You can now transfer your HDFC Bank Credit Card reward points to its various partners. Earlier, there were only 3 airline partners where you could transfer your HDFC Bank's reward points, but now you can transfer to 11 airlines and 3 hotel loyalty programmes.
This new transfer partner system is available to HDFC Infinia, Diners Club Black and Regalia Gold card holders only.

Let's check out the new partners:

The old transfer system is still available, so you can transfer your HDFC bank reward points to Singapore Airlines (KrisFlyer), Air Vistara (CV Points), and Intermiles if you want.
The Airmiles game is becoming very interesting and competitive in India, which is really good for us. I'll make a detailed comparison video of HDFC Infinia/DCB transfer partners and Axis Bank Magnus/Reserve transfer partners.

Now Lets check how to transfer your Infinia/DCB reward points to new partners-

Is the points redemption limit of 75,000 (DCB) and 150,000 (Infinia) per month being enforced for this too?

So, HDFC adds new partners and the first questions that go through our minds are about limits and redemption charges etc! How the mighty have fallen ...
Btw, that ALL point transfer looks most rewarding. 2000 ALL points = 40 Euros.

How did you calculate to 40 Euros?

Accor Live Limitless is the best value for money, given Axis does not provide a way to swap points to ALL, it's a no-brainer for people with both DCB/Infinia and Magnus/Reserve?

Axis Magnus/Reserve- for airmiles (flight) & HDFC Infinia/DCB - for Accor (hotel stay) :D

Yes 😃 Roughly 1:1.6 conversion for ALL (Accor) with infinia, which is 5.4% approx ,which is amazing given the exclusivity for Accor hotel redemption to.
Finally HDFC strikes back after Axis dominated 2022.

Accor points can be used for all hotel redemptions like booking normal revenue room or no of rooms/hotels are limited?

And at 2000 points = 40 euro, one point is almost 1.8 and not 1.6

Assuming Bill has to be settled with Accor points at the hotel, does Accor allow room booking on the website without making any payment?
Generally most hotels need credit card for guarantee booking and they will charge only if cancelled beyond the free cancellation time or no show. If you check in the hotel, you will be paying normally at the end of stay and do not have to use the card that you used to book. It can be any other method too. So if that Accor hotel accepts paying through the points, you can pay

Although they have mentioned 120 hours for accor, points in accor are being reflected next day itself and you can redeem them in the multiples of 2000 points.
