A new scam seems to be happening with Zomato Gold.
Last year, I renewed my Gold membership using my HSBC credit card under a promotional offer. There were no clear terms and conditions stating that the membership benefits would be permanently tied to that specific card.
Later, I had to close my HSBC card. Now, although my Zomato Gold membership is valid until 2027, Zomato refuses to provide the Gold discount unless I pay using the same HSBC card—which no longer exists. If I use any other credit card, I'm told I need to purchase a new Gold membership to receive the discount.
This makes no sense. A Gold membership should be linked to the customer, not permanently to a specific payment card. By this logic, every time someone changes or replaces their credit card, they would have to buy a new membership just to continue using the benefits.
This policy is unfair, misleading, and feels like a way to force customers into paying for multiple memberships. I hope Zomato reviews this practice and provides a fair solution for existing Gold members.
