HDFC and Axis move is logical considering there market share is good, even for ICICI and SbI card....but these Chindi Chor banks (Yes Bank, Indusind, Kotak), enka combined market share Axis ke barabar hoga 🤣🤣 fir bhi itne nakhreHDFC was the first one to come up with ridiculous spend criteria for lounge access (1L on Millennia), ICICI bank followed suit with 35k as well
Now every bank thinks that it's such a great idea ,Axis took it a bit too far with putying it on Magnus as well
I reckon we'll see others such as IDFC ,Scapia etc to increase their spend criteria as well ,not that i want it
Also as far as Yes is concerned, did not expect this on Marquee ,for a card with 10k joining and 5k annual ,it's a expected to give out lounge access wothout conditions attached
I think SC Ultimate had it long before anyone else. If I remember correctly, the criteria was 1 free lounge visit/month on priority pass provided you had spent 20k in the previous month. Was applicable for both main and add on card.HDFC was the first one to come up with ridiculous spend criteria for lounge access (1L on Millennia), ICICI bank followed suit with 35k as well

There is a huge confusion whether marquee is excluded from this criteria or not. Did you manage to get this information in writing over email from them?Yes cards (except Marquee) have a 35000 spend requirement for domestic lounge axis.
But is there any spend requirement for 6 free International lounge access for Yes First Business card?
In the notice regarding the 35000 spend criteria for domestic Lounge access, other Yes Bank cards including Reserv are mentioned, but Marquee is not mentioned.There is a huge confusion whether marquee is excluded from this criteria or not.

I haven’t seen anywhere mentioning marquee is excluded from this. Also they haven’t mentioned this criteria in marquee product page.
Could you please share any screenshot or link of that notice?In the notice regarding the 35000 spend criteria for domestic Lounge access, other Yes Bank cards including Reserv are mentioned, but Marquee is not mentioned.
