All these negative sentiments about Magnus...but I don't know any better credit card that gives rewards like Magnus for burgundy customer....correct me if I am wrong
How about SBI Cashback card. 5% cash in most spends .. Peaceful life .. no stress of devaluation .. (. Cash is the king .. ) .. Cash has less chances of devaluation compared to bank points .. may be hold true to Non-Burgundy account holder .. Burgundy Acc holder may be able to extract more then 5% from Magnus..
 
Y r u paying 2% extra, as per RBI they shouldn’t charge u extra for using card. Ask him to show him in bill that he is charging extra 2% for card usages . He will deny bcos if he gives and u raise a complaint at RBI that showroom’s all card mechanics will be blocked for ever on his business name and no new mechanism will be issued for him on the same business name.
that may be so; but then he can simply tell you "we don't accept cards" - there is no rule that says dealers must accept cards for any payment
 
A quick question:
I am travelling with my friend from Delhi T2 (Domestic) to BLR

I have magnus card (Loungue specified is New Delhi New Delhi Domestic T2 Lounge Domestic T2)
My Friend has HDFC regalia (Delhi New Delhi Encalm Lounge Domestic T2 Terminal 2)

I see PP issued by AXIS has Encalm Loungue , Can I use PP instead of checking into New Delhi Domestic T2 Lounge ? Will I be charged for it?

The worst thing is Encalm is not even listed in https://www.delhiairport.com/lounges-airport.php for T2

You are not wrong. there isn't any one single card apart from Infinia that can do better than Magnus (w burgundy) in all categories. Even Infinia doesn't at some scenarios.

You have to use a portfolio of cards. One for fuel, one for utility bills, one for govt payments etc. at places where Magnus doesn't reward you.
Other than that it's a still a solid card to keep for gyftr, travel and airmiles conversion.

Yes you will be charged. Don't use PP in domestic terminals that are not listed in the latest devaulation document.
Delhi is not one of them.

If you still badly want to access it, use credit cards which give you discounted rates. Many entry level cards offer discounted rates for entry. PP will straight up cost 2.2k ish.

According to the rules, Priority pass will be charged at all airports in India. It's only free outside India

Magnus burgundy 24% beats Infinia 14.5% on airtickets.
Also 4.8% vs 3.3% on non travel transactions.
For hotels I get 35% discount with Kotak
 
Now the main question for those who have Magnus without Burgundy--
will they get 5:2 or 5:1 ratio for the other cards in their portfolio ?

and Magnus with Burgundy--
will they get 5:4 or 5:2 or 5:1 for the other cards in their portfolio?
