What does inactive connection meaning? Because I am on prepaid for Airtel fiber. I recharge it after old plan deactivates. Does that considered inactive?

 

[Shanmuga]

The 25% cb will NOT be there on the initial expenditure of new connection (or the existing inactive ones which are made active now) - if such expenditure is on the hardware cost and other charges (like shifting, surrendering, safe keeping, transfers, hardware damage, replacement of cable, advance payments, deposit amounts, labour.....).

All these are getting CB till now.
No CB from now on.

Only the actual monthly RECHARGES and BILL PAYMENTS will get CB from now on. For all existing and EVEN NEW Accounts or EVEN REACTIVATED Accounts.

That's what I understood by reading it carefully.

this is correct, in Airtel app mentioned like below.

 

[vine]

Any existing connections added in Airtel Thanks app will continue to fetch 25%.
If you get a new broadband/dth/etc connection and you add in the app (or gets auto added) after 20th Dec won't fetch 25%.

I paid via link directed through Airtel thanks app for new connection ₹3003 using Airtel Axis cc, this was two months ago.
No 25% or 10% discount. I think I did get 1%.
Sent email to customer care and nodal officer and they asked for screenshots and finally, they didn't give the 25% discount.

It isn't something new, they just announced it formally.

Ok, got it.

Are they giving 25% cashback for regular Recharge and Postpaid bills either New connection or Old connections?

I am planning to get new airtel prepaid number in January, for that connection, can i get cashback for monthly recharge ?

Seems no

Now airtel & axis will deny cashback for last column anytime due to mitc .

Similar I did recharge for top up in my old bsnl no approx 100 plus rs during airtel launch card in mar 22 they never give 10 % cashback it come under 1% bracket .

but after many recent people report this is coming Under utility 10 % atleast for jio recharge.

All are hit & miss like hdfc swiggy & sbi cashback some time it comes some time no cashback there is mcc issue here t&c issue from chumix .

Yes, you will get , if done from Airtel thanks app.
As usual with Ax-sh#t, take screenshot and record videos.

Ha ha ha...

At that odd hour, to comprehend such complex stuff, you need the brain of a 65 yrs old, techno-banker who got over 4 decades of experience in dealing with such stuff....

...and the delightful insomnia that tags along with the fabulous age of 65, turning you into a late-night problem-solving wizard! 🧙‍♂️✨😉😂

if the recharges are done through airtel thanks app you will get the 25% cb.

 

[abhiver]

and Hence Once again Axis has maintained it legacy of being "UNRELIABLE Credit Card provider of India".

I wish they start issuing the this card as LTF.

 

[Strange]

In your dreams.

Indian oil jaise fuel card par 3.5L spend par annual fee waiver condition rakhne wala lootera bank hai Axis. 🤣 🤣

Fir toh card closure is almost near. Axis walon se ek stable credit card nahi maintain hota. Unke agent neo aur myzone bechne mein busy rehte hai.

Dont take airtel fiber. You'll get the speed as per plan or even more, but Its quality is not good. Randomly there is high ping, and nothing happens when you click a page. And if you plan to access foreign websites and streaming, i forbid you to take airtel. I also took airtel fiber due to the greed of 25% cashback
Jio fiber is fine. Even bsnl is good if the bsnl people in yor area is co operative.

I have used airtel, jio and BSNL. I used each for 1+ year. Airtel is the only ISP which gave me consistent low pings on SEA & EU servers. But I had frequent disconnects. While I never faced any disconnects with jio.

[ravindra420]

I'm more inclined to this logic, I'll drop a mail to customer care to confirm once

Did you get any confirmation or clarifications from axis ?

So, I just came across this thread about the devaluation of the Axis Airtel Credit Card, and now I’m wondering if I made a mistake. My Airtel Axis Card is already approved and dispatched, though I haven’t activated it yet. The ₹590 joining fee has already been charged in the statement.

The only reason Airtel made sense for me was the 25% cashback on recharges—otherwise, I’d just stick to Jio. I compulsorily use WiFi at home anyway, so I don’t really care about mobile data and want you know cost effective voice and sms packs with very minimal data when I am not home. My plan was to port all my family’s numbers to Airtel and save effectively on recharges using the cashback and even I sorted out

But now, with this situation, I don’t know if it’s even worth it.
1. Would I get cashback on recharges for my newly ported Airtel numbers, or is it only for existing Airtel customers?
2. What exactly do they mean by ‘advance recharges’? Does it mean no cashback if I recharge just a few days/hours before my current plan ends? Do I always have to wait for my current plan to expire before recharging to get the cashback?
3. Should I Still go ahead and port my numbers, hoping the cc remains somewhat useful?
4. Should I Not activate the card at all? I think if I don’t activate it, it’ll eventually get auto-canceled for not activating within 30 days. Is it the case? And in that case do I pay the 590 Joining Fees ?

What kinda devaluation u talking on Airtel
25% upto 250 pm on mobile recharge
U can recharge my number forget about new port airtel number 😁


Advance payment/ first recharge= FRC Which sim agent usually does for new connection/ discontinued connection or while porting
Keep bank related sim as jio as calling banks is free & use Friday offer for jio
