BOBCARD is introducing a minimum quarterly spend requirement for complimentary airport lounge access across its credit cards, starting January 1, 2025. This policy follows similar changes by other banks, including ICICI. Previously, BOBCARD cardholders enjoyed lounge access with no spending criteria, but now, both premium and mid-range cardholders will need to meet specific spending thresholds to qualify.
Quarterly Spending Requirements for Lounge Access
| Credit Card Tier | Quarterly Spend Requirement |
|---|---|
| Premium Cards (Eterna, ICAI Exclusive, ICMAI One, Tiara, ICSI Diamond, Varunah Premium) | ₹40,000 |
| Mid-Range & Other Cards (Varunah Plus, The Sentinel, Rakshamah, Yoddha, Corporate, HPCL, Premier) | ₹20,000 |
Important Points to Note:
- New Cardholders Exempted: For newly issued BOBCARD credit cards, the spending requirement is waived in the quarter of issuance. This does not apply to upgrades from one BOBCARD product to another.
- Check Your Spending: To track your spending, log in to the BOBCARD portal at www.bobcard.co.in or use the BOBCARD Mobile App.
This update brings BOBCARD in line with other issuers who have also recently implemented spending criteria for lounge access. Be sure to monitor your transactions to maintain your lounge privileges if you frequently travel!
