I don't think it was misused. Most of the cardholders here did not used in their respective quarter even myself I did not used this a single time. I just applied the card because my account scheme was super savings.

I have mostly used in all quarters except 1-2, but its not like people misused by using this facility multiple times in quarter. I don't understand how it was misused.

The card wasn’t misused—it just never proved beneficial for the bank. It costs ₹750 annually, while a single trip from Central Bengaluru to the airport typically costs around ₹1200 at night. The minimum average balance requirement is quite modest at ₹15,000. Even a single airport trip is enough to offset the annual fee. Plus, it offers access to a wide range of lounges, including the T2 Arrival Lounge—where even most super-premium Visa or Mastercards aren't accepted (unless you use Priority Pass).

I have not received mail or SMS saying it has been discontinued. Any link for the updated terms?

Since BoB World Sapphire discontinued airport transfer program and Opulance doesn't seem value for money, I am thinking about BoB EMT Rupay debit card. Although it will not give airport transfer, but it has 2 international lounge per year. But I am unsure how does it work. Anyone using BoB EMT Rupay, please tell me how does it work and your experience.

If using internationally, enable online international transactions (very important).

Tell the lounge agent that it has priority pass inbuilt into it. They'll check boarding pass and match name with the name printed on card.

No PIN entry needed. It'll work if international online (ecom) transactions are ON.

Any spend based criteria? Since in the bob page it is not mentioned.
