On MyCards also. I’ll assert my dominance too and continue to use PP wherever Amex Platinum or Infinia itself aren’t accepted.

Yes...
My post was sarcastic, i too know nothing has changed but people here are obsessed with sending mails to hdfc and escalating a non issue
Which might backfire but people are still sending mails sabar hi nahi hai logo ko
Travelled from Guwahati to T3 today. I noticed at least two persons using their Infinia PP alongwith the Infinia card itself at Guwahati for guests or family visits.
At T3 Arrival Lounge again, fellows with Infinia PP rocking it

Just curious, how did you know its infinia PP?
The card number has no breaks
Why are people still calling & emailing cust care. Already someone on here has posted that people higher up the chain itself have given confirmation that PP is free for domestic use as of now and there are no changes.
It just seems you guys want them to devlaue this
MODS, can you please mark the above as solution ? the thread is getting longer for no reason when we already have an answer. It is just causing confusion and more people to reachout to support which is obviously not in our favor, more requests may actually have them devalue this feature.

There's no confirmation from nobody that PP is free if used domesticallyWhy are people still calling & emailing cust care. Already someone on here has posted that people higher up the chain itself have given confirmation that PP is free for domestic use as of now and there are no changes.

Can you atleast go and read the post I have linked?
Can you quote the text you want me to read?
That's from MITC where generic statement was made mentioning unlimited lounge access for PP holders. SO there are 2 things here - Firstly there's no clear confirmation on this. If you speak to customer care, they will talk about the charges being levied if PP used domestically, MITC has a generic statement and SmartBuy portal is not in sync with the Infinia page on HDFC portal.
Secondly, since it's all open to our interpretations - I feel, we can still use PP domestically based on my discussion with an escalation manager. Also, they haven't clearly specified that using PP at domestic airports will incur charges (unlike other HDFC card)
The point is - there's no confirmation either ways from the bank but the fact is that they have changed their page and modified the lounge pdf clearly shows that they are discouraging us to use PP domestically. Now whether or not charges will be levied will be known to the users only after bank's confirmation or 2-3 months after the PP usage.
I am not even gonna argue with you.
They have clearly mentioned confirmation from BH & ZBH. Seems you just wanna keep the thread going for longer than it needs to be.
No such intentions, my friend. Keep it going won't help me. My points were clear. There's no confirmation either ways from the bank in black & white while you insist on something while could be misleading for many.
This is with reference to your e-mail dated March 19, 2025 regarding Priority Pass.
For Lounge visits within India, you have to use Infinia credit card.

We would like to clarify that charges will not be applicable if already priority passes are used.
As per revised Terms and Conditions, Priority Pass can be used in outside India only.
1 - this is what they replied to me. now they haven't mentioned that charges will be applicable on PP domestic usage. Also they mention that if PP is already used, no charges will be charged. Now since they haven't specified any date till which no charges will be there, I think if we even use it, no charges will be applicable.
2 - I am not sure if HDFC will even know if the visit was domestic or international, since the PP allows access to both. Until they change the membership category, and remove domestic lounges from our memberships like other banks, I don't think it will be charged.
there are no cases till now where it's charged for infinia users.
Also even if it happens they will revert it. Regalia gold pp comes with sticket to not use in india while infinia comes with none.
Neither its mentioned anywhere that it will be charged inside india unlike other cards where it's mentioned.
Keep using it guys.
Isn’t it clear that no further discussion amongst ourselves is going to resolve this stalemate? It’s all on HDFC, and they obviously have been cagey about this whole affair. But our best read of the situation is, they would prefer we use the card itself wherever possible at domestic lounges, and reserve PP mainly for international lounges, but both remain free to use for domestic use. Beyond this, they won’t say anything to encourage widespread PP domestic use, and let’s leave it at that.
This long thread should ideally end here. But if God forbid anyone gets charged for a legit use of Infinia at a domestic lounge, that will be the only sign that something has actually changed in their policy, and that’s when we can resume this discussion elsewhere.

As much as I'd like this to be true, I think we have received conflicting information from multiple sources, and some people have been charged previously (which is why this whole thread was started). My humble opinion would be to keep this thread going for another 2-3 months -- give time for PP charges (if any) to be posted to the statement for people who have used PP domestically recently (including me). We can stop the discussion until someone has a confirmation either way.
the case of being charged was bcuz guest visit was put by the lounge ppl ... till now other than that no one has been charged for normal usage ... 7th march changes ppl found so post this 3 months ~ we can know is it really changed or not... till then there is no concrete proof that pp is chargeable or not...
No one has been charged for PP vists yet. That was a case of guest being added which did result in reversal of charges regardless AFAIR
yes 50% ~ charges were reversed
