Nope, I maintain neither TRV nor 10L savings. And my company doesn't have any tie-up with Axis. It's just that my salary comes in Axis Bank. And Axis upgraded my account to Burgundy salary account by themselves without me requesting for it a few months ago.
Click to expand...
Right...So I'm in the same situation with a Burgundy salary account but the customer care support told me that the Burgundy account and TRV are explicitly two different things here.

To have a Burgundy account, you can have 10L AQB across savings/current account or 30L TRV or 1CR TRV including Demat holding or 3L+ salary account or Inward remittance for at least 40L. However, in the case of the Magnus card for Burgudy, they explicitly need the TRV requirement which is 30L or 1CR.

While on call today they sent me the consent link and I entered the OTP as well for the upgrade, but just while doing that I enquired if I would be charged for this card, and then she confirmed this difference. Also, if you have already given the consent through the link and do not maintain the TRV, then your card will be downgraded to normal Magnus and will also be charged Rs12.5k + GST during the system's automatic check (once in 3/6 months)

Lol...I don't know what is Axis after and why so many incoherent statements. I was told none of it and I confirmed the same. Also, this is the SMS I got from Axis today. Clearly says NIL joining and NIL Annual fees. And the CC representative told very clearly that as long as I satisfy the criteria outlined (3L+ salary in my case), the Card would continue to be LTF.

Why would they even let me apply for upgraded Magnus when I am not meeting the criterion in the beginning itself as per your representative :)

Because they want you to maintain TRV to use this card. In case you don't maintain it, they will just charge 12.5k+GST and downgrade back to Magnus. It's a really cheap trick for Axis that they are just doing wordplay here. Even in the circular that came out last night, they keep mentioning Total Relationship Value so many times instead of just Burgundy relationship.

The customer care clarified this. Burgundy Relationship is an umbrella term and for this card, you can enroll but then need to maintain strictly the TRV not just burgundy status. Was with them for about 50 mins to clearly understand all this wordplay. I also got this link but didn't give my consent as I don't have this TRV as of now.

I still don't think a bank like Axis will do; specially the downgrade thing. Not about the money but the trust. But just in case they do, it is bye-bye Magnus :)
Don't trust anyone and dil pe nahi lene ka. Just move on (talking to myself :D ) .

Perfect, thank you. My account got activated on 4th September and balance of 10 lacs was maintained from day 1. So hopefully, i might be eligible after 4th October, as you suggest.

Do let us know when you call. I just called them and they said the same thing that you are not eligible and a TRV of 30 lacs is required. I didn’t feel like arguing with him and disconnected the call soon.
