Attention, credit cardholders! HDFC Bank has revised its lounge access policy for Tata Neu Infinity and Tata Neu Plus credit cardholders, effective June 10, 2025. According to the new rules, one cannot access domestic lounge access by swiping credit cards directly at lounges; lounge vouchers will instead be issued to eligible customers based on their quarterly spending milestones. This change aims to streamline benefits while encouraging higher card usage.
Spend Rs 50,000 to receive lounge vouchers
Effective June 10, 2025, the benefit of domestic lounge access will be milestone-based, and available as a lounge voucher upon spending at least Rs 50,000 in a calendar quarter. Also, cardholders should note that they can access a maximum of two complimentary domestic lounge vouchers per calendar quarter (up to eight per calendar year) for the Tata Neu Infinity HDFC Bank Credit Card, according to the bank's website.
The domestic lounge access benefit for Tata Neu Plus HDFC Bank Credit Card holders will also be milestone-based, effective June 10, 2025. These cardholders can avail one complimentary domestic lounge voucher per calendar quarter by spending Rs 50,000 or more within that quarter. A maximum of four vouchers can be availed in a calendar year.
