HDFC Regalia/Millennia/Regalia First Lounge Access Update

[bhavyegoel]

Important update on Lounge Access via HDFC Credit Cards from December 1st, 2023.
HDFC Regalia First

1. Effective December 1st, 2023, Complimentary lounge access at lounges within and outside India can no longer be availed on Regalia First Card.

HDFC Millennia

1. To Access Domestic Lounges you need to spend Rs 1 lac in a quarter.
2. The number of domestic lounge visits on HDFC Millennia reduced to 1 from 2 per quarter

HDFC Regalia

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

When we'll receive 1500 Amazon coupon for applying to hdfc credit card.
Is there any spend based condition for this?
If yes how much I need to spend.

After 90 days
500 within 30 days of card issuance

But when I check the spend promo details it shows 8000 in this quarter 🤷🏻

How to check spend based promo details 😅 ?
Could not find in netbanking / mobile app

Does anyone know when will HDFC start sending the email for availing lounge access for Millennia card holders on meeting the quarterly spend target? Their website said it will start from Dec 1 2023, but I dont see any update since then.
Dont want to end up spending this quarter and not receive the eGC!

Got confused with Regalia, for Milennia you will get SMS with portal link once your are eligible.

You'll get an SMS few days after completing the 1L milestone.

It'll same as the the SMS you get for 1000 eGV.

You can EITHER take 1000 Amazon GV OR 1 Lounge Access. NOT BOTH.

Anyone tried claiming the lounge voucher? I spent 1L and the milestone benifits are unlocked and ready to claim. But I don't know if they'll be available only for a certain duration or not.

I have a few concerns like is there a time limit for claiming the vouchers? Untill next quarter begins / 1 month / 6 month?
After claiming, do we have to use them untill a certain period?
Can someone besides us use them as they're coupons and I don't think they'll be linked to us somehow?

Update for Regalia
The vouchers are still there even after the quarter ended.
Used one voucher and it generated a Dreamfolks QR code with a validity of 1 year.
Used that voucher on Bangalore airport 080 lounge.
The lady at the front desk asked whose name is on the card and said mine (true).
Later after approval asked her if the name of the cardholder came up when she scanned the QR code and she said no and it was just a routine question.
Will be availing the second voucher and my brother will try to use it in feb. Hope it goes well

[basant]

These are milestone spends. If you spend 5L in a anniversary year ( 12 month from the month your card was issued) you get additional reward points 5-10k depending on your card.

If it's showing up in dreamfolk that should mean they are available. But I'm not completely sure

I don’t think rules have changed for business regalia. You still get 12 access in a year without even spending anything.
