CITI to Axis Migration: Citi Rewards CC Annual Fee issue

[lightwaves]

Hello Community,

My Citi Rewards card has been migrated to Axis Rewards CC. And my CITI card was LTF and I’ve a written email proof for the same .

However, I received an email from Axis which says that my Axis CC has the same fees as that of Citi and the fees will be waived off based on spend criteria.

But I’ve seen on this community in the past that some users who have this card as LTF, they got same email where it was mentioned that their Axis card also would remain LTF.

How should I deal with this issue? I do not want to pay the annual fees for this card. I have kept this card so far because it’s LTF.

Any ideas to tackle Axis folks?

Thanks

You need to close this card asap

Agreed but this is still the first year of Citi cards migration into Axis and I have already crossed my threshold limit of INR 30,000, so it makes sense to continue for another year and then close this card (unless Axis offers good retention offer).

My membership year ends on October 20th. I could not spend 30000 in last membership year so they posted the charge on my card. I called and surprisingly got the charge waived off. But they told me that from the next year onwards I will have to meet the spend criteria of 2 lakh rupees, not the same as Citi Bank criteria of 30K.
