Question 1

What is the annual fee on the ACE Credit Card and how do you get it waived?

Accepted Answer

The ACE Credit Card charges ₹499 plus GST as a joining fee and the same ₹499 again at renewal. YES Bank waives the renewal fee if you spend ₹50,000 in the previous year, which is about ₹4,167 a month. If your card spend sits below that, treat ₹499 as a real yearly cost that your rewards have to clear first.

Question 2

What is the reward rate on the ACE Credit Card?

Accepted Answer

You earn 8 points per ₹200 on Online Shopping (except on Select categories). Everything else earns 2 points per ₹200. Each point is worth about ₹0.25 when you redeem it well, so ₹10,000 of top category spend gives you 400 points, roughly ₹100, which is about 1% back. The accelerated rate stops after ₹1,25,000 of spend in a month. Fuel, Wallet Load, Rent Payments, Cash Advance earn nothing at all.

Question 3

Does the ACE Credit Card give free airport lounge access?

Accepted Answer

The ACE Credit Card gives 1 complimentary domestic lounge visits a year. There is no prior spend requirement on paper, though YES Bank has been moving cards to spend linked access, so confirm before you rely on it at the airport.

Question 4

What changed on the ACE Credit Card recently and is it still worth it in 2026?

Accepted Answer

YES blanket devaluations. The changes are dated Dec 2024-May 2025. At ₹50,000 of yearly spend the card returns roughly ₹250 at its general rate of about 0.5%, against a ₹499 renewal fee. That does not clear the fee on its own, so this card only makes sense if the lounge visits or the co-brand benefits are worth the gap to you.
