Think so. No one will pay Rs 800 + GST only for lounge access. But it actually has good number lounges like BLR 080 T2 Arrival Lounge.

To be fair it's like the idfc debit card

Has a lot of lounge access in small places but not worth the annual fees

What about opulence DC?

What about opulence DC?

Opulence isn’t beneficial. Fee 10K. 8 airport transfer. Per trip 1250/- which is obvious. Also you have to deposit 10L as MAB.

That’s good but I am saying Rs10K isn’t justified. You paid for the service. Except Lounges no other benefits the card is providing. Unless you get if without any fee, this card doesn’t make any sense.
