is this for all YES creditcards including Marquee??

That’s a million dollar question with lots of confusion.
Anybody using MARQUEE got this email?

Seems like the other YES bank card holders got this email. @SSV did you get similar email for your MARQUEE?

I too have marquee and didnt get this email.

I have a feeling that Marquee is exempted from spend condition, the only issue is whether it works flawlessly both in domestic and international circuits

i agree.. after 10k fee if they put criteria maybe a bummer for many

Just one slight doubt… we need to check if this access is working beyond first 90 days without 35k spend in last quarter

Is spending on an add-on credit card considered in the minimum spend requirement for airport lounge access for the primary card? For example, I have an ICICI corel card, which allows one lounge access per quarter against 35k spent for the primary card only. If I opt for an add-on card for my Mom and she spends on it, will I get the lounge access? What is the rule regarding this for ICICI, HDFC, YES and Axis?

35k is the combined spending for both primary and addon cc.

There is an immediate debit of ₹2 for lounge access for me on my domestic lounge 1 primary and 2 guests on my marquee …
It is not 🪓 to send bill after 2 or 3 months or asking to present coffee bill which we had in the lounge after 6 months .. 😉

All banks will show the number of free access used and free access left in the chargeslip. So, always ask for a copy of the chargeslip. It is your right as a consumer. If they deny, atleast ask for the merchant copy of the chargeslip and click a picture of it.

yess.. we were just validating 🙂..there was some confusion earlier

I called and wrote to Yes customer care regarding the Marquee credit card minimum spend for lounge access. Both gave me the same answer. Marquee has no spending criteria for domestic as well as international lounge access. Please find the attached screenshot of the email reply I received from the Yes bank.



I believe this confirms that Yes marquee has no spending criteria for domestic lounge access at this moment. Thanks for all the inputs.
