I have few cards as a primary holder which has lounge access.

1. I wanted to know if i apply an add on card, then add on card holder also can use lounge access.

2. Addon card can be taken only for blood relation and spouse? I want to give it to my maternal uncle, anything i should take care of?

3. I have the following cards, if it helps then please let me which cards addon will provide lounge access.

Axis FK, Amazon ICICI, one card, sbi ola, sbi CB, HDFC regalia first, idfc select.

4. Also the airports that i am looking for is mostly Mumbai and Blore.

P.S. i myself have never availed lounge access, so any more details would help, when i am planning to travel with my extended family.

TIA 🙏

Taking into consideration the cards you have.

1.  None of the cards support add on lounge access.

2. Add on card is generally approved for blood relation, never heard them issue them outside your direct family.

3. None of them

You can try to use one of your card for yourself and one for your uncle. But it's upto lounge to allow it, they used to allow it but with current level of crowds they generally don't anymore.

its been 5-6 months that I had availed domestic lounge access and based on that point, for domestic lounge access, the staff at the entrance check only for valid credit/debit cards which have this lounge facility to be charged as free (Rs2 for visa i guess and normally above 2k if you want to buy it) and apart from that no checks like if this card belongs to you or any relation between the passengers etc.. say for Mumbai lounge you have 2 cards eligible for lounge access (e.g.. Regalia, IDFC select -- please note this is just an e.g. and I have not checked the exact details) then you can inform that you need to avail lounge access for 2 folks and swipe the cards, here one card is valid for one person/entry and the time duration for the next swipe should be more than 3hrs i.e. say you can swipe Regalia for lounge access around 10am and same can be used after 1pm on the same day..  so please check which cards have your required domestic lounge access and if you find more than 2 cards and if only 2 folk are travelling then no need to apply for add-on for lounge access purpose..

things changed now sometimes they deny during rush hrs

@jainashish85

card holder has to be there, then they accept guest on 2nd eligible CC of card holder

so if my uncle traveling alone then he can not use my card to access lounge

few observations: 31/Mar Delhi T3 domestic amex lounge  full so denied entry

at Bengaluru I swiped HDFC Diners black 2 times to allow my guest, card statement showed Rs2 debit for plaza lounge and 080 lounge, though I was at plaza premium not 080

080 lounge now only for business class pax - as per her she denied me entry

IndusInd platinum select debit card also swiped twice(same card swiped after 2 mins) and guest was allowed(Dehradun aiport)
