Both the reviews are for international flights as they had to go through immigration...there's nothing about availing for domestic flights

My initial query was for domestic flights only bro... As per the attached terms and conditions it says domestic and international terminals...i guess that means it can be availed for domestic flights also...

It would be lot better to spend 70k monthly spends (majorily online) on AXIS Cashback compare to AU Zenith+ for an additional 2.5%. 🙂

Is there an updated comparison of Zenith and Zenith+ AFTER Zenith's devaluation ?

 

[hellowo₹ld]

🚨 Major Update: AU Bank Zenith+ Card 🚨

• The 5000 points renewal benefit is discontinued.
• Renewal fee waiver is only via eligible annual spends, otherwise full fee applies with no renewal benefits.
• No other changes to the card benefits.
• These updates are effective from 17th November onwards.
• Banks must usually provide 30 days’ notice — so if your renewal falls within that time, you can raise a complaint.
