Is there any point chasing lounge access cards if you only travel 1–2 times a year?

Why need to chase? For those credit cards with lounge access, the annual fees are easily waivable using the given annual miles point for waiver exchange. Eg DBS Altitude card, Citi Premier miles card etc etc.

Probably not unless you really value the comfort or free food 😅 If you only travel 1–2 times a year, it’s usually cheaper and simpler to just pay for lounge access when needed instead of chasing annual fees or spending requirements on premium cards.
