HDFC Infinia Credit Card (Metal Edition)

✈ Lounge Access Available ★ 5 Reward Points per Rs.150 spent, with up to 10x via SmartBuy Premium & Luxury Travel Rewards Points & Rewards Dining & Groceries Hotel

HDFC's invite-only metal flagship for serious spenders: roughly 3.3% base value that can climb toward 33% on SmartBuy hotel and flight bookings, plus unlimited lounge access, at a Rs.12,500 annual fee (as of 2026). It only pays off above heavy spend, so if you can't push large travel volume through SmartBuy, the cheaper Regalia Gold gets you lounges for a fraction of the fee. Put Rs.5 lakh through SmartBuy at the top multiplier and the rewards dwarf the fee; spend it all at base rate and you barely break even. The 2% foreign markup is low by Indian-card standards. It's invite-only, so eligibility is the real gate, confirm current terms with HDFC directly.

⟳ Rates & fees verified June 2026 — always confirm the current terms on the issuer's official site before applying.
