Our verdict

Yes Bank Marquee offers 24 domestic lounge visits a year (6 per quarter, subject to prior-quarter spend) and unlimited international visits at a ₹4,999 annual fee (₹9,999 joining) — comparable to Axis Magnus on lounge benefits, with a low 1% forex markup and Yes Points on eligible spends. Yes Bank's banking stability has improved significantly, making this a credible premium option for those with a YES Bank relationship.

Pros

  • 24 domestic lounge visits a year plus unlimited international visits
  • 1% forex markup — one of the lowest rates in the premium segment
  • Yes Points earned on eligible spends, with a straightforward earn structure
  • Fuel surcharge waiver on transactions between ₹500 and ₹5,000

Cons

  • ₹9,999 joining fee and ₹4,999 annual fee, with a ₹10 lakh waiver — expensive for lower-volume users
  • Domestic lounge access depends on spending ₹1 lakh in the previous quarter
  • Insurance, education, rent, wallet, railway and toll spends are excluded from points, and a ₹100 fee applies per redemption request
  • Yes Points transfer options limited vs Axis EDGE Miles or HDFC reward points
  • Yes Bank perception risk — though the bank has stabilised, some users remain cautious
