YES FOR DEC ON JAN 5 TO 7 FUND

Ogs will generate on that time but funds must be within 30th of this month

Got it, thanks!

See they are least bothered about AQB they generate OGS and in that nothing like AQB you get balance and other things in it so one month ogs is sufficient.

Only if the average monthly balance mentioned in the OGS is more than 30 Lakhs , then only one meets the AQB criteria of 10 Lakhs for the Oct/Nov/Dec quarter (based on just one OGS statement ) , as the Burgundy account was opened only in the month of November. AQB is calculated by averaging the AMB mentioned in the three months OGS in a calendar quarter , though it is not specifically mentioned in the OGS statements. But RMs are able get relaxation in these criteria much more easily now , than how it was earlier in October/November.

You don't need RM to ask for approval etc. just ask branch to generate ogs for you and they will generate and you can give that to cc ofline guy and he will process it for burgundy magnus.

People who opened new Axis account for Burgundy, did you start the process online or did it via branch offline?

 

[BhavyaDoshi]

Should I ask for burgundy account upgrade after I have reached 30L TRV and OGS generation of that month?

I visited the branch today and requested for an upgrade but they said that they cannot upgrade if the TRV is not maintained in the last month

Can someone please confirm it?

For Upgrade, funding must be 10L can be done if funds in your ACC is 10L

I opened a basic account online and all upgrades it was done offline so in my case my account shows till the date acc was opened online and I get from both online and offline support

I already have upwards of 10L, but they are denying as there is no offer of account upgrade on the app

it's not about the offer here you can say them to take a manual request form and upgrade the account, they are time-wasting with you and suggest you to ask another branch

I’ll try with another branch

Generally most axis branch ppl have no clue. You need to route this via a good RM.

You can upgrade existing savings account to Burgundy account by giving the attached migration form to the Burgundy RM or still better - Branch Manager. And it will be done in 2 to 3 days. You need to maintain AQB or TRV after migration to meet the eligibility criteria.

Which method you used to get Magnus Burgundy card for you , in one month ?

 

[nagr22]

I finally got my BM card approved and I can see the BM points quota in Travel Edge portal. I am yet to receive the card in hand and I have neither unboxed it from the app. But strangely, the BM points quota shows 8321 points (Odd number 🙄) and my ER points balance is intact with no change. I am confused now about how I received BM points without activating the card and how to transfer the odd number of points and make BM balance zero? Anyone else faced this problem?

There is some change in the travel edge interface today for converting points. Even for me the same number of points in ER is showing in BM bucket also, though I haven't spent anything on it . And the points to be transferred is default from BM bucket now ! Just wait for a day or two as this could be a bug.

 

[mastfun]

Lol, I suddenly see 22K points in my Magnus bucket even without spending a lot 🙁


My transfer is with Magnus now 😀 Cannot use EDGE Reward Points

 

[MilesMax]

Does the points transaction history shows MB points seperately as well?
I only see it for ER points & Edge miles.
ER - points earned by you
EM - Miles earned by you

Do you see something else for MB points?

There is some bug in traveledge.
I have not made any spends on M4B card yet. But still it shows 44k points on MB bucket.
I just transferred 10k points to see, it was debited from ER bucket itself not MB bucket.

I activated the Magnus Burgundy Card yesterday. Haven't made a single transaction on it. I still see 72 MB points.
Also the transfer option for me has changed from Edge Reward to MB which ideally shouldn't have happened. This 72 MB points credit has spoiled it for me. Any way I can transfer the ER points now?
