5:4 is in effect. I can transfer all my edge points as 5:4 at the moment. Card is not even shipped yet and haven't activated it either 😛

This won't remain forever. In a day or two, there will be some rewards transferred to Magnus Burgundy which would be available at 5:4 transfer and remaining would be normal edge rewards. At least that's what happened to me and from what I read, to almost everyone. Apparently all the Bonus miles on grab deals, traveledge etc would get out of the MB bucket and would be classified as normal ER

As of now there is no way to convert the remaining ERs. I have not raised it with Axis so far as I am waiting for the August 25k Bonus to kick in. There was a clause of one time transfer to new MB bucket. Will follow up once I get my Bonus.

I did wish that I had transferred before the MB bucket kicked in, hence telling you. Though have a feeling we would get a chance for one time transfer still.
 
Already did 40k miles for krisflyer, a southeast asia mid feb trip is already planned, will do booking post crediting of these points. As I mentioned before, there system is soo buggy and stupid. It mentions non-burgundy yet giving 5:4 ratio lol:

My travel edge portal opens fine but can't seem to load the transfer miles page. It just keeps opening to blank page.

Yup, I am aware of this and that's why I converted all my edge rewards as of now without giving any second thoughts. I saw the tweets of the first few folks who got the card in September last week and faced exactly same way you described in your message and that's why my decision to convert is the best for now.

Yeah wait for a while, its slow after selecting the partner...
Meanwhile another friend of mine confirmed he also got 5:4, he also got the card upgraded yesterday evening. I suggest you all to transfer your ERs as of now to wherever you like to fetch 5:4 else you might be facing the issue which @unwind highlighted few posts up.

I only have travel edge 5x points as I don't use magnus except for travel edge. I also 30k Samsung welcome bonus. No grab deals / Gyftr etc. So, I should only worry about 30K not the rest?
 
it doesn't show me the option to select partner. When I click the burger button from top right to select Transfer Miles, it does something for few seconds (like javascript working) and then opens a blank page.
Please try waiting for a while. This is a site that is designed to test the patience for enjoying the rewards 🙂 This is the only site I have come across in recent times that takes upwards of half a minute upto a minute to load, on a 150Mbps line !!

Traveledge too. Mine were primarily traveledge points earned during the last week of August and credited in September. Small amount of non traveledge regular magnus ERs. And some debit card points earned on paying the credit card bills. After the bifurcation less than half came to MB bucket.

I am guessing traveledge bonus went into normal ER bucket. Debit card points were minimal and there were no grab deal/gyftr points for me too

All transferred. Not worth taking risks as it is Axis 🙂
 
I am personally using it from past 2months on PayZapp, just add your debit card there, then do credit card bill payment using axis burgundy debit card. But I heard even Mobikwik gives the ER, not sure about other apps but it should give as well.
I am also using payzap to pay hdfc credit card bills for one month , using Burgundy debit card and getting 1% ER points , which can be converted using 5:2 ratio to Airlines partners 👍
 
Accor last year in Nov had offer of 50% bonus. I am planning to wait for a few days to see if that same offer is back.
Was this applicable on travel edge transfers too? I don't know if this is the correct offer page from last year but it doesn't mention Axis/travel edge - https://all.accor.com/loyalty-program/promotions-offers/bonus-offers/get-50-bonus-on-your-bank-conversion.en.shtml

On another note, bad time for me to get upgraded to Accor Gold because I need to email travel edge to update my membership number before I can transfer. Not sure how long that is going to take.

I am already gold for last 2 months. I have been using the number that I got when I signed up for all transfers and it has been working well.

I noticed that the last letter in my membership number has changed since being upgraded. Did it change for you as well? Are you saying that despite the change transfer works to the old membership number?

My mem number has changed twice. Once when I got upgraded to Accor Plus and then when switched to gold. But I have been using the original mem number without issues.

Edit: I have transferred some points today as well. Lets see if they get credited. Last transfer was in Oct from Atlas and it was fine.
