Bottom Line

Yes Bank recently revamped its credit card offerings and even introduced the new and premium Marquee Credit Card. However, the bank has since implemented a few restrictions on its credit cards. Firstly, they introduced spend-based criteria for airport lounge access from 1st April 2024. Now, the bank has limited its rewards program by not awarding Reward Points for rental and wallet transactions with Yes Bank Credit Cards. Additionally, reward points on utility bills will now be limited to spends of up to Rs. 25,000. This shall be implemented starting the 7th of March 2024.

This move is becoming increasingly common among banks, as many are not awarding reward points for rent and wallet transactions. Many banks are also charging DCC.
