I just had an Oh My Mod moment.
When some cards get devalued, Fintos were busy in moving their airmiles from Accor to whatever.
Now, I am fainting to move my posts to a safer place.

Anyways recovering from the shock I am backing my biopic stories here.

Sarcasm is the new orgasm

Every day there is a new thread on Magnus.

I was never interested in any of those super 'prem' cards as its a big mental load on me in earning and burning before expiry of points.
Still for a fellow Finto* I will try to help you by getting to the root of the issue by whatever the information I have gathered on these forums.

Let's analyze from the start.


Princess Magnus
A tale of passion, obsession and destruction

Chapter 1 : The Genesis of Magnus
The saga of Magnus starts like a fairy tale. Oh No !!! fairy tales have happy endings.
Let us just say it starts like a Shakespeare's love drama.

Like a typical love story that we have been listening for generations be in the west or in our India, the tale starts with a street urchin (awara or poor kid) as a hero wooing a princess in secrecy from her father.

Affair with princess Magnus is a financially draining one. The hero has to shell ~1.5L INR (monthly milestone) a month to meet her needs. Occasionally she needs pampering in 5 star hotels like Taj/Marriot (edge rewards redemption) and wants to fly.

In the first year, the hero some how managed meeting her expectations(FYF criteria) by pawning his possessions or money rotation. In the second year, when the hero is making plans for money, as the fate had it gets caught by the princess' father(Axis mails to justify txns). Lo ... the angry father who thinks the hero is not a suitable match to the princess separates them (devaluation).


Chapter 2 : Peaks of Obsession
The obsession for Magnus was so high that eligible bachelors wanted to marry Axis RMs demanding Magnus for dowry. Some even planned their destination weddings, honeymoon etc on Magnus for reward points.

As the Magnus obsession was going beyond anyone's control it had to be stopped for the sake country's sovereign security. The card was deemed a threat as someone in sensible positions might get honey trapped into it.


Chapter 3 : Getting out
Now coming to your question ...
Even though the story was same the fate of hero was different based on their mentality. These heroes could be grouped to 3 categories.
One - who moved on finding love in some other prem cards like Infinia. Heard that they still miss Bargundy and occasionally keep looking at it in deep thoughts. Seems this category is majority.
Two - who vowed celibacy (Brahmacharya Oath) of credit cards and not to use any cc in their life at all. This category is extreme minority.

Three - who still keep fighting and finding ways to get one.


Now the answer ...
You should move on like category one people. Support groups help in overcoming grief. May be BBPS (Burgundy Bhagna Premika Sangham - Burgundy Failed Lovers Society) or BaBu (Badhitha's of Burgundy - Victim's of Burgundy) societies are needed for this. Even if anyone is getting Magnus for Bargundy or whatever, be reminded the chameleon changes its color every quarter.



Appendix : Parting Poem
Saturday tharuvatha Sunday
Vesavilo yendalu manday
jeevitanni nasanam chesedi Burgunday


Poor translation/adaption of above :
After Saturday it's Sunday,
the next day is Monday,
financially destructing CC is Burganday.

Me who turned
Rusty nails into Knife , 😭
You have strong fixation for trains and knifes.

Study well and become a surgeon soon. I will make a biopic on you.

Chaku Chaku Train
train deal with it GIF

A small boy playing with rusty nails on railway tracks gets intrigued by the knives. Instead of becoming a daku(thief) with a chaku (knife), he becomes a surgeon with the same knife. Your college days will have stories like SBI CC that applied at railway station.

Now, the love track. doc goes to apply SBI CC Octane card. In the waiting room, the travel enthusiast @MrunalMehta was reading a travelogue. A gentle breeze makes the CC application fall to ground. While picking it, doc and Mrunal exchange glances. Tada !! love at first sight. No rain song or train song as I am a realistic director. Coincidentally the first fight between these lovers is also due to this railway station. Mrunal feels ignored as doc is more anxious and enthusiastic for an SBI verification call than from her.

The title of the story will be chook chook train 🔪 chaku chaku train 🚋

To have a global appeal, I can anchor @plastikman too somewhere in the story. He researches some plastic at western universities. Later you two will collaborate where you make affordable surgical knives from nails & trains and @plastikman 's plastic as handles to those.

Now all you have to do is
  1. study well to become a surgeon
  2. while at 1, take care of your health and looks as you will be hero of the movie. atleast don't get bald.
  3. find @MrunalMehta and she will be the heroine.
well that's my train of thought
