Spa access is now gone after latest devaluation and spend criteria for lounge access is pretty high. Dreamfolks card is for international lounge access there’s spend criteria in that.
I thought the spend criteria is for domestic lounge access. Does international lounge access through dream folks also has spend criteria?
 
Hm I don't think so, I used my Priority Pass card at international lounges without any additional charges even though I hadn't fulfilled the spend criteria in the previous quarter (Sapphiro).
That is living dangerously because even after 3 months you can get charged $27 per person for international Lounge access.
Because you did not full fill the spend requirement

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that, good to keep in mind. I'm moving to DCB Metal now anyway since the ICICI cards have been rendered absolutely worthless with all the devaluations. The only decent card is Emeralde Private Metal and they're being even more tight fisted with that card than HDFC is with Infinia (even though the Infinia beats EPM hands down in every category).
 
One quick question - I ended up spending beyond 75K in Q1 in my Sapphiro. So I guess now lounge benefit is available in Q2. How much lounge can be used in Q2? Is it 1 domestic and 1 international? Do I have to generate some voucher like Regalia? Or just swipe the CC in domestic or Dreamfolks for international?

4 Domestic/Quarter + 2 International/Year
In case of dual card 2 + 2 DL
Is it 1 domestic and 1 international? Do I have to generate some voucher like Regalia? Or just swipe the CC in domestic or Dreamfolks for international?
Swipe the card in the dom & DF in International.
