HDFC Bank's New Lounge Access: Spend Rs 10,000 for Digital Voucher Entry

• HDFC Bank introduces new lounge access rules requiring a minimum spend of Rs 10,000 per quarter to obtain a digital voucher.
• Spending can be cumulative, online or offline, but excludes ATM withdrawals, UPI/wallet payments, credit card bill payments, and debit card EMIs.
• Complimentary lounge visits vary by debit card type: Millennia (1/quarter), Platinum (2), Times Points (1), Business (2), GIGA (1), Infinity (4).
• Physical debit card swipes for lounge access are replaced by a digital voucher system, requiring OTP verification via SMS/email.
• Vouchers are valid until the end of the next quarter, and lounge access remains first-come, first-served with management reserving denial rights.

Why It Matters: HDFC Bank mandates Rs 10,000 quarterly spend for digital lounge access vouchers, shifting from physical card swipes.
