The IndusInd EazyDiner Credit Card, which was once a popular option for dining lovers, will undergo significant changes starting July 15, 2025. These updates come as many Indian credit cards have seen reduced benefits. IndusInd has modified the benefits offered by the EazyDiner version, affecting features such as lounge access, movie ticket deals, reward earnings, and dining discounts. While some new features have been added, most users will likely find the overall value has decreased.

Official EazyDiner IndusInd Devaluation Notice
Increased Renewal Fee and New Renewal Benefit
Effective July 15, the annual renewal fee will rise from ₹1,999 + GST to ₹2,999 + GST. In return, the bank has added a renewal benefit: a ₹7,500 Postcard Hotels voucher. This new feature aims to offset the fee increase, but it may not be beneficial for everyone, especially those who rarely stay at upscale boutique hotels. Previously, there was no voucher, so the higher fee could be seen as a tradeoff for losing several core benefits.
Airport Lounge Access and Movie Benefits Discontinued
Two of the most popular features, domestic airport lounge access and BookMyShow movie ticket offers, will be completely removed. Previously, lounge access gave this card a premium advantage among mid-tier options, while the movie benefit added value for casual weekends. Without these features, the card focuses solely on dining, making it less versatile and less useful for travelers and entertainment lovers.
Changes in the Reward System
The reward program is getting a complete overhaul. Cardholders previously earned 10 reward points for every ₹100 spent on dining, but this benefit is being removed. Instead, users will earn 10 points per ₹100 spent on hotel and travel bookings through the EazyDiner platform. While the points rate looks appealing, the point value is decreasing from ₹0.20 to ₹0.10 per point, effectively cutting the redemption value in half. Frequent diners will see a significant drop in returns compared to before, especially if they do not often take advantage of the hotel and travel benefits.
Changes to the Dining Discount
The dining discount structure will also have stricter limits. The 25% instant discount (up to ₹1,000 per transaction) will remain, but a new cap of ₹2,000 per month is being added. To reach a higher cap of ₹5,000 per month, users need to spend at least ₹30,000 on non-dining expenses in the previous month. This change shifts the card toward a higher spending profile, steering it away from its previous appeal of “no strings attached” dining benefits. Casual diners or those who mainly use the card for food will find this change challenging, especially if they can’t meet the monthly spending requirement. For example, to receive a higher discount cap in July, your non-dining spending from June 1 to June 30, 2025, will be reviewed.
| Non-Dining Spend in Previous Month | Max Discount Eligible in Current Month |
|---|---|
| ₹3,000 | ₹2,000 |
| ₹25,000 | ₹2,000 |
| ₹29,000 | ₹2,000 |
| ₹32,000 | ₹5,000 |
| ₹35,000 | ₹5,000 |
Bottom Line
The upcoming changes to the IndusInd EazyDiner Credit Card signal a reduction in value, especially for those who enjoyed the lounge access, movie perks, and generous dining rewards. Although the new hotel voucher offers some value, it doesn’t make up for the loss of lifestyle features and the decrease in reward value. The new dining caps also create conditions that may not fit all user types. As the fee goes up, users should reevaluate their card use and decide if the benefits still match their spending habits or if they should explore better options.
