HDFC Regalia First Credit Card lounge access discontinued

We have an important update regarding the airport lounge access feature on your HDFC Bank Regalia Credit Card. Effective 1st December 2023, your lounge feature will be linked to your Card transactions.

Here's how it works:

1. Spend Rs.1 Lac or more every calendar quarter using your Card
2. Opt for 2 complimentary airport lounge access vouchers as Quarterly Milestone Benefit. Click here for details
3. Use your voucher at the airport lounge directly, instead of swiping your Card

Another day.....Another card devaluation 🥲

HDFC is pushing their HDFC Bank Regalia Credit Card user to go for Regalia Gold Credit Card, which is paid.

So this is not just for regalia first i got msg for regalia

Regalia is useless for domestic lounge access now. Any other recommendations

after this which bank card variants are having no condition attached lounge access?

For the first time ever I took lounge access last week at Delhi airport and now it'll be discontinued on the only card I have with lounge access.

I had Airtel Axis shown in my Airtel Thanks app but on clicking the same it is giving 'unable to proceed, please check after some months' error, though there is a banner in my app since quite sometime now and I keep getting messages as well. Whom should I contact for the same?

Does this also applies to regalia business card???

I have regelia gold .. saved.

I already stopped used this card and moved to AU LIT

When does free international lounge access stop working for regalia LTF card. April 2024 ? After the first' quarter.

waiting for My regalia LTF card upgrade since eternity
