How to Use Lounge Access Vouchers?​

  2. Visit the Regalia SmartBuy page to generate your lounge access vouchers.
  3. Receive the voucher via SMS/Email.
  4. Open the E-voucher in PDF format, containing a QR code to be scanned at the lounge terminal.

HDFC Regalia Credit Card Lounge Access Outside India​

  • Lounge access outside India using Priority Pass is now independent of spends. Apply for a Priority Pass for yourself and add-on members after completing a minimum of 4 retail transactions on your HDFC Bank Regalia Credit Card. Enjoy up to 6 Complimentary Lounge Access visits per calendar year, outside India, with your Priority Pass.
  • If you exceed the 6 complimentary visits, a charge of US $27 + GST per visit will be applicable.

Important Points to Note​

  • When using Priority Pass in India and bringing guests, charges will appear on your Credit Card.
  • Going over the complimentary visit limit will result in a charge of US $27 plus GST per visit.
  • Lounge access charges will be billed on your statement after the visit.
  • Currency conversion rates will apply, determined by the exchange rate on the day of billing.
This strategic move by HDFC Bank aims to elevate the travel experience for Regalia Credit Cardholders, offering more benefits with their spending.
