2% 6E Reward points on Groceries, movies is better than most of the credit cards in this category, but as a travel card, we were expecting atleast 1 or 2 complimentary lounge excess each year.

HDFC Bank is currently issuing only one credit card per customer but considering this as a co-brand card, the bank may issue this card on case to case basis, which depends on your relationship with the bank.
