Axis Bank Flipkart credit card was launched back in 2019 when the cobranded card space was evolving. I have held this card since then until last year after which I had closed this card to make space for other cards from Axis Bank’s stable. I got this as an upgrade from the erstwhile Axis Buzz credit card which has similar benefits. This card is quite popular among cashback enthusiasts.
Here’s a quick review of the same!

If you are a heavy spender on Flipkart and other preferred partners and want to have a card for offline spending as well then Axis Bank Flipkart Card is just the right one. The 5% unlimited cashback benefit on Flipkart purchases and an unlimited 1.5% cashback on all the spends make this card shine.
This one card when used for all your spending will give you quite a good value if you cross the yearly spending requirements. Its direct competitors are SBI Cashback and HDFC Millennia but they only give better reward rates on online spends only.

Been using the card for the last 3 years. Despite recent devaluation, its a worthwhile card. The exclusions are not anything extraordinary and only Millennia gives 1 percent on wallet loads in addition when compared to the competition. When used with the recently devalued Axis Grabdeals, the overall value can be increased, perhaps a point that can be noted in the review of all Axis cards.
This card is best for flipkart anything to buy 5 percent discount many more benefits are there
Once u have not paid total u spend amt or u paid minimum amt also ther charge around 3000 rupees, for only 19k limit amt for ,axis Bank credit department!
If any credit card is lifetime free then you can close your eyes but it is not very difficult to get a chargeable card. This is what Indians want from banks to make all cards free for lifetime
