My transfers to Kris Flyer and Club ITC initiated on July 9th are yet to realise.

In March each of my three Kris Flyer transfers got credited in 2 days.

ITC takes 7-10 days, so there's still time to wait before the crib.

Called up travel edge just now about the above.
Here's what I was told

"Technical issue. Back end team is looking into it. All transfers on hold. No resolution timeline as of now".

About travel edge devaluation, I was told 5x remains, but depends on the card. Check with credit card team.

UPDATE

Kris Flyer conversion confirmed on
18th July.

Club ITC conversion failed.
Just received a message saying so.
Points will be refunded in 15-20 days, it seems.

One question. With all this info I am unable to find answer...

Is the monthly milestone for Magnus 1l still running and 20% conversion to amazon still there?

Is this going to change or is it just a change for the miles junta

Current features of card have not changed. The rumored changes were supposed to hit miles mainly. Conversion to vouchers is not a card feature and continues to be available.

What do you mean by this term "20% conversion to amazon"?
Are you referring to getting max 20K worth of Amazon Pay vouchers from Gift Edge/Gyftr?
 
As per the official tnc and banner shown in TE, it will be credited after travel/stay date.
But Axis in the past have been crediting them in 30-45 days regardless of travel.
I booked September flights on June first week, got 4x 2nd week July.

For flights booked for immediate travel dates, I got them within 1 week after travel.
I also got before travel date
 
Yes, i have transferred. Recently moved some points also. Most of the points but not together. All to my account only.

Thanks i will check
 
I puchased flight tickets using Travel edge on 26th June and 28th June for same travel in August. I got the accelertaed points for first transaction on 6th July and second traction on 20th July. I dont know what logic Axis is using. It looks like someone has to manually run the script to credit points. Very starnge!!!!
 
If you remove the 25000 Bonus rewards points in Magnus Infinia beats Magnus hands down. Instead of trying to spend more to get reward points one should do their normal regular spends and for those regular spends use Gyftr vouchers etc. Gyftr HDFC has better rewards than Axis Gyftr as of now. The only reason I continue to have Magnus is because it gives 8 Guest Lounge access.( Very useful in foreign travels and not for Domestic) I was just about to take Reserve based on my RM's recommendations and this happened 🙂 If Guest access of 8 times is removed I would rather pay for the additional guest at 27 $ on my Infinia PP. Infinia PP is unmatched
For people who do not need Lounge access etc the best card is still ICICI Amazon Pay. Just use your card without much calculations on how to maximize etc ( use that time for more productive work). If one does lots of Big Billion, Myntra spends etc just keep LTF with max cashback cards of ICICI, SBI , CITI and HDFC and you are done. Flight tickets as well when I compare buying directly on MMT or Yatra using Credit card offers turns out to be mostly cheaper that Traveledge or Smartbuy post considering the 10X rewards. One can get Airmiles while booking on these sites as well. Just my view no offence to anyone

One Should always stay away from IndusInd Crédit Cards. Their way of operation is Prepaid Benefits. Basically you pay 25K to 200K to get these benefits and many times those cards become worthless as well. Their Debit card ( Exclusive and Pioneer) is good though for people who want zero markup ( for people who travel abroad a lot). Alternatley One can have a FD bsed IDFC WoW card.. I know for people with Infinia its why the hell would I have a FD based Credit card. Its only for people who travel abroad a lot as it gives zero markup fees. Its more useful now as there is a cap of 7 lakhs. So no harm in having 2 Cards with zero markup.
Always remember when there is too much benefits on anything thing be it Ola, Uber, Uni Card, Paytm ( Pre 2019) or any other card its just customer acquisition phase and will not last long 🙂
As a matter of fact, many known Infinia PP users have reported they are not being charged for Guest Access at all.
If you hold one, you may try it 😉
 
They suspended my account stating non-personal usage. However, I do not recollect any non-personal usage. Thank god I transferred my 3L reward points last week.

This is bat shit!
