Dont worry, Axis has made Magnus useless now anyways.

Is anyone getting ER points since 25th Jan?

 

[sourpai]

No … not getting any ER points for MB card since few days. Getting for DC and Select though. I believe some system upgrade is going on in the backend as per what @drsel reported

 

[kapsshah42]

All new rewards are getting credit in edge rewards in spite of using Magnus burgundy card whereas burgundy rewards are below 100.What to do?

 

[drsel]

No … not getting any ER points for MB card since few days. Getting for DC and Select though. I believe some system upgrade is going on in the backend as per what @drsel reported

Even we have not reward points on Magnus burgundy and Atlas since 25 Jan.
I think the points will start coming only after 8th of February.
What is DC ? debit card?

Yes Burgundy debit card…

 

[drsel]

Yes Burgundy debit card…

Do you get edge points if you use plain Burgundy debit card (not private) to pay credit card bills?

 

[Ravana_88]

Do you get edge points if you use it to pay credit card bills?

yes . 1% . I pay on mobikwick to get this

 

[drsel]

yes . 1% . I pay on mobikwick to get this

I mean the plain burgundy debit card which comes free with any burgundy savings account.
Do you get one percent points which is 0.8% return on paying axis credit card bills?

 

[Ravana_88]

I mean the plain burgundy debit card which comes free with any burgundy savings account.
Do you get one percent points which is 0.8% return on paying axis credit card bills?

yes . Mine is plain burgundy only ( got it due to salary criteria )

Do you get one percent points which is 0.8% return on paying axis credit card bills?

Yes we get 0.8% in the current scheme of things as long as you hold MB... I don't have RBL and Indusind debit cards. I use this only

 

[Riva]

Do you get edge points if you use plain Burgundy debit card (not private) to pay credit card bills?

You get 1% ER points when you pay bills using the burgundy debit card. I pay my hdfc and Citi cc bills using payzapp and have been getting the points.
You also get 100 ER points per month for credits of 1 Lac into the account up to 2 transaction in a month ie 200 ER points Max per month.

 

[Riva]

I just read the Burgundy magnus terms. LTF is not available now. For 30k plus joining fees, they are giving peanuts by giving Rs 5k voucher. They have just ruined the card now. I really doubt anyone will want to purchase for 305k with just 5k joining benefit.

https://www.axisbank.com/docs/default-source/default-document-library/credit-cards/magnus-credit-card-for-burgundy-faq.pdf

I don't know how they justify 30k as fees for this card!! It sure definitely is not worth 30k as fees with only 5k as joining benefits!

 

[amit]

which card from axis would u recommend post closing Magnus (except vistara,atlas,reserve)

 

[drsel]

which card from axis would u recommend post closing Magnus (except vistara,atlas,reserve)

The second best after Magnus Burgundy is Atlas 4--6% return on everything and 10 to 12% return on direct hotels, direct flights and traveledge.
Otherwise Axis Airtel is recommended
