what are the card you are talking about.
Can you share which cards you applied?
I have SC smart, HDFC Infinity Neu, IDFC wealth and BOB Eterna. Now I plan to add hdfc millennia and/or sbi cashback for those 5% cash backs. I would also see if I can switch to secondary android device and get Axis Ace.

Note: For me, 1 lakh milestone was possible due to school fees, e-commerce shopping, electricity bills, fuel via Fastag and HP Pay (government spend). Now all of these except education and shopping are gone. With these left, I cannot use 1 lakh milestone so easily.
 
Post Magnus devaluation: 😛

Bangkok jaane wale ab Bodh Gaya jayenge
Madrid jaane wale ab Meerut jayenge
Paris jaane wale ab Patna jayenge
Aur London jaane wale ab Lucknow jayenge
Haan lekin Bangkok Pattaya ka replacement karne ke leeye modiji ko kafi liberal hona padega. Pr0stitution is a huge revenue stream that the current (previous) govts are/have ignored.
 
Modi Ji is also concerned with the devaluation of the Magnus card. He is extremely sad and disappointed with the Axis bank senior management . Will address the issue in the upcoming Mann Ki Baat episode.

Also, FM Nirmala Sitharaman Ji expressed her anger towards Axis Bank stating that this will impact the country’s $5 trillion GDP goal and the rise in unemployment as many were self employed surviving on Magnus card.
 
Isn't post devaluation magnus still better than other cc's as long as you hit all the milestones? (assuming you are a miles and points person and avoid credit statements)

As far as axis is concerned this is an HNI card and if you are truly HNI, hitting the milestone isn't that hard, so this all just seems like an activity to filter out non HNI magnus holders. Ideally they would devalue slowly but my guess is they got their audit & P&L reports and shit hit the roof, so they had to put a stop immediately. I really wish they had closed the loopholes sooner and we could live in luxury for a little longer.

Yes. But it is too much of a hassle to wait for months for your ER. Too much trouble for a 7-8% return.
 
Looks like Axis may have put their devaluation plans on hold. Hope they are brewing up something more favourable. XD
It was all crap, but everyone laughed at me 😄They will do 4 things for now.

1. Segregate ER points based on card
2. Devalue Magnus to 5:2
3. Devalue reserve to 5:3
4. Exclude government spends especially taxes from earning rewards
 
Yes. But it is too much of a hassle to wait for months for your ER. Too much trouble for a 7-8% return.
Agreed it's a pain to wait, although using magnus for the past year I just got used to looking at points as something on a rolling basis, apne aap aate rahenge 😉
I think this Deval is more annoying than others because they had such unrealistic returns lol, going back to 7-8% just breaks everyone's heart
 
Now as the news are spreading that "Magnus Changes goes in hold till further communication" and the management is taking some time to arrive at final decision.

It is high time for all the users here in TF community and their acquittances who hold Magnus card to stop spending using Magnus completely for next few days. I guess all the Magnus holders are smart enough to hold other credit cards as backup. Anyways whatever spent using Magnus will eventually results in penny's after few months. So why not boycott Magnus economically. With this small change, crores of Magnus spent will become lakhs and eventually thousands. If this will affect their business then Axis need to rethink & revise the card.

Signing petitions or spreading hate messages socially on twitter will have a little base as how Axis won't really find the genuinity of Magnus users. Anyone can sign petitions, no identity no restriction at all & social media has no face.

Devaluation is imminent it is bound to happen, Axis is not doing charity that all of us know. But the level of such rumored devaluation will murder the Magnus leaving only few users to renew. So why not stop using Magnus now. I had stopped spending, and returning to older 5% cards, the rewards will be otherwise given by devalued Magnus cards.
Well said

Hehe that's right. But again 7-8% is considering you hit 1l/month(12L/year) and exclude the annual fee. If you hit the fee waiver(15L) your return would be <6.5%, which is still nothing to complain about. You could get higher returns by segregating your spends across various cards, but it's so much simpler to hold just 1-2 cards and manage them.

Agreed. Life was simpler with pre Deval magnus
