  • 🎧 Customer Care team were like "Whot Daa Phaak" is going on. They were unaware about these news, some were saying yes and some no

  • ✋ Then rumour mills started about devaulation being on hold

Yes, they were keeping it secret until we lose the value of our points.
I hope they will convert all existing edge points to Magnus Burgundy points. That way we still have chance at 5:4.

Now it says a different message.

Dear Customer, We are upgrading our services for a better experience. Therefore, reward redemption, in a few situation, are temporarily unavailable. They will resume very soon. We thank you for your patience.

You need to be a combination of a CA and a nuclear physicist to make sense of Axis' reward structure.

No insurance, rent, fuel, government, utilities, wallet, Traveledge/vouchers/grabdeals, even entertainment! Axis says Rs.30000 on groceries and Rs.145000 on shopping? What are they shopping for? Do they seriously expect people to achieve 2 lakhs spends every month on buying groceries and random other stuff? I mean, how much crap will you buy? Where do you keep all that?

I don't think anyone who has such spending power will be bothered to break their heads and dedicate time and effort at making all the convoluted calculations required to see if they meet milestones/thresholds and all that.

It boggles the mind that there is someone at Axis Bank who thinks this scheme is workable and is a good idea.

I feel Axis has been robbed by erstwhile magnus holders that's why they are coming with n no of T&C🤣

I think the table in the pdf is a bit misleading. I think Entertainment and Insurance are still considered for accelerated points. At least that’s what the grey box beneath the table seems to indicate.
 
Received this email just now:

"
Dear Customer,​
Thank you for banking with us.​
Further to our email of 21 July 2023, we are very pleased to share an update on the special offering on your MAGNUS Credit Card.​
We appreciate the Burgundy relationship that you have with Axis Bank; based on that, you are eligible to receive a new MAGNUS credit card, which will enable you to convert your EDGE REWARD Points, including all the accumulated ones, to partner miles / points at a ratio of 5 EDGE REWARD Points for 4 partner miles / points. To help you avail the same, we will be replacing your existing MAGNUS Credit Card with a new MAGNUS credit card, at no charge.​
You will also receive an email from us shortly, with further details, and how you can register your consent to avail the new MAGNUS Credit Card. Your existing MAGNUS Credit Card will then be upgraded, and all your existing EDGE REWARD Points will be transferred to the new MAGNUS Credit Card.​
To enable this smooth cutover, the redemptions of EDGE REWARD points on your existing MAGNUS Credit Card have been temporarily suspended, as we upgrade to this improved feature. Rest assured that all your points remain intact, and will shortly be available for conversion, in all your favourite categories.​
In case of any query(s), please contact our phone banking center at
1800 419 0065.​
Always open to help you.​
Regards,
Axis Bank Ltd."
 
Clearly, Axis has patched non-Magnus ERs conversion which could earlier happen at 5:4. Samsung Infinite ERs for instance will now be @5:2 and Magnus ERs will be a separate category with 5:4 conversion (for Burgundy customers). Relieved to see though, that all accumulated ERs will be eligible for 5:4 conversion.

Can't understand why the card needs to be replaced!
