Magnus to Magnus Burgundy

[magnusfan]

I never thought I will ask this:

Background:
I was somehow downgraded from MB to Magnus few months back. I fought for the undue downgrade - wrote many emails but now give up (not a topic for discussion right now).

I have about 70k points left and Magnus (paid) is due for renewal in mid December. I don't have any tier balance left to transfer to Accor for this year.

I am not keen on retaining Magnus, had it not been the points. Post MB devaluation, I had transferred my spend to Infinia, Amex travel and SBI Air India Signature

Help requested:
Requesting a poll on my options..

Update: Thanks for the opinions basis which I have now cancelled the card (which used to give 25% returns straight and along with it came the fantastic holidays!) Blah..blah..blah...

But no regrets - I am happy with 13% on Infinia..

I will also close my salary burgundy account and time to move on from Axis!

I will hardly use it, I guess...
For spends above 1.5 lakhs, it will give about 14% (and x1.8 on Accor) but Infinia gives 13% cash equivalent for most spends via Apay...

But how much Apay are you able to procure per month? It is a small amount considering annual spending isn’t it?

I spend about 60k via Apay every month (school fees for 2 kids, electricity and like, most insurances)

Why exactly were you downgraded from MB to Magnus? Did you not maintain true Burgundy status?

Can you help to answer this (I believe many other have this doubt): once you were downgraded, was the fees charged immediately on the new Magnus downgraded card? Like is it free for 1 year or how it works exactly?

I was a true Burgundy - still am.. actually, salary mostly increases year on year, luckily for all of us 🙂

Pathetic Axis guys just don't have any explanations - I wrote several times to Amitabh Chaudhry - whose team is always regret the inconvenience caused to me... but don't have an answer! I gave up on them since it's like wasting time!

The fees were not charged after downgrade.

The fees were not charged after downgrade.

Does the card number changes and you get a new card kit after downgrade?

Also, what I am thinking is if you were downgraded around december 2023 because you mentioned your renewal is in mid december for paid magnus but Magnus Burgundy came in October only so you got downgraded from M4B to Magnus within 2 months?😵‍💫

If I am correct then it means that whenever we get downgraded from Magnus Burgundy to Magnus, we get 12months before we need to pay annual fees. Cool.
