Hi Guys, Just like to mention a few updates regarding DCB Cards.
1) Swiggy Dineout payments made by card now gets categorized as “grocery Payments” because of the change in MCC by Swiggy. So this means, payments made for dining via Dineout on weekend won’t be eligible for 2x reward points that one would otherwise get!!
2) HDFC has now Started issuing ADD ON CARDS with Different card numbers(Different than primary). I enquired this myself & CC department knows about it, although branch personnel don’t!!
ADD ON CARDS issued from Feb this year would automatically be issued with numbers different than the primary card.
For those like myself. who have Add on cards issued earlier than that, will have to go thru the following steps to get new add on cards.
1) Go to the branch and fill up the form for Add on card closure. Name/details of add on card holder will be required.
2) Do not mention any details of primary card holder on that form(it’s not required)
3) Do not raise the add on card closure request online, I was specifically asked to raise this request offline only.
4) It’ll take upto 7 working days for card closure request to be completed.
5) Once you get the intimation, call & confirm that Add on cards as closed for good.
6) After this, only & only after step 5, You can raise a request for new add on cards Online/offline as per your preference.
P.S. It’s possible that in step 1 above branch personnel may not be aware of add on card closure form, in that case simply connect your RM or HDFC Premium CC Support team to the branch personnel.
With this hopefully, the simultaneous lounge access issue for add on/primary card holders will be resolved for good. Rest of the features don’t change one bit.
