Frequently Asked Questions
Should I get Regalia or Regalia Gold?
Regalia Gold is the newer, upgraded version with Boarding Edge Program, Swiggy One + MMT Black, and quarterly vouchers. If you value these benefits, Gold is better. Classic Regalia has broader lounge access (12/year fixed vs spend-gated) — useful if you can't always meet the quarterly spend threshold.
Can I transfer Regalia points to airline miles?
Yes — HDFC Reward Points transfer to InterMiles, Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer, and other partners via SmartBuy at 1:1 ratio. Best redemption value is ₹1/RP for airline miles.
