Take magnus on brother's name ?

[faltooAdmi]

Hi folks,

I have a NH score in cibil.
Few days back got DCB with 8L limit.

I am aware that we can apply for magnus thru C2C but heard it should be 12 month old. Mine is not even a week old.

By the time I will have a cibil and become eligible for magnus then by that time Magnus may get devalued a lot

So is it possible my brother could take a magnus (he will get very easily) and I could use it.

Will it create any issues ?

Like in airmile redemption. (Eg lets say I want to transfer to cv miles, will it only get transferred to his vistara account or it can be transferred to my vistara account as well ?)

Lounge access - Maybe they will check name on PP and as credit card will be on his name so will the PP.

Any other issue it may cause which I am missing?

You can take Magnus on your brother name and you can use it, but he will be liable to bank. Reward redemption can be done by Bonvoy and other airline partners by registering the membership ID's on the redemption site. But never ever take an add on card on your brother name (Brother as Primary) if you wish to take your own card in future.

Axis bank is very very bad in removing the add on cards and unlink them. So please plan accordingly.
