The product page states "4 complimentary domestic airport lounge visits every quarter (max. 2 visits per quarter)" — internally inconsistent as worded, since a quarterly count cannot also cap at 2 per quarter. Only the unambiguous 2-per-quarter cap is recorded here; the true annual total needs direct re-verification. International access is a complimentary Priority Pass membership (worth $99, 1,000+ lounges worldwide) with no explicit visits-per-year figure stated. 1 additional domestic visit is earned per ₹1 lakh spent, on top of the above.
