I heard like we can't buy gold using the Tataclicq Voucher. Are you sure?

I did the same. Bought gold with 10k voucher+ remaining card payment for 2g

buy gold and sell/keep

You cant buy gold cone, its patched. You can try silver coin but value is less

Oh is it.. I did in Sept 22 when I got the card. Didn't check recently

 

[CMG]

With the FD, will it still have joining and renewal fees or is it FYF or LTF (until the FD is held) ?

You can try for FYF.

Is it Worth paying for a 1 lakh scooter (TVS Jupiter) where I end up paying 2% POS Fees.
I hope the card swipe would be counted? This way, I will still be able to qualify for the milestone?

Just received April milestone and a bunch of bonus rewards. Honestly i'm liking this update from Axis. Sure there is devaluation atleast it didn't impact previous expenses

Any other methods now??

 

[thanix]

Any other methods now??

I think people added a small 50 rupees item in cart and used it to purchase gold. Try it out.

Just received April milestone 🥳

good choice. let me tell you what you can do with the fees of magnus. get sbi vistara prime, axis Vistara signature and idfc Vistara. you get 3 tickets, 4 upgrade vouchers, CV points, and on spending 4.5L (1.5L on each 3 cards) 3 extra tickets.
all these 3 cards will cost you around 13k with gst. even if you don't spend anything you get 3 premium economy tickets.

I don't think you will get 4 vouchers. Voucher is feature of vistara silver .

So let's say you got sbi vistara prime u will get : 1 pe ticket + 1 voucher (as u will become silver)

Now even if u take axis signature, you would get only 1 pe ticket. No upgrade voucher as u are already a silver member and u already got voucher for that.

Lastly if u apply idfc vistara you will get 1 pe ticket + 1 voucher (feature of idfc card) and no additional voucher as again u are already a silver member.

So effectively it's 3 pe tickets + 2 vouchers if my understanding is correct. Experts may comment or the ones who hold these combination may be able to tell better.

They are planning to credit May and Jun milestone by Jul 31. What about April? Have we already got it?

got it today

 

[Vickymaster1010]

Were to transfer may and June milestone benefits best idea?

 

[Anonymous ツ]

Solution Please.

Funny, they think they improved their devaluation.

Reality: they made it way worse. The only difference is that now you'll salvage your milestone points before devaluation.

0. NEW-Milestone is GONE.
1. NEW-They devalued Gyftr and GeabDeals silently by 50-80% on useful brands. Also limited amounts you can buy vouchers and maxed Grab Deals from 10k monthly limit to 5k. This is new
2. NEW-Increases yearly fee to 12k++.
3. NEW-They've gone stupid with the annual fee waiver. 25L now.
4. NEW-Voucher on renewal GONE.
5. NEW-Decreased ER earnings up to 1.5L
6. Priority Pass useless within India, still can use your Magnus card to enter where available and accepted opposed to nearly any lounge under PP
7. ER transfer is now 5:2
8. While they increased ER earnings after 1.5L remember they are excluding a LOT of transactions now

Honestly before I thought it was bad but I'd still keep the card. Now I'm 1000% sure I will NOT use it. I'll shift my expenses and just use Magnus benefits like M&G and PP until it's time for renewal.

I'm always amazed how sometimes you think they can't get any dumber or sillier, but they can and they will! For Reserve they absolutely butchered it! Now it makes 0 sense to get that card.
As a matter of fact people holding Magnus and Reserve will cancel Reserve so they can avail the 5:4 benefit if they have Burgundy account

At least they've made it easier for customers to move out of Axis. Even their temporary offer is hilarious specially for Reserve holders where they need to keep 5Cr NRV for 5:4 TEMPORARILY. I almost fell off my chair laughing

 

[makman]

If my card started on 1st March when should I send cancel request to not get charged renewal fees?

Just received April milestone and a bunch of bonus rewards. Honestly i'm liking this update from Axis. Sure there is devaluation atleast it didn't impact previous expenses

Can you confirm if you received all the giftedge points that were due to be received in July?

People who are opening burgundy accounts to get a 5:4 transfer rate, please note that the special transfer rate (5:4) will be available for a limited time only. After that, it will change to 5:2 - SM
