Transfer before activation of MB, usually 5:4 activated around date of delivery of card. First transfer out points and then activate new card. I received card a couple days before, transferred out all the points first around 75K. Now will activate the MB card.

I did wiped out my existing points .... but 25K milestone received on 21st nov.

I’ve almost emptied my puraana balance.

I’m wondering if I even need the card now😁.

I wanted the card for 5:4 for the balance I had.

Now other than TE for air tickets I don’t see a real reason to hold on to the card.
Though TE is a good enough reason to keep the card.

i also emptied my puraana balance.... but 25K credited now and Gyftr-edgereward bonus 5X is yet to be credited for the month of AUG, SEP & OCT.

Doesn't seem like any extension in 30th November deadline,they are already telling me when I will be eligible it will be paid card 😩🤣.I don't know if people with new upgraded accounts got the upgrade why haven't I

 

[MilesMax]

Account ( I lost 30 days due to their mistake) DPRV and SPRV issue

Mine is still DBPRV, opened digitally back in Sept. I got the upgrade. I don't think that should have mattered.
It's very unfortunate that you passed all the eligibility requirements and they still couldn't provide the upgrade.

My transfer to Accor has failed twice. Anyone knows whats going on with Axis? lol

Should I split my transfers to small denominations

What mem number are you using? Use the original one that you got after creating the account. Try with a small amount to test.

Hi guys one quick question regarding reward points, monthly spends of more the 1,50,000/- the 35 points for every 200 spent.
When can we expect the points to be creadited.

And any one have the screenshot of the document where it’s mentioned regarding which category expenditure is covered or not for 35 points for every 200.
Thank you.

I did the same.

Tested.
Found ok.
Transferred bulk-ish.

Selling 360k Krisflyer miles @ Rs 1.2 each. Only trade in 150k or above.

Yeah...one month salary credit and one OGS should work

 

[shrekster]

Yes myself but not upgraded yet, called them morning itself, still November month calculation is not yet arrived, they have data upto October. Since today and tomorrow is holiday, may try on Monday again.

Anyone else experiencing this? 3 Meet and Greet bookings in the last 3 months departing from Mumbai Int on a weekend, all cancelled exactly a day prior.

Seems to me these VIP/M&G vendors only confirm within 24 hours before departure because it's the leftover capacity they couldn't sell so they release it to Axis. Pretty crappy experience, you cannot rely on this service! And from other threads people had similar experiences where they canceled the booking or once you arrive they turn a blind eye on you.

I tried adding old number to Axis Edge but it says that only 1 id can be linked. Can you share if you are able to link old id

Send an email to Traveledge.support@axisbank.com.
Please note the following scenarios:

1. If you have previously linked a number that differs from the one currently displayed on the frontend, the process will fail.
2. If you have previously linked a number and have been upgraded to a tier such as silver, gold, etc., and this number remains the same on the frontend, the outcome may vary. Initially, for the first few months, points transfer may be successful; however, it may fail afterwards.

To update your number, you can send an email to Traveledge. According to the Terms and Conditions, there is no waiting period for this update.

My membership was upgraded to Silver. Before September this year, I used to transfer Accor points to my old member id and it was always successful. After September, Axis purged all saved member IDs so when I transferred to Accor this week, I added my accor ID and it seems like the ID has changed.
I sent an email to their travel edge portal to update the same on their backend yesterday, but no response yet.
Phone support also said to send an email and they cannot update it from their end. Email is the only option

I was in the same boat as you till the purging.

I added back all my other ids, except Accor, because I was unsure which id to add (first one or the new one that got me silver).

I eventually (after getting M4B) added the first one and transferred 300 points.
Once it went through I transferred more.

My Qatar Airways account is connected to the first id.

I’m wondering if that had anything to do with the current success.
