Axis Bank Flipkart Credit Card Review

Axis Bank Flipkart credit card was launched back in 2019 when the cobranded card space was evolving. I have held this card since then until last year after which I had closed this card to make space for other cards from Axis Bank's stable. I got this as an upgrade from the erstwhile Axis Buzz credit card which has similar benefits. This card is quite popular among cashback enthusiasts.

Here's a quick review of the same!

This card currently has no cap on any kind of spending but it does have a large list of exclusions. With a meagre difference of 0.5% cashback, this card is in direct competition with Axis Ace.

The lounge access tie-up is very limited on this card so do check the latest lounge list before taking this card.

If you are a heavy spender on Flipkart and other preferred partners and want to have a card for offline spending as well then Axis Bank Flipkart Card is just the right one. The 5% unlimited cashback benefit on Flipkart purchases and an unlimited 1.5% cashback on all the spends make this card shine.

This one card when used for all your spending will give you quite a good value if you cross the yearly spending requirements. Its direct competitors are SBI Cashback and HDFC Millennia but they only give better reward rates on online spends only.

Attached is screenshot of my Axis Flipkart Credit Card Statement for this November Month. It is written in the statement and I have marked it in red. You may download and refer to it.

Seems, they may have misprinted it in place of Fibe Credit Card as per the url in the third line. I cannot find this line in my December Statement, so we may need to double check this capping thing with the axis bank credit card customer care department.

Thanks!!
That's Axis template problem.

No cap on Flipkart card.
 
I took Axis FK card shortly after it was launched, just before lockdown 2020. At that time it wasn't offered free. Shortly after they started offering it LTF to everyone but I was stuck with a paid card ( 4lac+ limit).
However, I saved a lot using this card during first 2 years but now since last two sales they have devalued this card .
 
If you have SBI cashback card, this card is not that useful now. However chance of devaluation of SBI card is more than that of FK Axis card.
