Axis Ace - devaluation

—IDFC Select: was not getting upgrade to Wealth (maybe apply again after 6-8 months)
—AU Vetta: Never used that card except Railway Lounge
—Axis IOCL:
Used that card everytime at only 1 Petrol Pump, but sometimes I got RP … and sometimes I did not. Every time I had to raise a complain and follow up till PNO to get reward points.

But 1 time … Customer care told me that “you will get reward points only for ONLINE fuel transactions and NOT physical swipe”. That was enough … Closed my card the very next day.
 
for ONLINE fuel transactions and NOT physical swipe”. That was enough … Closed my card the very next day
I am sorry, I could not understand it..did I miss anything here?? Online fuel transaction.. are they selling petrol on Amazon??
Or may be he meant scanning the QR Code instead of swiping..
Anyway this speaks high volumes of Customer Service in Indian Banks..
 
Closed cards:
SBI bpcl octane - not getting reward points and fuel surcharge on all BPCL pumps.
Amex MRCC - very low acceptance at offline stores. Difficult to make 4*1500 transactions every month.
Axis Flipkart - not using it after getting SBI cashback card, so closed it since it's paid card.
RBL Zomato - useless card, so closed it.
 
SBI Vistara Prime … I don’t travel a lot and vistara tickets are not much of use for me.
SBI Simplysave …. Useless card. Also I have SBI cashback
Amex SmartEarn…restricted to certain sites and low acceptance. Also for Amex specific offers I can use Amex MRCC

Planning to close
.IDFC Select…Useless card.
Axis MyZone…from next month onwards it will become useless.

*Axis Bank Flipkart Card - Useless
*ICICI Bank Mine Card - Waste (cancelled today)
Did you get any cc offers after closing hdfc cards?
 
AXIS FLIPKART (Paid) - Closed, as I couldn't meet waiver criteria & Axis denied fee waiver/LTF
AXIS IOCL (LTF) - Closed, as even after 4 months and repeated follow-ups, they didn't give the welcome benefit.
CITI Rewards (Paid) - Closed, Didn't wanted to deal w/ AXIS post merger
SC Rewards (Paid) - Closed, Didn't activate but closed. Was mis-sell as LTF but was paid

Planned Closure
PNB Platinum - Their email statement are non-reliable. They failed to send statement twice and I missed payment. Its now Dormant, will soon be retired.
AMEX MRCC - Acceptance is really an issue. I struggle to complete 4*1500 transactions
SBI Cashback - De-valuation. May not be worth anymore (Have met waiver criteria this year, will keep another year)

and (may b) some dormant LTF cards which are never used and don't have much benefits either
If one has considerable online spends than SBI CB is still VFM. With considerable online spends it's not hard to hit the fee waiver criteria.

Exactly … even I got confused what he meant by saying “Online Fuel Transaction”
He promptly explained that “POS” transactions by physically swiping the card … are not eligible for 5x Fuel Reward Points and only Online transactions are eligible.
