2. The number of domestic lounge visits on HDFC Millennia reduced to 1 from 2 per quarter

1. To Access Domestic Lounges you need to spend Rs 1 lac in a quarter.
2. No condition is applicable for International Lounge access using PP issued with HDFC Regalia

Now that the millenia lounge access hype is gone, is it better to have dinner millennia or should I flip it to visa or rupay?

Visa is better any time. Plus you get 1 year Times Prime free 🙂

I see so visa it is

If you don't have any other rupay card and don't intend to get one you can consider the platform for UPI compatibility.

Rupay not available for millennia card

I heard people were discussing about rupay millenia earlier this year?

Yeah discussed , but no one claimed that he/she holding rupay millennia credit card.
If we have that , then 1L per quarter become more easy .

I see, so rupay millenia is just a myth for now

Not considering DCP at all?

I'm actually thinking to get LTF DCP in place of Millennia. Won't be spending 1L ever on this, have other cards. DCP has golf/bogo offers without any spend criteria

I am open to ideas. Hence the thread. But most people seem to swing RG or M.
Do share your PoV.

For HDFC it's an Upgrade in terms of increasing their profit per card 😂

What is Upgraded MILLENNIA credit card?

which card do you hold currently?

 

[SpiesCan'tCatchMe]

Millennia Devaluation - Yes

No no not the devaluation but the upgraded millenia thing

 

[RishiKiDev]

No no not the devaluation but the upgraded millenia thing

Most probably the "upgraded" word refers to the credit card upgrade offer @RAMDV is getting on his current HDFC credit card.
