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

Yesterday i got the Magnus burgundy then i called Customer care to ask about the add-on card.the executive told me that the existing add on card will work as it is and the benefits will be credited to the primary card.i said cool then i asked him some more queries , at the end of call i asked him again to reconfirm about the add on card.he said wait then he spoke with his supervisor and this time he told that i will be getting a new add on card shortly in few days.so on same call with same person i got 2 different answers for a question.

One more thing i asked him what would happen to my existing card? will it be blocked as I have activated the new card? he told me that the old card is already blocked and i don't have to be worried about it. but this morning I got the auto-debit message on the old card which i am using it for a subscription on one of the websites.so the old card is also working fine contrary to what he told me

Old card will work for 45 days. Add on card will be received in few weeks.

I had opened my salary Burgundy account in August and had my salary deposited there in September. Called the number given on Axis communication and they said I was not eligible for the new Magnus card. I wonder what is different between mine and other salary accounts who are able to get the new Magnus card??

According to customer care, they are unable to upgrade magnus for all burgundy salary accounts (their systems don't show 'true burgudy' based on salary credit). They said they are fixing the systems and will be able to process in next couple of days.

How to request it?

 

[mastfun]

Okies, I met the zonal officer today He happened to be from my native!

1. To get Burgundy Magnus: AQB , Salary and TRV all eligible.
2. For accounts opened after August , wait for 45 Days and request one glance statement from RM (Applicable for all AQB,Salary and TRV)
3. The check is every 6 months and the fee will be debited without notice and cannot be reconverted to LTF as it's limited time offer.
4. The Family AQB is not eligible, his suggestion was to put all the money into 1 account id and the rest is anyway 0 balance accounts.

Let me know if u need clarification on any points with respect to Burgundy Magnus in general not account level please.

5A. Any idea what is the measure for Old Burgundys please?

Same maintain AQB 10L/Salary/30L TRV.

Before we parted, He said all the 5:4 transfers will be visible only after Mid October as they are waiting for most of the customers to upgrade and transfer calculation is tedious.

I meant cooling period.

 

[Sharjeelshaikh]

Axis grabdeal is giving 5x on croma and 2x on gyftr but I heard 5 x grabdeal is not getting credited on time is this true?

 

[mastfun]

I meant cooling period.

Same 45 days

 

[mastfun]

Forgot to mention one more thing He said don't transfer 30L and try to be be TRV as u might feel u got Magnus burgundy with 30L and u will have that locked with Axis... He said with 10L AQB it's possible, and asked me to talk to BM and he/she will do it !

 

[SM24]

Same 45 days

Hmm.

I’ve crossed the 60 day window.

In which case, I should give it another shot once One Glance is generated.

Does your previous One Glance statement ( Aug month) show that you have maintained the TRV or AQB or Salary deposit etc.. If yes then you should escalate if no then we have to wait.
One Glance Statement for Sept month is still not Generated. One can check under accounts with option of Consolidated Statement. Once this is generated you can check with Customer care. It should work. If not then once 45 days( since account opened with Criteria met) is over you should check. If they say no even then you can drop an email to Premium Service.

Iam anticipating that automated emails will be triggered in 1- 2 days post One Glance statemens is generated for people who opened account in Aug or before and meeting the criteria
