DCB International Lounge Access Using DCB

I didn't set addon card pin thinking 12 digit card no. and CVV numbers are identical so primary card's pin will work also for addon cards.
No PIN is different for primary and addon. Call customer care and they will give you a green PIN(OTP). You need to visit hdfc atm and change the password from there for addon cards.
Diners Cards don't need separate Priority Pass or Dreamfolks. The card is itself more than enough!
Does the pos show any specific amount to know before entering PIN, if the access is complimentary or not?
Check the Diners website for the list of lounges. While Diners has unlimited lounge access, it is not accepted in all international lounges.
It asks for the number of guests. Enter 0 in both cards separately. There is no amount shown before entering the pin. Wasn't charged anything unlike Rs 2 in India. May vary by lounge though.
You can also request PIN for addon card to be sent through post from your netbanking. It takes 4-5 days to be delivered depending on your location.
Fastest way is using the OTP in HDFC ATM though
Does it show 0 as amount or no amount at all? If no amount is shown, how can we conform if it's complimentary or not?

DCB is ALWAYS complimentary. So there's no question of fees unless you're guesting.
In any case like with Priority Pass the lounge is not billing $0 for your access. So it will be very wrong for them to say the access charge is 0. It is your responsibility (just like with PP) to confirm the charges with your service provider.
I haven't used DCB for lounge access for a really really long time. However, if I remember correctly (and I rarely do) they used special POS machines and PIN wasn't required for international access in the US.

They can't verify name on the card with tap and pay or if the card is being used around willy nilly. They rightfully deny it.
Tap and pay does work on digital PP and the new PP POS machines. But they also show everything that the lounge needs to to allow entry.
Last month experience of my wife who has diners add on in Dubai and Frankfurt airport. You just have to swipe and there is not amount shown and entry will be allowed.
If you have a guest, then they will add a guest as +1 and will be charged depending on lounge. My son who went with my wife as guest was charged 30 USD in Dubai lounge. Please note it is not pos transaction though you swipe it. No pin needed. It will be considered a online transaction and you should have enabled international online usage. If not it will be declined.
It didn't show any amount at all. The lounge was mentioned as complimentary in the Diners website so confidently entered my PIN. That is the only way to confirm I guess. There has been no charges.
