Is HDFC Bank DCB is accepted at new BLR 080 lounge?

[Arvind]

I checked the list on diners club website and found the name of the new international 080 lounge on the list. Has anyone recently tried to visit that?

Not all Visa Signature/Infinite are accepted for complementary lounge access, as this depends on Issuer bank

Example :

ICICI - the lounge access in Bangalore as per latest update. 080 Lounge not listed here. So, Lounge access is not possible , even with Premium card like Emerald

HDFC : 080 not listed in their new update (which applicable for Aug 13). So, the access to 080 is not possible using card like Inifinia

I'm talking explicitly about 080 INTERNATIONAL lounge. Even if you find a Visa card where it shows that you can access the 080 INTERNATIONAL lounge, they will flat out refuse to accept it and will direct you towards the BLR lounge.

the access to 080 is not possible using card like Inifinia

Infinia comes with unlimited domestic and international lounge access through Priority Pass. You don't need to use the card for lounge access.

Maybe as you said something fishy might be going on there. They might be deliberately refusing people.

Didn't work 2 months back at least.

Did you check with customer care for this stating that its mentioned in the list and the lounge is not allowing?

If you use PP/LK, then it is different story.. Here, I'm talking about the lounge access using Visa/master cards

I got access to 080 lounge using Niyo Global card by SBM. It's a 0 balance account. They're currently accepting some Visa Signature cards too. Went there on 6 Aug

@Harry1 They might be allowing visa signature now.

Nop, BOB cc is shit. Besides I had some other visa signature cards also. Even they weren't accepted. I had some other cards - AU zenith and Axis priority debit card, which worked. So didn't care much.

You mean visa signature debit card or credit cards also?

I think it may be a visa signature debit.

Maybe in future, if i get a change to check out the 080 lounge with check with bob card, even check with customer care on it if they refuse it.

I visited the 080 domestic lounge using IndusInd Legend credit card (visa signature) in the last week of May 2022

I was in the line to get into the BLR lounge (opp 080), then the receptionist asked me to go to the 080 lounge

I visited the 080 domestic lounge using IndusInd Legend credit card (visa signature)

I guess they are allowing now visa signature cards from specific banks.
