In 2023, HDFC Bank added many new transfer partners to its premium credit cards, HDFC Bank Infinia and HDFC Bank Diners Club Black.

HDFC Bank adds the 15th transfer partner.

After a year-long consistent run of having several transfer partners, HDFC Bank Credit Cards has onboarded its 15th transfer partner, homegrown ITC Hotels. Today, the fifteenth transfer partner went live. As you will note below, a conversion to Club ITC will be priced at two HDFC Bank Reward Points = 1 Club ITC Green Point for the Infinia and Diners Club Black.

And it could not be very significant, but HDFC Bank has also added SpiceJet Spice Club as a transfer partner. Here is a screen grab of the new transfer page that has been activated by HDFC Bank (although it is via their third-party partner Rewards360, so it works on an external site).

Here is the complete partners’ list and the transfer ratios:

Airlines

• Star Alliance
  • Air Canada Aeroplan: 1 HDFC Bank Reward Point = 0.5 Aeroplan Miles
  • Avianca LifeMiles: 1 HDFC Bank Reward Point = 0.5 LifeMile
  • Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles: 1 HDFC Bank Reward Point = 0.5 Turkish Airlines Miles & Smiles
  • United MileagePlus Miles:1 HDFC Bank Reward Point = 0.5 MileagePlus Mile
• oneworld Alliance
  • British Airways Avios: 1 HDFC Bank Reward Point = 0.5 Avios
  • Finnair Plus: 1 HDFC Bank Reward Point = 1 Finnair Plus Point
• SkyTeam Alliance
  • KLM/Air France Flying Blue: 1 HDFC Bank Reward Point = 1 Flying Blue Mile
  • Vietnam Airlines LotusMiles: 1 HDFC Bank Reward Point = 1 LotusMiles
• Others
  • AirAsia Rewards: 1 HDFC Bank Reward Point = 1 AirAsia Point
  • Etihad Guest: 1 HDFC Bank Reward Point = 0.5 Etihad Guest Points
  • Hainan Airlines Fortune Wings Club: 1 HDFC Bank Reward Point = 1 Fortune Wings Club Point
  • Spicejet: 1 HDFC Bank Reward Point = 1 Spice Club Point

Hotels

• Accor ALL: 1 HDFC Bank Reward Point = 0.5 ALL Point
• IHG One: 1 HDFC Bank Reward Point = 1 IHG One Point
• Wyndham Rewards: 1 HDFC Bank Reward Point = 1 Wyndham Rewards Point
• Club ITC: 1 HDFC Bank Reward Point = 0.5 Green Point

If you are interested in Vistara, Singapore Airlines, and InterMiles transfers, those are still available through the older route of logging into Net Banking and initiating a transfer.

With this move, HDFC Bank Credit Cards has added yet another prominent and much-in-demand transfer partner for the Indian affluent population. This is an indication of their intent and the long-drawn thought process HDFC Bank puts into negotiations before expanding their ambit.

Bottomline

HDFC Bank Credit Cards brought their 15th new transfer partner in Club ITC and added Spicejet SpiceClub as well, as a transfer partner. Existing partnerships with Singapore Airlines, Vistara, and InterMiles continue (although they are direct partnerships, and these are via their partner, Rewards360). The transfers are now live for Infinia and Diners Club Black.

What do you make of ITC Hotels’ Club ITC being added to HDFC Bank’s Infinia and Diners Club Black Credit Cards?
