Just Posting the last communication from Axis. I have escalated it to PNO and today have looped in RBI as well.. Lets see where it goes. As per this email they will upgrade mine only post October OGS is generated.

Dear Mr. XXXXXX,

Thank you for writing to Axis Bank.

This is with reference to your e-mail dated 11/10/2023 at 4:51 PM.

We understand that you wish to upgrade your existing Axis Bank Magnus Visa Credit Card ending with 9419 to Axis Bank Magnus Burgundy Credit Card based on your Burgundy account/relationship. We regret the inconvenience caused to you.

We wish to inform you that, if you recently have opened the Burgundy account with us then you need to wait for two months One Glance Statements (OGS) to be generated with eligible criteria.

As you confirmed that, only one month One Glance Statement (OGS) has been generated with eligible average balance so, we request you to wait till the next One Glance Statement (OGS) is generated i.e for Oct' 2023 month.

Their email to to you says they need atleast two OGSs.

The new TnC pdf in the same mail says three OGSs required with 10L AQB.
Lol.

I wonder, like someone mentioned, if 30L TRV needs minimum 45 days of eligibility, that would need two OGSs for one to become eligible.

Pathetic Buffoons.

PS:
My 3rd OGS will arrive in November.
Hopefully that’ll make me eligible from 10L AQB angle.
 
Axis does something to its users/customers - I am not sure what.

There was a thread where a Magnus user was charged for using Kolkata lounge and many people on that thread tried defending Axis by blaming the lounge/Dreamfolks and pounced on the user for not being careful. I was confused.

And then, we have this thread where people are so passionate about getting M4B that they have literally gone begging for it. It is just a credit card, it doesn't define you, but people seem to be obsessed with getting it and getting it LTF. If a user is a true user of a super premium card, I doubt he/she will worry about a 12-14k of annual fee!

I have Infinia / Atlas and between them, I get enough reward points to not make me feel I am losing out. Rather, I am fairly confident that total reward points from Infinia and Atlas combo are better than M4B. People need to calm down and plan their credit card journey.

We are not begging for it. We are highlighting the Fraud. By not raising an alarm against a Fraud is in itself a crime

I think the two key terms are LTF and limited period.

If there is limited period LTF offer for infinia, I believe there would be similar craze.
 
Whenever I’ve called Burgundy support, they’ve told me I am not eligible, since I am not a True Burgundy.

They could have atleast added those holy words in the new pdf.

Also in the FAQs, while clarifying about which kind of Burgundy relationship makes one eligible for M4B, they haven’t included 1 Cr. TRV. (Page 7)
While 1 Cr. TRV is considered an eligibility for Burgundy Relationship in Page 2.

10L - 3 OGS
30L - 2 OGS
3L Salary - 1 OGS

That’s how simple they could have made it, on July 26th when the first pdf was released.

Best Digital Bank.

Lulz.

My perspective diverges slightly. To illustrate, I currently hold 45,000 points awaiting redemption and anticipate the addition of 25,000 points as part of the August milestone, resulting in a total of 70,000 points. In situations where I meet all the specified criteria yet do not receive an upgrade, the redemption value is halved, owing to the 5:2 ratio, a circumstance I wish to avoid. It is explicitly stated that from September 1st, a burgundy customer will maintain the ratio of 5:4, which I do not want to miss.
