Premium secondary card to replace Magnus

[jar89]

Hello

I am using Diners black as my primary card and Magnus as secondary where Diners is not accepted.

Now with the devaluation am planning to close Magnus as the bookmyshow and meet and greet services are discontinued.
I was already planning to drop this card with the previous devaluation and now i have decided to leave this card for good.

I am looking for a premium card as secondary option.
Please suggest few.

Primary requirements:
Should have lounge access(dom & intl)
Should have book my show offers
Decent rewards/return%

TIA

You can consider :

1. Yes marquee
2. SbI elite

Alternatively, I'd also recommend sticking to diners for your majority of spends and then getting the eazydiner signature card for BMS and domestic lounge

I would assume you know about INFINIA and can't get your hands on it and hence the question

My existing limit is 7L. So they denied Infinia.
I have spends of 7.5 L against past 6 months though.

So infinia is out of question for the time being.

And regarding eazydiner signature that gives only upto 200 discount if am not wrong, and sbi elite only 250, whereas magnus gave me 500. So i need an alternate option that gives 500 or above.

Yes Marquee is a good option as u suggested. Thx for that.

Yeah in that case, Yes marquee would be the best for you.

It offers bogo upto 800

Plus unlimited int lounge

Which one? Are indus cards worth it?

Poor reward rate, bad customer service and very very few bank offers these days.

I considered upgrading my legend to Pinnacle but find it very hard justifying the initial 15k joining fee. Rewards rate is very poor.

Holding the legend purely for indus offers ( rarely seen any nowadays)

Then put 1 lakh in fd increase limit to 8 lakh and try via that.

Will that work 😳.. i asked my RM and he said it doesnt work that way

It all depends on where u coming from .
Everything is good & bad .

There are some PPL in forum who will defend axis to its core
Someone who bitch about the same .


Indus cc+ their zero hni account is nice

 

[Vasuki]

Axis had its peak with magnus and it was great , not defending axis but rewards were unrealistic and was bound to get devalued.

With indusind, which card do you think is worth? HNI account might be good but only if you need one

I kind of disagree on this, maybe because I'm more reward rate focused and not lifestyle benefit focused.

Most of the benefits you mentioned you can easily get on other cards with much lower fees such as unlimited lounge + BMS offer on marquee.

More importantly, celesta comes with a joining fee of 50k, indulge with a JF of 2L, pioneer heritage is probably the exception for what it offers but then again , super high JF and annual fee.

Unless you're offered these free of with a very low JF based on your relationship with the bank, I don't see how they are worth

That's why I find it super hard justifying what you're paying for.

you asked for a card that catered to the perks magnus gave you
all these indus cards do the same
if it suits you go for it

Thx for all the suggestions.
How about ICICI Emeralde card as replacement for Magnus.

I am weighing between Yes Marquee and ICICI Emeralde now.
