Banks removing Lounge benefits from non-premium cards

VIP Lounge
Banks now want you to pay(indirectly) for lounge access by paying a card fee.

As per the report banks now want to focus on premium cards for lounge access since their costs have now increased. That is something you can see whenever you go to a lounge. People get 10-15 cards and get in from whichever card they have a balance. This might not be possible.

Cost cutting has hit Banks as well now.

 
Yes, from last one months, I am reading this kind of news and every bank is now reducing the number of lounge access list.
 
I believe the lounge access should be more digital, there should be separate queue for those with QR codes, rest of them who rely on the physical cards (with lots of them unaware if their card has access, OR are trying their luck) should have a queue as usual!
Dreamfolks implementation of QR is good and it's very easy to share lounge accesses with friends and family

You're talking about BOM Adani lounge?
 
This is how it was before. Mostly only premium/super premium cards got lounge access. Most banks went aggressive by introducing such perks to capture market share. Of course, it wasn't going to be feasible in the long run. Hopefully, with a lesser crowd to deal with, the lounges can put focus on their quality and service parameters.
