About HDFC Diners Club Privilege Credit Card

The HDFC Diners Club Privilege Credit Card is designed for individuals seeking lifestyle benefits across everyday categories such as dining, shopping, and entertainment. Cardholders can enjoy accelerated rewards on popular brands like Zomato and Swiggy, quarterly milestone perks from Decathlon and Marriott, and a Buy One, Get One Free offer on BookMyShow. Additionally, the card provides up to 10X rewards on SmartBuy, translating to a reward rate of up to 13.33% on accelerated spends and a base rate of 1.33%.

On the flip side, when compared to HDFC Regalia Gold, it falls short in certain premium aspects such as a lower forex markup fee, higher overall reward rate, air mile redemption options, and more frequent lounge access. Hence, while it delivers solid lifestyle benefits, it doesn’t fully match the premium positioning of Regalia Gold at a comparable cost.

The HDFC Premium Travel Credit Card comes with an annual fee of Rs. 1,000, which can be waived off upon achieving milestone spends, making it a rewarding choice for frequent travelers.
