Best free Credit Card for Lounge Access?

I don’t want to pay them Annual charges. HDFC Bank recently removed lounge access from one of their lifetime free card (Regalia), so now I need a lifetime free credit card which provides Airport Lounge Access. Any recommendations? P.S.- Already tried to get IndusInd Bank’s Legend card, but they are idiots, didn’t give. (They are mandating to take it on FD).

Indusind Legend Credit card is the best and LTF card for free domestic lounge access.

Yeah looked like to me too. But they are giving only FD backed credit card to me.

But Scapia need you to spend 5k for every lounge access. So it is not completely complementary

5k per month is nothing. And it's free/complementary only, it's not like you're paying scapia 5k per month. You're anyways using their credit card for buying other things and as a subset your getting lounge access.

Get the icici mmt plat, while it has a small one time joining fee (2800 something), there's no recurring annual fee or expense barrier for lounge access, and you'll get mmt cash & coupon upon joining.

Thanks. Unfortunately, I was once defrauded by ICICI folks, so have taken an oath to steer clear off them.

In general, I think credit cards are taking away lounges from free ones. Onecard and Amazon pay card also don't have it. So, not expecting new choices to come up in near future

They are taking away all free ones itself. Like HDFC has stopped issuing any new free credit cards now. Any new credit card has some annual charges. Same for SBI’s card too.

I don't think it's free. It's a spend based offer if using domestically.

HSBC Visa Platinum Card

Thoughts on the HSBC Visa Platinum Credit Card? Interested in it because its LTF and as someone who flies regularly with connecting flights, it provides 3 domestic lounge access plus bogo free on movie tickets?
