Visa, best hai. Is there any particular reason mentioned by the bank?
For debit card? Its saying account is ineligible to apply for debit card. Many premium account holders facing same error.
BM said not to call him and i have to visit branch which has long queues at counters. I felt it as useless bank.
Zero concern towards customer.
And they happily accepted account closure lol
 
Hint : kindly correct me if I m wrong here
Ok, you dont seem to be in a mood to learn.
So, I will summarise my point: dreamfolks is not the only lounge access provider in india. So, your calculation that Eterna has highest lounges based on just dreamfolks data is wrong as you are not considering other lounge providers.
 
proceed discussion about this topic
- for cards under 3k,
- domestic lounge access purpose using whatever method that card provides.

let me know which card has high lounge access within India?

update: price whatever mentioned in website, not what you got separately.
I dont even think it matters which card provides highest number of lounge access. Just have 2-3 premium cards and then 90% of times you are good.

But still if anyone wants to spend time to find answer, first step is to start collecting information across all service providers and post here so community can help if required.

Bro, first of all, you are on the wrong track again. Let me provide you with some basic information that you can verify on Google, chatGPT, or any forum.

Firstly, DreamFolks is currently the only service provider for domestic lounge access in India.

Secondly, Priority Pass, Dragon Pass, and Lounge Key are all service providers for international lounges. These can not be used for domestic lounges. If you use Priority Pass or Lounge Pass in India, even for international lounges, your bank will charge you.

Thirdly, Priority Pass issued through HDFC Infinia Credit Card can be used at all lounges, both within and outside of India.

Fourthly, Dragon Pass is not yet available in India. Only one person in this forum has a Dragon Pass.

Lastly, credit cards other than HDFC Infinia Credit Card provide Priority Pass or Lounge Key for international lounge access only. If you use them at domestic lounges, your bank will definitely charge you the lounge access fees.

I am also here to learn, but not to gather half-knowledge or incorrect information. I am always curious to learn something new with accurate information.

In my opinion: Half-knowledge or incorrect information can be dangerous for everyone.

I have already shared my knowledge with you. Please correct me if I am mistaken. I am eager to learn if there is anything new or incorrect.

Go to priority pass website or Encalm website, search indian airports and see the list of lounges.

Example: https://www.prioritypass.com/lounges/india/goa-dabolim/goi2d-good-times-bar.
This one particularly will not let you enter with dreamfolks.

As I mentioned earlier, incorrect information can be detrimental to everyone.

The Good Times Lounge and Bar at Dabolim Airport has been rebranded as the Brew House Lounge and is now managed and operated by TFS.


Plus, a new lounge, the Travel Club Lounge and Bar, has recently opened at Dabolim Airport, also managed and operated by the same company.

So, what are you trying to say? Is this is covered under dreamfolks? Was it covered in your calculation?

Bro, nothing. Jo aapka gyan wohi sahi.

According to you, other service providers like Priority Pass and Lounge Key also offer access to domestic lounges in India. However, you have not provided any source of information to support your statement.

Earlier, you mentioned that "you don't seem to be in the mood to learn" but you have not shared any knowledge or information with us to help us learn something new.

One small correction: Encalm is not a service provider, but rather a lounge operator. In fact, 80% of the lounges in India are managed and operated by one company, SK Hospitality. Encalm Hospitality, Travel Food Services, and Semolina Kitchens are all ventures of SK Hospitality, which is owned by Mr. Sanjay Kapur.

Recently, Adani Airport Holding has acquired a 49% share in Travel Food Services (TFS) and Semolina Kitchens. Also, all Adani Lounges and the Rupay Exclusive Lounge in Delhi are now managed by TFS.

I gave you an example, just tell me if it was covered in your calculations?

could you list the "credit cards" under 3k that can accept 90% of lounges within India or as mentioned in Eterna website that more than 68 lounges (at least on pdf or somewhere in that card page)?
