Recent events will just shine a BIG spotlight on the much-awaited Infinia Reserve. But it will remain very exclusive. Probably very high ITR(>50LPA) or a very high limit and spend history on Infinia. XD

Everyone I just found an amazing new card! The NEW METAL MAGNUS - ALL BLACK SO SWAG. It also comes Lifetime Free. For them you can apply via NINJA mode (No Income No Job & Asset) 🙃

On hindsight, we should rather thank Axis Bank for bringing the sanity back to credit card system in India. Good job Axis Bank.

Transfer where you already have some points to bunch them together for better redemption.

is one card good ?

No clue. I just saw this ad on Amazon.

OneCard is an i10 being marketed as a Ferrari. It's an entry level card so no high expectations. Apart from low forex markup and some occasional offers on Swiggy and Zomato, not of much use. Reward rate is pathetic as well. Metal is the USP of this card. Can also be used to rub back at times. 😛

If you have points you can transfer to United. They have decent redemption options out of India to Europe - though Turkish may be cheaper if you can get the seat.

Even for infinia reserve you will find jugaad to get ltf or fyf and even this card will get devalued after 2 or 3 yrs. Those who get it first make merry and last ones get trapped. What ever you do for commission anything can happen. You can't stop a backend team colluding with agency or branches colluding with cards team or agents. Just like how human resource team of all companies can't keep their hands clean and one must have observed they readily accept consultants candidate and rarely a good candidate referred by employee as company needs to pay whereas consultants share the funds which even VP of Hr are involved story same.

I transferred all existing points to accor (new magnus user, so had about 25k).. i have pending may, June milestone benefits + 50k of accelerated ER pending. Was hoping to use everything on Accor for my planned eurotrip in October. My wife was so excited about getting free stays when she finally understood the wholw ER game ( she found the whole thing too complex before the eurotrip planning ).

Idk if axis is going to honor 5:4 for the pending points, don't have much hope to be honest.
