Got the same for Signet

Dear Customer,
Greetings from Federal Bank.
Here is an important announcement regarding the lounge benefits associated with your Federal Bank Signet Credit Card.

Effective 1st October 2025, your lounge benefits will be linked to the transactions made using your Signet Credit Card. Add-on customers will not have access to lounge benefits.

Here's how it works:
Customers need to spend INR ₹ 20,000 or more in a quarter (21st Mar - 20th Jun|21st Jun - 20th Sep|21st Sep-20th Dec|21st Dec-20th Mar), to automatically qualify for complimentary lounge privilege in the subsequent quarter (1st Jul-30th Sep|1st Oct-31st Dec|1st Jan- 31st Mar|1st Apr-30th Jun).
In case you have already visited the lounge twice in an eligible quarter utilizing the complimentary lounge access, you can still visit the lounge by paying the fee.
This change is applicable only for accessing Domestic Lounges (in India).

I too received such email yesterday that domestic lounge benefits on my Federal Imperio credit card is going to be spend based.

Got this card 10 days and now this happened..
Also i am unable to understand the logic..
More premium card highest spend criteria where as number lounge access ares same..
Ideally it should be vice versa

Federal Bank also joined the spend for lounge access bandwagon. Only few cards left in India which offer unconditional lounge access.
