Infinia HDFC Infinia Priority Pass Charged for Access in Domestic Indian Airports[As of 29th July 2025,No one got charged]

[nikhilesh71]

If you are willing to take this risk & have time for all these fight via RBI ombudsman, then you can still swipe PP.

Do you really think rich folks with Infinia will fight for $27?

90% infinia holders are certainly not rich, they are just high spenders with moderate income as far as i have seen. 10-20 lakhs

Now it's diffcult to get the card but 1 - 1.5 yrs back it was given to everyone asking or having 4-5 lakh spends in 6 months.

Hdfc will get bombarded with rbi complains if they remove this without prior intimation.

it takes time can be charged anytime till 3 months are not over .. after 3 months if they didn't charge means ur safe

I spoke with the Infinia support team, and they confirmed that Priority Pass usage for domestic lounges is free. Support team: "If you are still charged on your card, please contact us, and we will process the reversal".

Initially they used to mention 'Within India and Outside', now they are mentioning only 'outside India'!
Seems for domestic use, they can charge!

So part A of this doc says card is accepted at domestic lounges only for primary holder right so add ons will not be acceptable henceforth, is it ?

The biggest problem with PP is that the lounges can't tell you if you will be charged or not like they can for credit cards. Everytime i use PP, the lounge tells me that they don't know if the visit is complimentary or chargeable

Exactly! That's why it's best to skip and stick to using the thread to avoid surprises later.

Hdfc is going to make some money, there will be good chunk of people still swiping PP instead of infinia domestic lounges. Hdfc might charge them anytime in 3 months period.

It will sure be a PR disaster.

 

[IKFLRT]

if you mail Infinia support team for making your card lifetime free, they'll reply within an hour. For critical emails they'll never reply. 😂😂

 

[Joh]

I confirmed on call. Have also mailed them. Let's see.

Hi,

Any e-mail from HDFC on this?

Did this post have a different title before? It's a Sunday morning, I was feeling relaxed and woke up late today. I was still half awake and was going through google news and this article popped up. "Infinia Priority Pass Devaluation" was the title which my half awake brain registered as "Infinia Devaluation" 😭 I'm not lying it scared the bejesus out of me and I almost thought my day was ruined. I was not expecting it at all and it came out of the blue and am fully awake now. Please be wary of using such titles for a few cards like this one in future 😅 and if such devaluation does happen, I'd say let's reveal it in a phased manner to reduce the amount of shock for the weak-hearted.

Mods clubbed 2 threads. Wrong move IMO.

Me who didn't get notification after the merger. Even though I am watching this thread, I didn't get notification so I guess I have to comment here now.

At HDFC website too, now PP usage will be chargeable in India for Infinia too. However no communication from bank till now.

1) 7 March 2025
2) you will get charged $27

Point 2 isn’t confirmed, please refrain from posting unconfirmed info.

I had called CC yesterday for another matter so got this checked as well. No change in policy as per them, but it’s always possible they may be uninformed as well.

Nowhere does this explicitly say it will be chargeable like it does on the Regalia product page.

Unless it is stated clearly that PP will be chargeable in domestic lounges, how can we believe it?

If you check the thread linked 3-4 post above, you will see that the OP got charged for using Infinia PP domestically.
