About This Card
The HDFC Diners Club Black rivals the Infinia in benefits but is more accessible. Unlimited lounge access, 3.3% base reward rate, and 10X on SmartBuy make it one of India's best cards. The only catch: Diners Club acceptance is limited at smaller merchants, though it's improving rapidly.
