IndusInd Legend loses lounge access — 100% cut
IndusInd Legend cardholders will no longer receive complimentary lounge access, a 100% cut from the previous 1 visit per quarter. This change takes effect from 7 March 2025, despite the card's ₹5,000 joining fee.
IndusInd Bank has removed complimentary lounge access from the IndusInd Legend credit card, effective 7 March 2025. Previously, cardholders received 1 complimentary domestic lounge visit per quarter. This change comes a year after the bank halved the number of lounge visits for Legend cardholders. The removal of lounge access is a significant devaluation of the card’s benefits, particularly for those who paid the ₹5,000 joining fee based on the promise of airport perks. Existing lifetime-free Legend cardholders are less affected by this change. Our take: if you’re paying for the IndusInd Legend card based on its lounge access, it’s time to reconsider and look for alternative cards that offer better airport benefits. The loss of lounge access, combined with the card’s joining fee, makes it a less attractive option for those valuing this perk.
