Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Boarding Edge Program?
It gives you 2 complimentary services per calendar quarter when you upload your boarding pass on SmartBuy: choose any 2 from Spa access, Buffet/meal, Hotel room upgrade near airport, or Airport transfer. Worth ₹1,000–₹2,000 per quarter in value.
Is the lounge access truly 3 visits per quarter?
Yes — 3 domestic lounge visits per quarter (12/year) provided you spend ₹60,000+ in the preceding quarter. From Jan 2025, HDFC applies this spend-gate on Regalia Gold. If quarterly spend is below ₹60K, no lounge access that quarter.
