Axis Vistara Infinite : Faster upgrade to Gold Tier.

[sid.m]

Hi everyone,

I had a first hand experience when applying for the Axis Vistara Infinite Credit card which I don't think has been previously mentioned anywhere in this community/forum so wanted to share.

I was approved for the card in the third week of Dec and received on 28th Dec (FYF offer). Subsequently, The card was billed with the membership charges + GST (Rs. 10,000 + Rs. 1,800) on 30th Dec.

As I'm scheduled to travel by Vistara in mid January in the Mumbai - Hyderabad sector, I wanted to experience Gold tier privileges. So just as an experiment, I immediately paid the membership charges in advance without waiting for the monthly billing cycle which would happen in end of Jan 2023.

Success! I received an email yesterday regarding my Vistara tier being upgraded to Gold (within 1 week of receiving the Card). Also recieved the first complimentary Business Class ticket voucher.

Hope this helps.

Can the upgrade vouchers be used for flight booked by CV miles or only on revenue tickets?

Okay, thanks.
I was thinking of redeeming points for travel on some particular dates in Feb DEL to BOM but the statement won’t be generated by those dates so the points won’t be transferred to CV account by then. Tricky to hold plans for this particular trip as reward ticket may not be available just a couple of days prior on this Sector.

Milestone tickets vouchers are generated generally around 7-8 days after transaction is settle.so it is quick.
CV Points only 5-7 days after statement generated.

I have 1 upgrade voucher available , so if I book a vistara premium economy flight then I can use the voucher to upgrade to business class ??

Also does this premium economy booking has to be made from vistara website or I can book via Yatra or MMT also ?

Yes your upgrade voucher should work regardless of where you booked the flight.

The gold status with vistara infinite is renewed every year till one holds the card or it’s only complementary for 1st year ?

Has anyone who had closed Axis Vistara Infinite card before, was able to re-apply and receive it again? The sales rep told me that if you close an Axis Card, you cannot get the same variant again. Can anyone please confirm?

According to the link and the highlighted point, doesn't it mean that the tickets need to be booked via vistara portal itself for using the Once Class Upgrade voucher? Correct me if I am wrong or please share personal experience.

For Upgrade vouchers, the original flights were booked directly on Vistara or some 3rd party like MMT/Yatra before using the upgrade voucher on Vistara? Can you please confirm.

I have not yet used the upgrade vouchers - so others in the community can help you here.
