Axis Airtel CC FYF Being Offered + Rs. 500 Amazon Voucher with Mastercard Variant - Grab/Pass ?

[sahil1033]

In Airtel app, I can see Axis Airtel CC being offered to me with ZERO joining fee and for Mastercard variant, there's an additional Rs. 500 worth Amazon voucher.

I usually recharge with Rs. 1,799 plan and intend to either recharge the same or even go with 1.5 GB/day for 84 days plan. Basically, I'll be using this CC only and only for Airtel prepaid recharges. Slight chances are that I may use this CC for bill payments like electricity bill if and only if RuPay Platinum debit card Amazon offer doesn't extend after March 2023.

Additional information : I'm already holding Axis Bank Flipkart CC and I don't have a savings account in Axis Bank.

So, my queries are :

- I'm hearing issue with cashback not received even for recharges done in Airtel app and some related discrepancy, is that true? If yes, how much irritating issue is this?

- I'll most probably surrender this CC after an year or maybe after 2 years if and only if I get the Rs. 500 Amazon voucher successfully as that's only for Mastercard variant and who knows Axis Bank may send Visa variant by mistake. So, do they retain if I go for closure by offering it LTF ?

- I've also heard about irregularities in application process for this CC. People see the offer in Airtel app and later on are denied/rejected, what's the issue exactly here?

- Ultimate question, should I take this CC or not? I've been waiting to get Axis Bank Ace LTF since a long time but have found peace with 1.5% cashback on offline spends with Axis Bank Flipkart CC.

Anything else? Please feel free to tell.

UPDATE # 1 :

I went ahead with the application process and encountered this, something that's been reported by several users. Any workaround for this?



UPDATE # 2 :

I reached out to Axis Bank on Twitter and over call got to know that this CC is on hold for some reason, so, they can't issue. That could be the issue why several people are unable to apply for it even after being shown the banner to apply.

Gone are the days when getting LTF CC was easy in HDFC Bank. Now they're forcing people to upgrade to paid CCs. Regalia isn't being issued anymore, instead Regalia Gold is issued which is a paid card (not sure but haven't heard anyone getting LTF CC now from HDFC Bank in recent times).

Maximum you can expect from HDFC Bank now is FYF CC. I'll suggest if you're getting Millenia CC FYF or even paid, go for it as getting LTF CC seems impossible at the moment and Millenia is the best out there even if it's paid.

Here you go.

Regalia Gold Offered FYF, received as LTF

I was recently offered Regalia Gold as FYF. I applied and during the processing received a mail that I was being offered it as LTF. I received the card today, but don't see anything mentioning the card being LTF. I hope I will not have to follow up on reversals during renewal time.

Journey from Regalia first paid to Regalia gold LTF

I was holding Regalia first(Paid) for 5 years. As I heard that people in my organisation are getting Regalia card LTF, I requested customer care to upgrade my card to Regalia LTF but they were offering FYF only. Then I closed this card in Oct 2022. This was also my first CC ever and at the time...

Crazy, that's good to hear. I'll remember this next time anyone says about HDFC Bank CCs being offered paid nowadays.

Is it really LTF or FYF. I didn't get voucher but for me joining fees was 0. I was happy with that.

I asked on phone banking and they confirmed LTF.

 

[sgoyal9]

lucky you, how did you get it LTF ?

do you hold any premium relationship with Axis Bank ?

I am a Burgundy account holder and held a Magnus credit card at the time.

Great.

Any idea how I can make my Airtel card LTF
