Axis Atlas 1.18% fee for Education MCC code

From 20 December 2024, we have to pay 1.18% fee for education MCC codes, along with Rs. 235 for transferring points or miles to partners.

Has anyone been charged this 1.18% fee for education spends?
While doing a direct edu payment I only see the exact fee amount. No additional charge.
Will this charge be deducted later?
 
I am amazed to see Dr Shahab (the legend axes 🪓 expert asking this)🙈

My two cents: They should, now suppose even if they not, they will charge someday. Even after card closure.
My question is "Has anyone been charged?"
(Now nearly 30 days have passed since 20 December)
It is there only on paper but I don't think anyone has been charged yet

Have done many payments on university website. Got edge miles and haven't been charged any fee.

The T&C mentioned that fee will be charged on payments done through 3rd party apps and not on payments done directly through institutional websites or POS machines
 
Which one will make more sense for about 4 lakh education payment? Hdfc infinia or Axis Atlas? Axis Atlas points will be redeemed mostly on club itc or marriott. Not to Accor.
 
I had Atlas till last week
I usually paid my son's education fees on the school app...ranging from 6400 to 20000

There I was always charged 1.12% by default from last July 2024 (dint try before that so don't know)

So school fees plus additional 1.12% was the amount I was paying thru app directly. Nothing came in my statement.

Atlas gave me 4% Air miles..

Closed recently anyways...

Now using Infinia with 3.3%
Infinia FYI also charging same 1.12%
 
Does Axis still provide points on school education fee payment? Anyone here with recent experience? I have Atlas & Magnus Burgundy.
Yes Axis provides edge miles on education payments via any mode direct school or third party, i have done payment for education fee via third party in Jan25 and I got my edge miles for the same.
 
It should be payment gateway charges not Axis for direct payment. I pay direct fees and can see upfront charges for Credit card - higher for Amex/ DCB but no charges later by bank on HDFC cards or Atlas either.
