Which Debit or Credit Card Have You Closed (or Plan to) in 2025 & Why?

Worry not. Millennia is also on ventilator now. Once every provider change MCC to 6012 for CC bill payments, all cards will die. What is guarantee that after changing MCC in December, Setu will not change it again? There is a heavy rush on it currently due to Unipay went away.

So we are not anymore wasting our time now but instead will wait for new provider to bring some relief.

Credit cards to close :

Sbi vistara Prime - All milestones achieved & fee waiver also given .
Axis Vistara Signature - Same Reason as above
Regalia gold - will upgrade to dcb
IndusInd eazydiner sig Ltf card - don’t dine out that much .
Biz black fd based - not much tax payments … my sister got that without having much knowledge. ( RM chipka diya fd pe )

Debit card to close :
Bob sapphire - they reduced distance from 40km to 25km … no use now .
How did you got IndusInd eazydiner signature as LTF?
 
They might give 2000 reward points, they offered me for Ashva.
The retention offer is only 2000 RPs, equivalent to ₹500, a rather inadequate offer from IDFC. It is unlikely that anyone would retain the card for such a low incentive, at least 4000 RPs should be provided.
Also, without the CBs 2nd yr fee is not worth paying considering the card's benefits.

That's the reason I have closed Ashva. They might give activation benefits later on.
