I just now called customer care for both Magnus and Reserve. They said that there is no such update on your card and was asking me the source of such info. Rest assured me that the card works as-is as before, no devaluation.
Note: I called on Sunday as well, they confirmed me the devaluation.

Then i called the sales person who helped me get magnus. He said sir, aisa kuch bhi nai hai, bank apko notify karega aisa kuch hone se, aap tension mat lijiye.

Now my views: Axis who previously wanted to devalue, seeing the drop in the transactions have definitely revisited their strategy. I think now they shall come up with caps instead of straight away devaluating it.
 
I came here to know whether the card is evaluated or not, because I’m tired of speculating on this topic. If you have the card, enjoy it. Hurrah! If not, live your life with Magnus until the sunset closes on Magnus. It will happen someday, unfortunately, but I hope it’s not this year.
 
I had applied for Magnus couple of days back at airport.
The agent messaged me that the rumors are true and that he will call me with the changes. If I agree then only he will process the application.

But today he messages that the benefits of Magnus are same and he will process my application today.
Should i go ahead with the application or not ?
Currently I have DCB & SBI Vistara prime.

Maybe wait for a week and see
 
Just met some Axis agents manning a counter in Vega City Mall, Bengaluru.

They said the devaluation is put on hold for now.
Until few days back they too apparently kept telling customers that devaluation is coming soon.

They showed me a message from their supervisor which said something like
‘Please tell customers Magnus benefits remain the same’.

It seems the roll back was because Reserve customers took up the matter with Axis.

S&M
 
They might have put this on hold. It is a question of “when” they will devalue this. So take this as a learning and keep moving points to partner of choice. Also have a backup plan soon as this will eventually end for a few. The government and utility will be removed soon and that kills the card for me. So evaluate the possibilities and keep a backup plan.
 
Ideally other than Travel edge, it is now risky to accumulate accelerated rewards which credit after 120days as we don't know when their value will be diminished.. I am planning to prioritize only spends with immediate edge points disbursement and avoid spends whose returns will be good only with accelerated rewards

Same here!
Got this card last month mainly for utility and government payments🥲
If you have any other card which rewards on such payments,please tell me too!
