Airport Lounge Access with SBI MILES PRIME Credit Card from SBI Cards
Elevate your travel experience with the exclusive airport lounge access benefits offered by your SBI MILES PRIME Credit Card from SBI Cards. Whether you're travelling within India or heading abroad, your SBI MILES PRIME Credit Card provides access to comfortable airport lounges, making your wait time a more relaxing and enjoyable part of your journey. Let's dive into the specific details of these valuable benefits available with your SBI MILES PRIME Credit Card.
Domestic Lounge Access: Travel within India with Added Comfort
When you travel within India with your SBI MILES PRIME Credit Card from SBI Cards, you have the opportunity to access participating airport lounges. It's important to understand the structure of this benefit to maximize your usage. Here's a breakdown of your domestic lounge access:
Annual Limit of 8 Visits
You are eligible for up to 8 complimentary domestic lounge visits per calendar year with your SBI MILES PRIME Credit Card.
Quarterly Cap Applies
While the annual limit is 8, these accesses are capped at a maximum of 2 complimentary visits per quarter. This means you can use the lounge up to two times within each three-month period (Jan-Mar, Apr-Jun, Jul-Sep, Oct-Dec), contributing towards your total of 8 annual visits.
Spend Condition for Access
Your eligibility for the 2 complimentary visits in a specific quarter is linked to your spending on the card in the *previous* quarter (based on standard industry practice for such benefits, although the data states "quarter" which usually implies the *current* quarter for spend qualification - we'll stick to the provided data's indication of linking spend in the quarter to access *in that quarter*). To unlock your 2 complimentary visits for a quarter, you must spend ₹20,000 or more on your SBI MILES PRIME Credit Card within that specific quarter.
Example: To get 2 complimentary domestic lounge visits in the July-September quarter, you need to have spent ₹20,000 or more on your card between July 1st and September 30th. If you don't meet the spend threshold in a quarter, you won't be eligible for the 2 free visits in that quarter, even if you haven't used your full annual quota.
Cardholder Only Access
This complimentary lounge access benefit is specifically for the primary SBI MILES PRIME Credit Card holder only. Based on the provided data, guests are not included in the complimentary domestic lounge access. Any accompanying guests would need to use their own eligible access or pay the lounge's walk-in rate.
By planning your spends and tracking your quarterly usage, you can effectively utilize up to 8 domestic lounge visits per year, capped at 2 per quarter, with your SBI MILES PRIME Credit Card from SBI Cards, provided the minimum quarterly spend of ₹20,000 is met.
International Lounge Access: Global Travel, Enhanced Comfort
Your SBI MILES PRIME Credit Card from SBI Cards also provides access to international airport lounges, adding a layer of comfort to your global travels. Here are the specifics for international lounge access:
Annual Limit of 4 Visits
You are eligible for up to 4 complimentary international lounge visits per calendar year with your SBI MILES PRIME Credit Card.
Quarterly Cap Applies Internationally Too
Similar to domestic access, your international lounge visits are also capped at a maximum of 2 complimentary visits per quarter. These quarterly visits contribute to your total annual allowance of 4 visits.
No Spend Condition for International Access
Based on the provided data, there is no specific spend requirement mentioned that you need to meet to unlock or use your international lounge access benefit. Your eligibility for up to 2 visits per quarter (max 4 per year) is based on your card membership itself.
Guests Are Allowed
Good news for travelling companions! Your SBI MILES PRIME Credit Card allows you to bring a guest into the international lounge with you during your visit.
Guest Charges Apply
Please note that bringing a guest incurs a charge. Based on the provided data, the current charge for a guest is USD 27 per guest, per visit. This charge will typically be billed to your SBI MILES PRIME Credit Card account by SBI Cards.
With a total of 4 complimentary international lounge visits per year, capped at 2 per quarter, and the ability to bring a guest for a fee, your SBI MILES PRIME Credit Card ensures a comfortable pre-flight experience on your global journeys, without any spend hurdles for this specific benefit.
