HDFC Diners Club Black Metal Credit Card

✈ Lounge Access Available ★ 5 Reward Points per Rs.150, up to 10X on SmartBuy Premium & Luxury Travel Rewards Points & Rewards Dining & Groceries

A premium metal card on the Diners Club network with the same roughly 3.3% base and up-to-33% SmartBuy ceiling as the Infinia, but its signature draw is the bundle of free memberships like Swiggy One and Times Prime on hitting the spend target, at a Rs.10,000 fee. The Diners network is the catch: acceptance is thinner than Visa or Mastercard, especially abroad and at smaller Indian merchants, so it's a poor sole card if you travel widely. If you'll actually use those memberships, they can offset much of the fee on their own; if not, the Infinia or Regalia Gold suits you better. The 2% foreign markup is competitive. Confirm milestone terms with HDFC.
