Sorry I was not following for sometime. for lounge access related Q.

domestic :
If I have spent 50k in March then April, May , June I can use domestic lounge.
July not possible to access.

International only total 4 visit? And no guest visit allowed?

Basically its crap card for 10k yearly fee.

Any alternative card to replace magnus?

[manish16]

Having Airtel, SI and IOCL LTF. Have some electronic purchases in line with SI. But, wished to have Privilege card for 2X redemption. In dilemma now, to close SI or IOCL, already got 30K ER points but as per recent devaluation in base cards, anticipates further devaluation in Privilege or SI in near future, before my planned redemption of ER points.

Bro get previlge today by closing iocl .

Redeem & get back iocl .
Or Neo rupay ltf .

If u gonna wait for tomorrow one less day for 20 april

 

[manish16]

Will they provide IOCL again and that too LTF? So, at the end, one should have both SI and Privilege card for best redemption value? Pl help in deciding to close between Airtel or IOCL LTF.

Bro can't say about iocl Ltf ..
Don't close Airtel that's for sure

U got 30k edge reward welcome benefit now u can discard unless u want to shop on Samsung.com for less than ,50k product

Again, will closing SI, will forfeit 30K ER points also? Given the condition that I will still have my IOCL active which is also a reward based card. Axis Bank customer care representative are giving conflicting response to the same query. Somebody said it will expire, someone else said, they don't.

Lately, I just transfer Magnus ER points upon reaching 20k to Club ITC as Axis cannot be trusted.

My Magnus is free till Jan next year. Still think 2.4% reward rate to convert to Club ITC Green Points is good till 1.5 lakhs and anything beyond is a bonus. If I have to pay annual fees next year, I'll just downgrade. I don't need it for lounge access as I have DCB.

Don't talk too much with customer care unless you want to waste your time.
People here are more knowledgeable.

And unless you want to risk multibrand vouchers worth 6250 ( corresponding to your 30k ER) get Privilege card asap and encash your ER.

After 20th, Multibrand vouchers and double rate encashment for Privilege, most probably, won't be available
