After HDFC removed the Vistara Silver benefit from the HDFC Regalia card effective March 15, 2019, the bank introduced a complimentary Zomato Gold membership as a replacement.
HDFC Regalia cardholders who were issued the card on or after March 20, 2019, and who spend Rs. 75,000 within the first 90 days from card activation are eligible to receive this complimentary Zomato Gold membership.
Zomato Gold Benefits
Zomato Gold provides a simple buy-one-get-one style benefit, with participating partners classified as food or drinks outlets.
- Food partners typically offer one complimentary dish with a qualifying main course.
- Drinks partners generally provide up to two complimentary drinks per visit.
- Each partner is tagged to show whether the offer applies to food or drinks, helping you identify qualifying outlets.
- Regalia cardholders who meet the eligibility criteria receive a one-year unlimited Zomato Gold membership.
- Full terms and conditions are provided by HDFC Bank.
Bottomline
For most Regalia users, the Zomato Gold membership is a meaningful addition to the card’s benefits and, for dining enthusiasts, can offer good value—arguably more practical for regular spenders than the former Vistara Silver perk.
If you already have an active Zomato Gold membership, the new offering may feel redundant, but it is aimed at new Regalia cardholders who qualify under the stated spend criteria.
