Most of the Mastercard debit cards issued by Private Banks like Axis bank, HDFC bank comes with minimum of 2 Lounge access per quarter. While debit cards are easy to get, it can also serve as a backup card for lounge access when your Priority pass or Diners Card doesn’t work, like i faced recently in Plaza Premium Lounge at Delhi Domestic Airport where there was a technical problem with Diners network.

Its one of the major feature which Ru-pay is using to market their product. It sounds good that even Rupay is considering lounge access as a feature, but with their poor tech platform i’m not sure how it actually works in realtime.

Here are few more cards: ICICI Wealth Management Debit card, Citi Gold Debit card, Yes First Debit card.

Pro Tips:

1. Always prefer Mastercard over Visa as the number of affiliated lounges in Mastercard is higher than Visa.
   
2. You can know the free access available on your Mastercard by calling ‘MasterCard For You’ toll free helpline: 1800-102-6263 (Visa donot have such toll free no.)

Overall, lounge access is a great feature on debit cards, only downside is that it has access only to lounges located in India. You have to rely on Priority Pass or Diners Club for International Lounge access.
