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

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.

Please add more funds to ensure AQB from 1st Sep to 31st Sep comes above 10 lacs. You have to take care of the 3 days of September as well..
Also dont curse me if that doesnt happen. As i feel they are checking One Glance.. But 45 days is sure shot confirmed

 

[K.R]

So that comes on the 4th of every month to the email, is it? Even my Burgundy account is new so I have not got one yet till now.

For me its just one month of Burgandy.. Jast time I received it on 4th Sep..so it will be around that time of the month

 

[drsel]

Yes. once you opened your account .infact the day your One Glance statement show average of 10 lacs you should call. The statement will come on 4th October, I will call post that and let you guys know. My last statement show 10 lacs balance but average balance was 1.56 lacs as I opened the account on 28th Aug. so for September the AQB will be way above 10 lacs

Where can you see your AQB be on the Axis mobile app ?
I cannot see anywhere

 

[K.R]

Where can you see your AQB be on the Axis mobile app ?

In One Glance Statement it shows the Average Monthly balance for the Month. For New Customers they just need to see this 45 days of Burgandy relationship to be eligible for Magnus for Burgundy

 

[drsel]

I just received email of my statement from first April 2023 till today and the balance is showing more than 10 lakh
But nowhere is AQB mentioned

 

[drsel]

In One Glance Statement it shows the Average Monthly balance for the Month. For New Customers they just need to see this 45 days of Burgandy relationship to be eligible for Magnus for Burgundy

I cannot see one glance anywhere on mobile app to click

 

[K.R]

It's a monthly statement which you will receive on your registered email at the start of the month

I just opened my Axis Bank monthly statement which came on 25th September and I cannot see the word AQB mentioned anywhere.
Average quarterly balance is not showing at all.
Nor is One Glance

My Burgundy account is many years old and having 3 lakh+ salary. Currently i have high aqb (just due to some circumstances) but I don’t intend to keep more than 5 lakh aqb so just wanted to be sure before upgrading. Don’t want to get downgraded once my balance goes down. Net salary of 3+ i will continue to fulfill for Burgundy so want to be sure if that alone enough to get Burgundy Magnus for zero fees.

My last statement received on 25 September shows the transaction still 31 August when my account was easy access.
It does not mention the average quarterly balance.
Below Lien amount is the IFSC code and MICR code, but not average quarterly balance

If you have converted to Burgandy..wait for next week for your One Glance statement. It will have the Average Monthly balance

 

[drsel]

So as per this we one has 3 lakh+ salary credit, 10 lakh aqb or 30 lakh trv is not required?

Since my 10 lakh balance is only since last 6 days, will it help to expedite the
AQB 10 lakhs if I transfer another 10 or 15 lacs

 

[drsel]

Now when will I get a Burgundy kit containing Burgundy debit card, check book and passbook?
what about the free Select card?
do I have to phone and ask for the lifetime free Select card or will it come in the Burgundy kit?
