for any one ..
you can book one for me to Sydney...from Hyd 😉

Yes Bank MARQUEE Credit Card

As you guys already know, YES Bank is revamping their CC protfolio recently , I took a dive and got their latest offering "MARQUEE" CC in the Premium segment ..
I am NTB to Yes bank until now...
I actually liked the name of the card and also its physical appearance.. very appealing looks ...

I got the card mainly for its Unlimited International Lounge Access ( for both Primary and Add-ons) and some reward points for Govt Transactions.
Online Spends rewads rate is also good @4.5% ( if redemeed for Flights and Hotels @0.25)

As I am NTB to Yes Bank, I will learn more about different redemption options soon ..
On the paper this is a very good card for its intended purposes as of now..

Approval is easy peasy.. punch in your details, it comes up with the eligible cards depending upon your CIBIL profile.. No income Docs required.. Card will be delivered in about 3 working days...
*you will only get 2 cards to select from depending up on your eligibility .. one among them would be BYOC( Build Your Own Card) along with other core card...

Where does this fit in the hierarchy:

It is the Top level card under their ( Premium Card Offerings) .. you can see this here:

HOW to Procure ADD-ON Cards -- Credits to @plastikman


Chronology of events for procuring addon card-

1. Got the card on 27th Feb
2. Emailed CC on 1st March to find out procedure for procuring addon cards
3. They replied on 3rd and told to visit branch or send filled application to Chennai office
4. Sent dilligently filled application form with aadhaar, pan and passport copies to Chennai office
5. Wrote to them, for enquiring status
6. They informed that they hadn't received it (inspite of bluedart having confirmed delivery)
7. They traced it after 7 days on 30th March and replied back with instant rehection of application citing 'Not authenticated' even though the kyc documents were signed by both me as well as the addon applicants.
8. I was enraged and wanted to escalate it further so wrote to their PNO on 1st April.
9. On 4th April, I received a verbatim reply of the same response as level 1.
10. Being enraged further, decided to escalate with RBIO on the same day.
11. Filed a petition with them highlighting Yes Banks intention to renege on their offering of lounge access for addon card holders.
12. Next day evening, I received a call from their cluster head for Mumbai who personally visited my residence with his assistant on the same day evening to collect the KYC documents.
13. Got the addon cards delivered on 10th.
14. RBIO closed my complaint after giving me the opportunity to provide my feedback.

Was a different joining benefit provided when the card was launched? I saw in some thread it was written 3x the fees was offered...
 
I have around 50-75k education fees payment upcoming if the card is delivered by that time then good.. also the JF is charges instant like Axis or around 3-4 months like HDFC?

don't go for this reason alone, apply only if you can spend in a year for various purchases.Otherwise you'll only disappoint.

I have other spends over the year, also I have IDFC wealth DC so that'll fetch 2.5% as well but even 50k matters for Annual fee waiver spends 🤣 so...

Also my main reason for taking card was Unlimited Intl lounge access as the 3 yrs fee can be easily recovered till then will find some other/better card...
 
Moreover my calculation was 1.25% from Marquee and 2.5% from Repayment so sweet 3.75% cb 🙃...

I am using LTF Reserv right now (First exclusive) which got upgraded from LTF First Preferred last year.
Is there a way to get my card upgraded to LTF Marquee.
Does Yes Bank even give Marquee as an LTF card?
