Note: Unlike other banks, AU offered 80% of them as LTF cards and only 2 or 3 cards as paid (if we consider getting core cards from xCite or Salary based MNC etc.), so do not expect heavy benefits because no bank can survive with only LTF cards (Hint: IDFC).

Please edit the post bro, AU ixigo provides 1.25% cash back, please check and correct
 
Does the ixigo card work for bank offers (outside ixigo)?
I've been getting mixed answers for this question

never saw in au offers that particularly exclude cards.

some cards have specific offers but if there is 10% offer like that there is no mention of exclude cards.

Infact, SBI (SBI Cashback), ICICI (APay), Onecard partner banks.. except this I do not see exclusion for other cards. Let me know if any cards following this exclusion. TIA
