Aap Chronology Samajiye

• Few leaked screenshots of PDF started floating for Magnus and Reserve having potential devaulation
• Few folks on Twitter acknowledged the upcoming devaulation by contacting their RMs or insiders from CC department
• Customer Care team were like "Whot Daa Phaak" is going on. They were unaware about these news, some were saying yes and some no
• Outrage | Speculation | Twitter Space | Points Transfer Tricks
• Then rumour mills started about devaulation being on hold
• Official links of devaulation PDF started popping but "Darling of Cards" was missing
• Axis pulled the plug and links started showing "404 - Not Found" except for unlucky Flipkart card
• BOMB - Axis Gift Edge devaulation
• Mass credit card cancellation and notice seeking clarification regarding commercial transactions
• Official PDF of Magnus and Reserve released
• Official PDF of MyZone, Privilege, Select and Ace released

All Magnus cards will be reissued on MasterCard or only the Burgundy+Magnus cards? If so I think bye-bye BMS benefit too.

The BMS Visa benefit will go away, but it will still have the Axis Magnus benefit.

Based on 3L salary credit or investment relationship?

Salary.

Salary.

Let's see things from a win-win perspective. Even in the current format the Magnus with Burgundy will provide super-normal benefits. The customer benefits from that. But how will the bank benefit? Not through those customers who only want to "milk" the card. But from those customers who route high value transactions through the bank, whether through savings, FDs, salaries, etc. They're offering a super-premium card for super-premium customers. As long as the customers play fair the bank will play fair. It's only natural.

Asli waala praacheen Burgundy (hamari koi shakha nahin hai) - this one is real.

I applied today for the Magnus card, where there was zero joining fees or Annual Fees until I manage my Burgundy status for same.

Also open a Burgundy for my sister as well.

I maintain my status via Salary currently. But soon planning to move funds in the accounts as HDFC is giving hard time since past 7 month with account upgrade.

Attach is the sms I received from them

What was the process that you followed? I am thinking that you may fall under some criteria that has been now set by Axis for the free Magnus + Burgundy. The new Burgundy account the you opened for your sister also qualified for this offer? Also is this FYF or LTF?

In my opinion, I think axis will put a spend based condition for certain features on the card, if they DO decide to give Magnus LTF to Burgundy holders. Currently the Select card for Burgundy is LTF, however international lounges access requires spends to be done in the first year to get the renewal in the next year.Then issuing a card LTF would make sence as it will be spend based to avail features on the card.

Is it worth paying 59000 for the burgundy private card to get 5:4 conversion ratio and 0 forex charge?
Currently it gives 15 edge points (12 partner points/miles) on every 200 spend.

Or would it be better to take the Atlas card?

A True Burgundy Customer without magnus. Magnus is reflecting as preapproved but with INR 12500 fees so can confirm Magnus is not LTF for now , no idea about future.
Select is showing as LTF

For me even Select is showing paid .. being a "true" Burgundy account holder since December

You get Burgundy Private card complimentary with Burgundy Private relationship with Axis Bank. If your Burgundy Private relationship is being discontinued, you'll have to pay 59K but it doesn't make sense to pay that amount unless you have heavy international spends. You cannot apply for Burgundy Private card separately.

I've asked my Axis Credit Card Contact (who's specialises in 'Bury-gandhee') to check with his seniors and get back to me with clarity.

I hope to add to the confusion as soon as he reverts.

Magnus card is not going to be free under any circumstances whatsoever
that is clearly mentioned in the terms and conditions.
You have to be pay joining and renewal fees for Magnus even if you have a Burgundy savings account

 

[CC-Muncher]

Burgundy private card will be free as long as you maintain the burgundy relationship of 30 lacs fixed deposits or 10 lakhs in savings account or higher amounts in total relationship value.

Magnus card is not going to be free under any circumstances whatsoever

You have to be pay joining and renewal fees only for Magnus

Not true! Its free with burgundy

This is incorrect. There is a Burgundy relationship and there is Burgundy Private relationship Please review once and you'll get the idea.
