Thanks for your list

Some pointers :-
- You forgot the holy grail - Infinia
- it would be better if you put lounge usage limits for each card as well

Domestic Lounge Access with Credit Cards have become so clumsy with so many parameters. Firstly, numbers of lounges which is accessible by card is different, then there's different spend criteria on most of the card, then different lounges in same airport

Hdfc millennia is spends based so deleted that from list. It's 1 lakh per quarter of spends.
 
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
