departure lounge and same card after arriving to bangalore T2 within 3 hours?

I think you can swipe it once every 3 hours at the same lounge.

At different lounges, it can swiped pretty much almost instantly so it shouldn't be a problem.
(at least it wasn't when I tried it the last time)

The T&C is not articulated properly.

In such cases it is better to rely on collective wisdom of this community and first hand experience of folks who have used the card. I am talking from my own experience and there are many more who have used Infinia add ons at lounges

I did try to swipe dcb 6 times consecutively couple of times no extra charge. Now that I upgraded to infinia. I am confused if I can do this with PP.
