MAJOR UPDATE

The story continues....
Read on to know more on the updates.

As you guys might already know before opening this thread. Yes, its my 1st metal credit card. And Magnus.

I know I am a little late in this game. And after the recent devalue of this card, I was going to skip it. But the thought of owning my 1st metal card was too much, so I went ahead and got it.

This is a paid card, so nothing new that everybody have not seen before. I just want to share the news and some unboxing pix with my fellow TFians.

I applied on 30th Nov 23. I already own axis airtel cc, so the process was easy and quick. Within 3 to 4 min, the virtual card was showing in my account. Its on Mastercard World platform.

As of today 3rd Dec 23, I got the card in my hand, with the Priority Pass card as well.

I have read all about this card for sometime now. But I would request fellow magnus card users, to let me know some tips on using this card efficiently. Like, best ways to max earn reward points, and best ways to max redeem the points as well.

Thank you for reading !
Here are some unboxing pics.

Usne bola sir karwa lijiye ye card bahut aacha hai. kaam aayega aur aap 11 months mein use karke account close karwa dena. Mein to emeralde se hi khush tha. Ab ye naya locha. 😅
 
So ... should i keep this as it is.
Or should i take it further ? I don't think there would be much difference in their replies regarding this.

What you all suggest ?

guess it was a printing mistake.
Unless they had specified there won't be annual fees while applying you cant complain RBI for misselling.

Anyways you will be getting joining fees worth voucher, use it for an year and try it at the end of the year to make it LTF using this

Peace vs unrest.. choice yours
I will be using this card as I have plans and ways to use it already. And I am already ok with the charges.

It won't go 25L+ yrly spend. But will surely see at end of the year, it depends on the bank. So i think its best to just let the printing error go and be happy that I got this card to use.

Wise man ..
 
Travel edge portal showing indigo int flight price almost same as direct, mmt and yatra. But checkin baggage is showing 20kg on travel edge, instead of 30kg, which is showing in all other websites with same date, and flight no.

And only 1 category - Saver.
There are saver, flexi, and super 6e. I wanted to choose the flexi category, with free seat+meal+date change. Travel edge dont have that facility to choose category.

Called travel edge helpline, they said, whatever you see on travel edge portal, is what you get.

Looks like I have no other option but to skip travel edge portal completely.

No indigo vouchers on gyfrt and grabdeals. Mmt and yatra vouchers can be used on full price + no coupons only.

Any other options ?
 
And yesterday, called axis for welcome vouchers, after checking my cc, usne bola, sir aapka to free card hai na. I said, yes, its free, but i pay joining fees, so i will get welcome benefits.

Then she put me on hold, come back and said, sorry sir, now its showing you have paid card, both joining and annual fee applicable, so you will get the welcome benefits. Please wait 1 -2 days more and you will get sms from our side.

Bahut confusion hai 🤷‍♂️

Just bough jockey voucher @ 5% discount + 5x points from gyfrt. Did shopping at jocket/in as well. Worked out smoothly. Will get delivered in 2 days.

It says the 5x reward will get credited within 120 days. How much time exactly in real earth days ?
 
Clicked on this thread, wondering why would anyone celebrate getting a classic Magnus in December 2023, not expecting this roller coaster ride.

Went through the thrill of discovering a possibly accidental Magnus LTF, which is still very desirable.

Then got disappointed that the story didn't turn out the way we all hoped.

At the end realised OP is truly a prince at heart, he doesn't care about LTF after all.

Enjoy your metal card @PrinceHeart!
