Now it's far better to keep our self-respect with ourselves and pay for the lounge access.

Not what;s wrong with HDFC these days seems they don;t be part of CC game
Or are they recovering losses made from merger

Now, they'll start issuing Millenia LTF I guess. Because they're making us spend 1L for just Lounge Access and Fee Waiver is also 1L. 🤣

Worst than DCP devaluation for lounge access. 🤣🤣

Actually, just avoid HDFC with this. Get any other card like from ICICI or IDFC which gives Lounge Access with ₹5000/quarter spends if you can't do 1L/Quarter. It's not like HDFC is the only CC issuer 😀

DCB plastic next, maybe?

Basically all the LTF cards they distributed like candies.

Who knows bro? IDFC has been issuing LTF cards. They might increase spend criteria

While it’s a bit disappointing actually it’s also a good move. With close to 50% share since they’re devaluing on lounge access probably we will get to see less crowded lounges. Moreover it’s not sustainable to give lounge access at annual fee less than 6000 INR .

During Diwali times
Earlier:
Spend 1L and get rewarded with 5K voucher
Now:
Spend 1L and get access to the lounge 🤣
