Regalia me hai spend based. Regalia gold as of now is providing non spend based lounge access bhai.
I saw regalia gold owners charged fees for domestic lounge where people denied for charges. But lounge machines show charges for this card and customers walk out.

What about any Yes bank card like their best card Yes Private?
 
The HDFC Regalia Gold Credit Card provides 2 or 4/qtr complimentary domestic lounge access, but it has a spend-based structure:

1. Base Benefit: Two complimentary domestic lounge visits per quarter.

2. Additional Access: Earn two extra lounge visits in the subsequent quarter by spending ₹1.5 lakh in the current calendar quarter.

I saw regalia gold owners charged fees for domestic lounge where people denied for charges. But lounge machines show charges for this card and customers walk out.
 
Oh that's intresting. Don't think any other bank has curbed Lounge access this way. It's good for occasional fliers and stops overuse of the benefit.

Thanks for updating @drsel

  1. Domestic Airport Lounge: Tata Neu Infinity HDFC Bank Credit Card (2/Q) + IndusInd Signature Legend Visa Credit Card (1/Q) + IDFC FIRST Platinum Debit Card (1/Q)

Among these which are LTF Cards (like IndusInd Tiger CC)? Cards like Yes Bank Private CC are of super-premium category with very high fees.
 
From 20 April --
Atlas has no spend requirement for both domestic and international lounge access.
Use Atlas card directly at Dreamfolks lounges (no Priority pass required)

Other Axis cards with Priority pass-- no spend requirement only for international lounge access using Priority pass.
For domestic lounge access you need to spend 50000 in the previous three months
What if you are not Silver Tier i.e., haven't spend 3L for the preceding year?

n.b. For the first year, you are automatically in Silver Tier. Don't consider that.
 
As the title says, looking for credit cards that provide lounge access without monthly or quarterly spend criteria. Bonus if the card is LTF.
IndusInd Cards .... Celesta, Eazy Dinner
Federal Bank ........ Celesta and Imperio
ICICI ........ Emerald
Canara Bank .... Rupay Select and World Master Card
 
What if you are not Silver Tier i.e., haven't spend 3L for the preceding year?

n.b. For the first year, you are automatically in Silver Tier. Don't consider that.
All Atlas cards have free lounge access without spend requirement regardless of your tier.
Silver, gold and platinum tiers only determine how many domestic and International Lounge access you will get.

So even if you have not spent a single rupee on your Atlas card (never mind 3 lacs), you will still get both domestic and International lounge access (the minimum for silver tier)
