Are you an ICICI Bank credit card holder? If yes, there are some important changes coming your way regarding airport lounge access benefits.
Starting April 1, 2024, ICICI Bank is introducing new rules for lounge access across several of its credit cards.
What’s Changing?
From April 1, 2024, you can enjoy one complimentary airport lounge access by spending Rs. 35,000 in the preceding calendar quarter. This means the spends you make in the previous quarter will determine your access for the next quarter.
How Does It Work?
Let’s break it down: if you want complimentary lounge access in the April-May-June 2024 quarter, you need to spend a minimum of Rs. 35,000 in the January-February-March 2024 quarter. Similarly, for the following quarters, you’ll need to meet the same spending threshold.
What You Need to Do
To make sure you get your free pass to the airport lounge, keep track of your spending. Ensure you spend at least Rs. 35,000 in the designated quarters to unlock access for the subsequent quarter.
Why It Matters
Airport lounge access can be a great perk for travelers, offering a comfortable space to relax before your flight. With these changes, ICICI Bank aims to provide this benefit to its credit card holders while ensuring it remains sustainable.
