Axis Magnus Axis Burgundy Salary account approval eligibility

[CC_Exuberant]

I have HDFC salary account for last 13 years and I have received INFINIA METAL LTF , yes LTF . Now I want to switch my salary account to some other bank . And close this old account for some reason , don’t ask me why I want to close such old account which would lead to lower CIBIL ..

I have ITR of 45 lakhs but my salary credit is only close to 1.5 . Hence not directly eligible for AXIS burgundy though my institution comes in their list where only 2 lakh credit is eligibility.

Approached branch , they told me if I share my last 3 months salary they will get it checked by their back end team and get approval for burgundy account .
So my question here is “Is it possible ? Or is it scam or bluff ? Anyone here who has the same case ” Thanks !

Actually i think of it as like this.

I can get 10lk rupees benefit out of my Magnus a year for sure.

So 10lk is guaranteed return from the amount invested, thats 20% on the value. Plus in long run i get 20-30% yoy i am content from their PMS.

Thats my way to look at it.

Their charges are 2.5% per year, charged every quarter. which is industry standard.

Plus they dont charge brokerage and all that (except STT) saves probably 0.5% a yr.

Can you elaborate on how do you squeeze 10L rewards from Magnus ?

1.6lk to Accor = 2.88lk.

Remaining 6.4lk miles, even if you go ITC route thats still = 6.4lk thats (6.4 + 2.88) 9.28lk.

And thats bare minimum.

You can opt for Business class flights and make it easily 2rs per mile. At times even more.

Plz Guide us in detail how to spend and earn so much points. U already gave that in some of ur post.. Suppose if my monthly spend is overall 1 Lakhs( Rent, Food,Maid,Shopping, Outing, Petrol) and every Bimonth it will cross 1.5. then how should we use M4B properly

Just do concentrated spends?

You can pay quarterly rent if your rent for the quarter is below 50k.

That's the only way to go about it.

Spend major chunk in 1 month and cruise by the next 2.

Family for sure gets pissed but wonder if they can stay pissed while staying at Crest suite in Swissotel Singapore or Gold Suite in Fairmont.

I have a story to tell:
With my Burgundy Salary account, I got the free Magnus Burgundy last year.
There is no change in my salary post that but they downgraded my card to normal Magnus! I am still exchanging emails with their MD office but it's like hitting my head against the wall - unable to understand why they did it!

So, let me know if u r successful to get the free Magnus Burgundy - I have more than 2L points to redeem

😱😱You should create a separate thread about this... This is the first I'm hearing about this... Unfortunately I am not surprised. Axis is shit chor shady and useless as axis.

They will open PMS within your account only, and make you burgundy instantly and give you card within a week or so.

[magnusfan]

I still can't understand why Magnus Burgundy with their subpar 4.8% rewards?

Infinia gives fantastic on 5x/10x

SBI Air India Signature gives 10% Air India points with each point value between 0.6 to 1
