Elevate Your Journey: YES FIRST ELITE+ Credit Card Lounge Access Benefits
Travelling should be comfortable, and with the YES FIRST ELITE+ Credit Card from Yes Bank, your airport waiting time can be exactly that. This premium credit card offers valuable lounge access benefits at both domestic and international airports, giving you a relaxing space before your flight. Let's take a detailed look at how you can enjoy complimentary lounge visits with your YES FIRST ELITE+ Credit Card, including important details about limits and spend requirements from Yes Bank.
Domestic Lounge Access: Travel in India with Comfort
When you are flying within India, your YES FIRST ELITE+ Credit Card provides access to a network of domestic airport lounges. This benefit allows you to relax in a comfortable environment away from the busy terminal. Here are the specifics:
Complimentary Access Available
Yes, you get free lounge access on your domestic travels using your YES FIRST ELITE+ Credit Card.
Spend Condition Applies
This is crucial: To be eligible for free domestic lounge access in a calendar quarter, you must have spent INR 10,000 or more on your YES FIRST ELITE+ Credit Card within that same calendar quarter.
For example, to get free lounge access in the quarter of April-June, you need to spend INR 10,000 or more between April 1st and June 30th.
Quarterly Limit
You are limited to a maximum of 2 free domestic lounge visits per calendar quarter. This means even if you make multiple trips and meet the spend condition, you can only use the free access twice within that three-month period (Jan-Mar, Apr-Jun, Jul-Sep, Oct-Dec).
Annual Limit
Across a full year (12 months), the total number of complimentary domestic lounge visits allowed is capped at 8. So, while you get up to 2 per quarter if you meet the spend, the total cannot exceed 8 in a year with your YES FIRST ELITE+ Credit Card.
Cardholder Only, No Guests
The complimentary domestic lounge access benefit is strictly for the primary YES FIRST ELITE+ Credit Card holder. Based on the data provided, guests are not allowed under this card benefit. If you are traveling with companions, their entry will not be covered by your card's free access.
Remember to check the eligible domestic lounge network accessible with your YES FIRST ELITE+ Credit Card from Yes Bank before your travel. Meeting the quarterly spend makes your visits free, up to the stated limits.
International Lounge Access: Comfort Across Borders
Your YES FIRST ELITE+ Credit Card also extends its lounge benefits to your international travels. Enjoy a premium waiting experience at select international airport lounges worldwide. Here’s how the international access works:
Complimentary Access Available
Yes, free international lounge access is a benefit of your YES FIRST ELITE+ Credit Card.
Spend Condition Applies
Similar to domestic access, eligibility for complimentary international lounge access in a calendar quarter requires you to spend INR 10,000 or more on your YES FIRST ELITE+ Credit Card within that same calendar quarter.
Meeting this spend target qualifies you for the complimentary visits in that specific quarter.
Quarterly Limit
You are entitled to a maximum of 2 free international lounge visits per calendar quarter, provided you meet the quarterly spend condition. Even with multiple international trips in a quarter, the free visits are capped at two.
Annual Limit
The total number of complimentary international lounge visits allowed annually (over 12 months) with your YES FIRST ELITE+ Credit Card is limited to 4. This is the overall cap, even if you qualify quarterly.
Cardholder Only, No Guests Included
Based strictly on the provided data for the YES FIRST ELITE+ Credit Card benefit, complimentary international lounge access is only for the primary cardholder. Guests are not included in this benefit.
While the data mentions a guest charge of USD 27, the explicit 'guests_allowed: false' indicates that the card's *benefit* does not cover guests. Any guest entry would need to be arranged and paid for separately according to lounge rules, potentially at this charge, but is not part of the free access provided by the card for the guest.
To make use of your 2 quarterly international lounge visits with your YES FIRST ELITE+ Credit Card from Yes Bank, ensure you meet the INR 10,000 spend threshold in that calendar quarter.
