yes, thats what i was thinking. star alliance gold until 2026.what happens if tier status validity is till 12th november ? hope they extend by an year
What does this mean for co-branded vistara cc, are they saying cards will remain as it is until march 31,2026?
you mean already issued vouchure or issuance expiry ?One of of vistara voucher is expiring on 5th oct 2024 and the other one on 4th nov 2024.

Already issued .
well sadly you just ignore the merger for these tickets and just utilize them (unless you get lucky, probably try asking the customer support)
[ I remember my struggle of getting the milestone voucher against govt spend which I did few hours before the exclusion was applied (around 10pm on 2nd Jan 2024), finally got the milestone benefit issued by Axis(after multiple escalations) ]
I think they should get extended by default, I have similar case. Or may be need to ask vistara support.
just found this piece of info (point 4, existing card), hope this works for my 12th nov expiry.what happens if tier status validity is till 12th november ? hope they extend by an year
unfortunately this is the only year to collect the vouchures(for already renewed and renewals not before march 2025) unless something better comes up.

I don’t understand your statement. The existing card card benefits will continue to apply until the program in its current form gets dissolved in April 2026. Until then, the only changes will be that CV points get converted to FR points, and vouchers will be usable on Air India.
Even assuming premium economy tickets cost the same on AI as on UK, plus the fact that AI has an even better flight network, but also considering that FR points are less valuable that CV, I think overall we will be able to derive similar value from the cards until March 2026, until some new card propositions/conversions come up.
Existing card card benefits => I was talking about the Vistara Gold Status here
So take a trip.One of of vistara voucher is expiring on 5th oct 2024 and the other one on 4th nov 2024.

Is this a good time to opt for Axis Vistara/any other Vistara co-branded card? Since these cards will not be available after this month and Joining Fees/Annual fees is returned back in the form of annual flight vouchers? Or am I missing something?
they are still gonna be valid until 2026 and you cannot get it at this point in time as per my info.
It ia being available atleast in case of axis vistara cards in pre approved section. Now, point to consider is are cv points more in value or the corresponding air india points as transfer is 1:1. If, air india points are more valuable then it makes sense to take the card now. Also, award flights when transferred to air india, are the options widened up on air india, vis availability of routes, dates and time wrt to award flights?
