MakeMyTrip ICICI Credit Card Lounge Access: Domestic & International

ICICI offers a total of three MakeMyTrip credit cards to customers, but now 2 are legacy (not available for new users) and only 1 is currently active.

The active variant is MakeMyTrip ICICI Bank Credit Card. This is the only card you can apply for today. It is issued as a combo — you get both Mastercard + RuPay, but both work on a single shared credit limit.

This active variant card lounge access works a little different compared to most ICICI cards. As per ICICI Changes PDF, Unlike many cards that now require around ₹75,000 quarterly spend to unlock lounge access, this co-branded card follows a fixed-access system (current variant).

• 👉 Means, this specific card is exempt from that standard spend rule.
• 👉 There is no minimum spend requirement to unlock lounge access on this card.

ICICI MakeMyTrip Cards – Legacy vs Current (2026 Lounge Comparison)

As of March 2026, ICICI has clearly split the MakeMyTrip cards into two parts — old (legacy) and new (current). The biggest difference you will notice is not the number of visits, but how easily you can actually use them. card names are –

1. ICICI MMT RuPay or MasterCard (Active)
2. ICICI MakeMyTrip Platinum Card
3. MakeMyTrip Platinum Signature Card

Earlier cards give more visits on paper, but like… you had to complete heavy spending to unlock them. Now the current card is more simple — you get access without that pressure.

Lounge Access Comparison (What You Actually Get)

Fees (What You Will Pay)

Real Differences You Should Know

• Legacy Cards (Old System): You will get decent visits, but you must spend ₹75K every quarter. And not all spends count — like rent, wallet load, EMI — these are ignored.
• Current Card (New System): You don’t need to worry about big spending targets. You will get fewer visits, but access is much easier and works without tension.
• Extra Advantage (New Card): RuPay version lets you use UPI also, so you can earn rewards on daily payments.

Note (Simple Reality): ICICI’s latest “upcoming changes” notice says MakeMyTrip cards are excluded from new lounge rules, but this mainly applies to the new dual-network card (Mastercard + RuPay). Means, only the current version actually gives lounge access without heavy spend rules — older variants may still follow the spending system.

How to Access International Lounges Easily

For the MakeMyTrip (MMT) ICICI Bank Credit Card (current dual-network variant), international lounge access does not work by swiping your credit card. It works through a separate Priority Pass membership card — this is very important.

How to Access International Lounges

• Carry Priority Pass Card: At the lounge counter, you must show your Priority Pass card, not your ICICI credit card.
• Show Boarding Pass: You also need a same-day international boarding pass. Without it, entry will be denied even if your card is valid.
• Free Visit Limit: You get 1 complimentary visit per year (only for primary cardholder).
• Guest Charges: If you take someone with you, they will be charged around $27–$35 (~₹2,200–₹3,000) directly on your card.
• No Spend Condition: Unlike other ICICI cards, this one does not require ₹75K spend to unlock international lounge access.
• Temporary Charge (Important): Sometimes even for your free visit, $27–$35 gets charged first, but it is usually reversed/refunded within a few working days.

Where to Check Lounge List (Correct Way)

• Use Priority Pass official app or website
• 👉 Search by airport (like DXB, SIN, LHR) or terminal
• 👉 Shows live list of 1,300–1,500+ lounges worldwide

How to Priority Pass Login & Activation

• Download the Priority Pass app first.
• Register using membership number on Priority Pass card And login using card number.
• Enter PIN from welcome kit
• After login → you get digital QR card
• If you forget physical card, QR can still work at many lounges

Important Warning (Very Real Case)

• If you directly swipe your ICICI card at international lounge
• It will charge full entry (~$35) instead of free visit

Example for You

• If you are flying from Dubai (DXB) → go to lounge → show Priority Pass + boarding pass → entry done
• If you swipe credit card instead → ₹2,500+ charge

New Insight: Some airports (like Singapore, Dubai) have multiple lounges in same terminal, but not all accept Priority Pass — always check exact lounge name before entering, otherwise you may walk to wrong one and waste time.
