what is the use of points.i have 275000 points in Edge rewards and 800 in Magnus burgundy.if axis doesn't fix the bug before 20th April these will be of no use.i

Just redeem pizzahut voucher for 1000 points and burgundy points will be cleared. Then you can transfer all. Was facing the same issue and this idea came and it worked.

Go to the main rewards portal on netbanking. Go to profile once you login on desktop site. There you will see edge rewards. Click there and a new page will open where you can redeem points for instant vouchers and other products.

Congratulations to all those who fell for Axis' great Magnus for Burgundy scam. You've been served! 😂

Actually nothing much has changed with M4B for profile for which the card is targeted. For 2L points in Group A, one needs to spend 15 lacs, which is anyways high. Anyways there is group B to use points. Someone with 10 lacs balance will have other cards for BOGO and lounge offer.

The most awesome features of 5:4 remains. Plus 5x on edge travel and 35 points on spend above 1.50 lac stays.

Even cards like Infinia doesn't give Meet and greet etc.

Magnus for Burgundy is not too bad. It's just the extra parts that have been devalued. Didn't find much value in them anyway.

BMS BOGO remains unused because so many cards. M&G is useless on Bangalore airport (just a porter). Guest Access on priority pass is again good enough for 4 visits.

2L Edge points required 10L+ spends even if u do it in single month, 30L+ otherwise. So, even this cap is not affecting me.

No rewards in fuel, insurance and jwellery was again expected and long due.

I am happy that they targeted people with spends in 30L+ and didn't touch the core reward rate.

Two things ! I used card mainly for BOGO, it's of no use for me now! I am a family of 4 people(Me, wife and 2 kids) so 1 meet and greet will exhaust it 🙂 And finally my monthly spends doesn't cross even 1L on this card. So the points accumulated will be very less. And more over skipping interest on 10L makes it useless for me!

Why are you keeping 10 lakhs in bank account? You are losing money to inflation. Instead do 30 lakhs FD.

As for meet and greet, you'll have to adjust back to the time when this facility wasn't available.

True even I renewed Magnus just last month because of BOGO offer and Meet and Greet and both the offers have gone away.

The card has already been useless since last September, only BMS and Meet & Greet were the features holding me back to renew it and I sadly renewed it.

Anyways for all other spends I have Infinia which still remains awesome, but still the renewal money paid is hitting hard

Have a trip next month and have booked three meet and greet services just few mins back, let me vasool at least some amount🤣

Axis just keeps falling to new depths

After Sep 23 devaluation, i thought magnus had become a stable product with decent benefits

But now ,it just became absolutely useless

Would pay 10k+gst or worst 12.5k+gst for this rubbish

 

[Saarthak Parihar]

Magnus devaluation message received again. Not sure whether its for MB or not.
My magnus is not burgandy magnus.

Some of the features and Terms and Conditions on your Axis Bank Credit Card no. XXXX will be revised w.e.f. 20-04-24. For details, visit Axbk.in/XlbjqhvYXZq

Mine is Burgundy magnus, I got the message as well.

 

[Swastik]

Words cannot describe how bad I'm feeling right now ,

Magnus was my 1st Super Premium Card ,at a time when DCB or Infinia seemed beyond my reach(I've got separate beef with HDFC ,but that's for another thread) ,Axis gave me Magnus ,

And even after Sep 23 devaluation, i stuck with them because of non spend based benefits ,Lounge ,Meet and Greet ,Guest access etc

But now Axis has chopped off any reason to hold on to this card ,

And I'm shattered

I am not that rich 😀

Then you are not the target customer , on a lighter note 😂

Burgundy Magnus Deval Axbk.in/Xlw2kzdcdtF

Not of much use. Cumulative transfer on group A is only 2lacs which is less. They have clubbed all the top transfer to group A . No use of Magnus any more need to recalculate the strategy again

RIP Magnus ,
we had fun while it lasted ,but all good things must come to an end i guess
You were like dream ,too good to be true

 

[ishanmontella]

So, basically all the Magnus Burgundy customers would also be holding the Burgundy debit card, which still entitles them for BMS BOGO offer, and domestic lounge access (without any spend requirement). Am I right, or is there any devaluation of the Burgundy debit card as well?

You are correct.

The worst part is removing insurance and gold jewellery purchase from Base & accelerated points from MB.
