Mumbai Airport Adani lounge and Kolkata Travel Club Lounge (both National and International) started not accepting Niyo Global SBM Credit or Debit Card - outright rejecting it.

Please resolve as a huge chunk of the user base use Mumbai and Kolkata Airport for international travel.

Hi @debosmit, complimentary lounge access on domestic airports have been stopped on both the Niyo Global debit & credit cards. You can, however, use lounge access in international airports within India. Here’s the updated list for your reference:

Hate to say goodbye.

Hey @siddhartha_jain, glad you asked!

With the **Niyo Global credit card** , you receive complimentary airport lounge access at **international terminals** within India. This benefit can be enjoyed **quarterly, once every three months** , that means **four times a year**.

And guess what? We’re also working on bringing the lounge access feature to international locations. Stay tuned for more updates! ✈

Recently I went to Bombay. NIYO SBM Bank Visa debit card was not accepted at Kolkata airport Travel CLub lounge and neither at Adani Lounge. They said the card is not eligible. I don’t understand when you don’t have eligibility then why you all mentioned that lounge access is available. It’s such a humiliations when the card is not accepted in front of others.
