Road to Axis Magnus - How to? (2nd best card?)

[sheru]

Currently i hold Axis Ace ♠️ and FK Axis. Both paid.

I hold FK Axis since it's launch and have used it well in past. But from the day I got ACE i have hardly used it.
So I'm now thinking of closing FK Axis as I don't shop from FK anymore. Also in case needed i have SBI CB for that purpose.
I will keep using ACE.

My target is Magnus 🎯. But i would like to take it step by step as I don't have such high spends right now.

So which AXIS card is suitable for spends in range of 5lacs/yr, has good ER structure, milestone & lounge benefits and will be helpful in getting Magnus in future?

Atlas? Select? Privilege? Or any other?

PS - Currently i hold Regalia, Tata Neu ♾️, ICICI Apay and Legend to name a few.

TIA

it seem you already got SBI CB and whenever it doesn't give you cb then Axis Ace even with it recent Devaluation it will work and then Regalia & Tata Neu for bill payment or Amazon pay . with limit of 1.25 Combined on FK and ace once above 3/4 lakhs on existing axis card you're eligible for Magnus and you even apply C2C for best limit matched on existing card of other bank CC. so take your time analyze your spend and then take it

Best is to get it at airport. Carry salay slip for better limit

A few follow up questions about Magnus -

1. Prim and addon card holders both have unlimited domestic lounge visits?
2. Can addon card holder visit lounge without prim holder? And also take guests along?
3. Is meet and greet service available for addon card holders? And can it be used without prim holder? (Can be useful for parents if yes)
4. Which relations qualify for addon card?

1. Yes
2. Yes, add on card holders can visit without primary card holder. No, they can't take guests along. Only one entry per card. (as per point 4)
3. The answer is No. (I too wished it should have been a Yes) (All primary cardholders of Axis Bank Magnus Credit Card are eligible for 8 complimentary airport concierge services in one calendar year.)
4. Immediate Family.

Finally took the plunge and went ahead with Magnus.

Applied C2C offline via agent with my Apay card with lim 4.8L.

Received physical card yesterday with same limit, 4.8L.

Few points that went in favour of Magnus -
1. The fact that i will (effectively) have to pay GST only every yr, which makes it less than my paid HDFC Regalia and getting much better benefits against it.
2. My upcoming travel plans in next 2-3 yrs.
3. Transfer ratio of 5:4 for ER.
4. Unlimited domestic lounge access for addons. Useful for family members.

Thanks @Shrinit Padwal @WhoU @arunpratheep @bugmenot @vaibhav111 @VGisHere for helping me out.

The only way is to request for limit enhancement on your existing card and then upgrade that card to Magnus or else I don't see anyway in short term at least.

better apply a new card , axis usually tends to give higher limit than previous cards

You can transfer to Vistara to book flights inside India.
There is no transfer option for Indigo

After the 2 most used options for Redeeming points (Vistara & Accor) have been removed (dont know until when), what are the alternatives for using Magnus points?
