Axis X Accor 25% Bonus - Is this the offer for You?

[SubhankarSubhankar is verified member.]

Axis Bank has launched a limited-time 25% bonus offer on points transfers to ALL – Accor Live Limitless, one of the most rewarding hotel loyalty programs for Axis cardholders.


Accor remains a top choice due to its strong redemption value across a diverse portfolio of hotels, from budget-friendly stays to luxury properties. With this promotion, you can earn up to 6,000 bonus Accor points, meaning the maximum eligible transfer is 24,000 Accor points.



Offer Period: 24th March – 30th March 2025 (Check Attachment for Detailed T&C)


The Catch? Limited Card Eligibility


Unfortunately, most of Axis Bank’s premium cards are excluded, including:


❌ Axis Burgundy Magnus


❌ Axis Reserve


❌ Axis Atlas


❌ Axis Olympus


…and several others.


The only high-value card included in this offer is the Axis Horizon, which offers 2% basic earning rate and allows 1:1 transfers to Accor. With the bonus, transferring 24,000 Edge Miles from Axis Horizon will yield 30,000 Accor points - a great deal for those eligible.



Other qualifying cards include Axis Rewards, Axis Select, and six more, primarily targeting lower-rewarding cardholders, especially ex-Citi cardholders like Axis Horizon users.


Should You Transfer?


For most high-earning Axis cardholders, this offer isn’t compelling. However, if you hold Axis Horizon or other eligible cards, this is a fantastic opportunity to maximise your hotel rewards.

Why r they still treating Citi customers separate from Axis? When will true merger happen?

Few days back also, I saw one offer only for Citi cards. And those cards still not available for fresh applications.

Good time to redeem those edge miles on IOCL premium card before closure.

Should You Transfer?

Just to mitigate the risk of limiting exposure to shitty bank please transfer points whenever possible from axis to outside axis. Mitigating the risk of exposure to axis is worth the trade-off of losing some bonus points.

When will true merger happen?

Dont get your hopes up man...over time, most likely citi customers will be treated similar to the shitty way axis treats it customers

Its not going to be the other way around where they raise the experience for everyone to citi level....customer excellence ... No never ever with axis

what if I have both Burgundy pvt and axis select as well, then because I have select I am eligible for this offer right.

It doesn't work like that. If u r getting select transfer ratio of 10:1, only then it will work. With 5:4, it will count against burgundy private.

Only Select is eligible and only the points earned by Select will get the 25% bonus when you convert to Accor.
You can see the break up details of the points earned by each and every card you have.

I'm holding Indian Oil Axis Bank Premium Credit Card, does it make sense to transfer?
I can redeem 1 mile = 1 rs when I pay for fuel, with this transfer, I am getting 2:1 ratio, and one accor point is worth 1-1.8 rupees, with bonus maybe worth it? dont have any immediate travel plans apart from year end plans. Should I go for it?

I hold Axis IOCL Premium and I am also planning to make a transfer under this offer. The reason being not so good experience with regards to actual miles credit upon usage at IOCL bunks. Post migration to axis have used it three times across three different bunks and each and every time had to call up customer care for the miles to get credited as per card feature that is 6 miles per 150/-

I used to get only 1 mile then for the rest the whole circus of to and fro communication with customer care, sending invoice, etc to get the balance miles credited is simply ridiculous to bear after a while. So instead of getting 4% via direct usage and redemption it’s better to convert the same to Accor as its 4.5% with bonus included. Shall close off the card then before renewal or after getting desired pre-approved card.

Only saving grace is the Zomato offer on this card which doesn’t justify to hold it post paying fees.

I have also faced this, I have been credited only twice in last 6 times. Had to call up, but gave up midway.

Only saving grace is that this card is LTF for me, so just keeping it till I need a different axis card.

The original Axis IOCL card is good and gives 20x points every time you swipe it at all IOCL pumps (max 4000 per swipe, max 5000 per month).
Max 1000 points on 5000 spend every month
