These are the 'exclusive benefits and privileges' on the card for Indians brought on by a world-class bank in New India.

The way banks are going, this will become a debit card/ cash economy soon. Of late, Indian banks are becoming more and more rogue in choking the spend categories and usage by way of charges, and to think that in some cases, they are now enabled and emboldened to even remove caps on fees.

This is NOT a good omen, but quite deserved.

We are going backwards in a lot of ways when it comes to banking services and charges.
 
WTF is this redemption fee on 99 and 199 for all redemptions.

Looks like Axis doesn't even want genuine middle class spenders to use this card!
Agreed! If you keep miles in acc for a high value redemption then there’s a possibility that they will block miles citing business txn.
If you keep transferring miles (like i do) to Accor so that Axshit doesn’t rob you off of em then be prepared to pay 236 every time.
Certified cunts!

Its anyways majorly cash economy. Only a small percentage of credit card users are there.

Indeed it is, more than it was before the infamous 'cleanup' operation. And the way things are going, it seems that the dispensation is hell-bent on converting that percentage into cash/ debit card economy as well. The banks have never been so aggressive as they are lately, when it comes to devaluing their products and charging consumers for the smallest of things, that make no sense at all in this day and age.
 
axis is good for LTF only. next year onwards you will see mass cancellations of cards in axis and mass cancellations will go for ltf cards only and next year no LTF cards will be issued, axis knows what to do, their internal teams have issues and also first they issued cards like tap water, with abnormal limits and no checks and balances, now defaults are happening rather than paying interest in cc. now they have made issuing a card nightmare, and then combined limits and now devaluation by devaluation in a larger scale, (axis tried to compete with HDFC but failed in such a bad way, that instability growth leads to this mess. axis learnt in hard way. where people misused the card left and right but whatever it is axis still has not been able to solve misuse because of poor software and poor skilled people in the banking segment. but nevertheless, unless axis flushes out people they are in a mess. Hope Axis shows what the reality of their CC is and as a consumer, we have learnt a message (but the reality is no bank will give offers like other country banks can give offers to their people) (India can't handle such unsecured debt, because the people who file Itr and who don't have itr also have unsecured cards and the spend to itr is never matching hence its better to wait for 2 more years, and after 2 years only reality can be seen in credit cards.
 
Atlas still offers better rewards on online and offline transactions
Only if Accor is partner. Infinia rewards are as good as cash. Accor is not available in touristic destinations in India and it's prices are getting higher and higher in India. After some point it will become difficult to make use of Accor rewards, once you are done with Thailand , Malaysia , Bali etc.

But accor points can be redeemed all over the world
 
Infinia also charges convenience fees on flight redemption. Every redemption costs you around 500.
