Axis FASAK strikes again, asking for invoices to prove personal use - October 2025

[6ix9ine]

Axis peeps, keep your invoices ready especially those who had abused MAXIMIZE and MAGNIFY (mainly MAXIMIZE).

They are once again blocking edge accounts. So, if you have made genuine GV purchases and have all your invoices and proper justification, there is nothing to worry about.

But if you don't then be ready 🤣🤣🤣

This is mostly because some people abused it heavily. No point going into too much detail, as it is still working and Axis can’t stop it.

Things were secret and everything was fine, until it got leaked and went to X then these famous X users started posting about it like they found it lol. Reality is they are there to earn money.

Anyway, If you have made genuine transactions and used the GVs yourself, then just relax. I’m fine no issues on my end but 2 of my friends earned loads, and both of their accounts are now gone.

This will mainly affect Atlas and M4B users.

Cat’s not out of the bag yet still keeping it short.

People hit their atlas and m4b milestones by buying GVs through MAXIMIZE HOTEL (which uses the hotel MCC), earning 10% free miles, and then selling those GVs publicly.

So basically, you earn free miles and make cash by selling the GVs. Sure, there are some fees involved, but who cares? 🤣

Axes : The final goodbye

This time I sympathize with Axis bank. This is precisely the reason behind the death of Magnus and Atlas cards. Some people just take exploitation to the next level and then banks r forced to stop the cards for everyone.

bhai axis m4b ki fees 35k ki hai, n i think waive off bhi nahi hoti.. n best usecase only to cross monthly milestone of rs 1.5L... abb itne spends toh usually business spends hi hote hai...usspar axis valo ki amma mar jaati hai... 12L annually spend krne vale ke liye bhi m4b is very expensive.. tabhi main isko HNI card samjhta hu

Culprit is Maximize, not Axis bank. They opened the gate. Axis is doing what every bank should do. It's just people hate axis more because they are more proactive than others.

HSBC and Amex are also smart. It's just they don't have much rewarding CCs (at least not for majority of the folks)

Hai bhai HNI hi woh. M4B mai Axis ka hi fayda hai, not for prople. Logo ko bus kata jata hai m4b ke reward dikha kar and log katwa lete hai. TF par hi bahut clueless bhare pade hai 😂

Ya but M4B is indeed a HNI card meant for frequent travellers. No point taking it if someone doesnt travel enough. Many people exploited Atlas similarly and now we may never see that 1:2 conversion ever in any axis cards after Atlas's death. Same happened with the previous magnus card last year.

HSBC/Amex will close your acc if they suspect anything. Ax is at least asking for invoices.

People were so happy buying gift vouchers using the hotel MCC, getting 5X rewards on the Atlas Credit Card and great returns on others too. But everyone forgot that one day, Axis Bank would come and question you.

In the past, I’ve posted multiple times about MCC codes, wrong MCC tagging, and their consequences (you can read the thread here: What is MCC? Why Is It Important? Consequences of Merchants Using the Wrong MCC). Yet people still continued using such platforms to buy GVs with incorrect MCCs.

What I don’t understand is, why are those same people blaming these platforms now? 🤔
Didn’t you know it wasn’t right to use a wrong MCC?
Didn’t you know the bank might question heavy “hotel” spends?
Didn’t you know Axis Bank has a history of asking for invoices to verify personal use?

When things were going your way and you were earning extra rewards, these platforms were “amazing.”
Now that you’re in trouble because of the wrong MCC, suddenly the platforms are at fault, isn’t that hypocrisy?

I’m not targeting anyone, just raising a question. Before blaming these platforms, maybe reflect a bit. You either shouldn’t have used them or just accept it since you knowingly took that risk.

To be honest, I’ve used loopholes too, and I didn’t blame the bank when I was questioned.
If you do something knowingly wrong, you should be ready to face the consequences.
