🪓 The Legendary Year of 2023-24: A Tale of Firsts and Wonders​

Here’s how 🪓 truly left its mark:
  • 🏆 Provided unbeatable rewards (for a while).
  • 🔄 Offered excellent transfer options, which we learned.
  • 🤔 Became the first bank to educate users about loopholes (which they never utilized in other areas of life).
  • 💔 First bank to remove all benefits at once—because why not?
  • 🏦 Acquired a major bank (flex much?).
  • 🃏 Developed the same features across multiple cards with only minor tweaks.
  • 💵 Changed annual fee criteria without adding any extra benefits—groundbreaking!
  • 🧾 First bank to ask for invoices to validate credit card transactions (because trust is overrated).
  • 🤡 Took it up a notch by asking for invoices to credit cashback.
  • 🏴‍☠️ First credit bank where users openly looted via loopholes (at least they had fun doing it).
  • 📱 Mandated SMS charges—because revenue streams come in all forms.
  • ⏪ Sent out notices reversing transactions from the past two years—yes, TWO YEARS.
  • 🧮 Taught users advanced mathematics to calculate reward points. Thanks for the lesson!
  • 🏢 Turned monthly salary credits into postable flexes.
  • 😤 Became the first bank to consistently frustrate users month after month (just check the headlines).
  • 🎩 Made users enroll in high-end programs to get back benefits that were once handed out like peanuts.
  • 💸 Still managed to offer the best cashback and transfer partner credit cards—bittersweet.
  • 📉 Dropped four devaluation notices in a single year (imagine paying annual fees upfront—ouch).
It’s a rollercoaster ride, folks, with more loops than we can count! 🎢

First bank which issued credit card under testing phase to its users.
First bank to block newly issued credit cards because card is being tested.
First bank to credit extra cashback which gets reversed after 2 months (असुविधा के लिए खेद है)

Hey guys, for the Magnus Burgundy card, will I have to wait 3 months if I have a deposit of 10 lakhs on the account or would I be upgraded to Burgundy right away? And what if I make a deposit of 30+ lakhs? I have been reading conflicting reports.
 
Have requested them twice for unfair fees. First time they reversed the Fees while I had to bear the GST. have requested them again just today again for the current Revision of Caps to various transaction. Will be closing my Axis cards soon. don't see much use anymore
