About HDFC Diners Club Black Metal Edition Credit Card
The HDFC Diners Club Black Credit Card is one of the most prestigious premium cards in India and a strong alternative to the invite-only HDFC Infinia Credit Card. While it offers benefits across lifestyle, dining, golf, and shopping, its core strength lies in travel privileges.
With a flat 3.33% reward rate on all spends and up to 33% back on HDFC SmartBuy portal purchases, it surpasses many premium competitors such as Axis Magnus and ICICI Emeralde Private. The 1:1 redemption ratio for flight and hotel bookings, as well as seamless point-to-mile conversion, make it especially rewarding for frequent flyers. Adding to its appeal are unlimited international lounge access for both primary and add-on members, a low forex mark-up, and unmatched travel benefits that make this card ideal for global travellers.
You are a frequent traveller who wants to save significantly on flight and hotel bookings.
You prefer all-in-one premium benefits (travel, dining, golf, lifestyle) on a single card rather than juggling multiple cards.
You can spend ₹80,000+ per month to unlock the monthly milestone vouchers.
