Debit card spend criteria.. That's pathetic.. Thinking of closing these cards as most of them are paid ones

only a handful of debit and credit card issuers will be left with no spend criteria. all debit and credit card companies should provide at least 1 domestic/international access without any terms and conditions per year!

I think the issue.. nowadays people taking LTF cards just for lounge access and not using those cards further and using other cashback extensive cards for shopping… So banks are getting no benefits of adding lounge access with cards…
