Devaluation Axis Atlas Credit Card Huge Devaluation Effective From 20th April 2024

[sid16]

Quick questions. If I make an advance tax payment on 15th April using Atlas and reach the platinum tier from current gold tier,
1. Will I get the base miles (since it is taking long for Axis to process them these days)?
2. Will I get the 10k miles?
3. How many miles will I get as a renewal benefit on card anniversary?

Axis refunded 50% joining fee(20 days old Atlas card). I demand 100% refund and surrender and I am yet to get response.

Should I press it further or be happy with 50% and use 5000 airmiles?(not sure whether they will take it back)

I asked them about the devaluation, and told the card is not worth paying after devaluation.

I do spend about 4.6-6 lakhs on travel categories on trips to Singapore and Japan but I don’t currently have an Indian card that seems to give better cash-back on ‘Other’ spends.

Axis made the complex tier based reward structure of Atlas even more complex after devaluation.

However paisabazaar tries to explain everything in simple terms
