That's spending 5k to get access to any lounge, world-wide, which costs less than 2.5k per entry, per person. Only beneficial now if you intended using the lounges for more than twice a year. 

Indian lounges feel more like free langar though.

With more and more banks, credit cards and rupay network offering free airport lounge access without any MAB criteria to grab market share, the limited space and overcrowding has transformed all lounges into a free langar event with long queues where waiting time is atleast half an hour.

Fuel spend is a viable option in this case.

Nice move by IDFC bank. 👍🏼👍🏼

If confirmed, I will be closing 7 out of 9 family and friends accounts. 

If they set the same criteria for roadside assistance, then all 9 accounts will be closed.
