Why didn't you convert them before 31st August

 

[drsel]

I am planning to purchase a Car worth 8 lakh with my Magnus card... How many reward points should I expect from the transaction?
I have to negotiate the 2% he is charging me for the credit card transaction.

Is it a good decision?

You should apply for Axis Atlas and use it for all offline transactions to get 4% in value.

Right now Magnus plain and Magnus Burgundy are giving very low conversion ratios of 10:1 or 5:1.
so you should not use any Magnus card until the ratios are fixed to 5:2 and 5:4

10:1 or 5:1 is temporary and I don't have Axis atlas...I already have 3 creditcard from Axis..so guess not eligible for 4th one

 

[raghav101]

Why didn't you convert them before 31st August

Because they got credited after on 2nd September.

 

[raghav101]

I'll just have to wait for it be to be back again to 5:4.

 

[raghav101]

How long it takes for card to be approved? I applied for Atlas on 30th August. Still haven't received it yet.

 

[mastfun]

I see this for every partner Hotels, Airlines everything...

 

[drsel]

I have not received any points for all my spends on Axis Magnus in September

 

[drsel]

I see this for every partner Hotels, Airlines

So you are plain Magnus now.
Are the points obtained from your non Magnus cards also getting converted at 5:2 ratio?

Are you planning to become Burgundy soon?

Don't know as most of the Burgundy members are saying that they are still not able to see 5:4

Axis Burgundy premium customer care senior confirmed that --

with plain Magnus,
All edge points from all 3-4 cards in your portfolio will get converted @5:2

with Burgundy Magnus,
All edge points from all 3-4 cards in your portfolio will get converted @5:4

All these speculations have been doing the rounds ever since Magnus deval talks started. Senior rep from Axis or Door man from Axis doesn’t change the fact that unless you get in writing from Axis all these are mere talks.

Most of us are waiting for it to go live to finally make use of these Edge reqarfds

[Thomas Shelby]

Yes 60 points per 200 using Magnus.
How much % more is Traveledge airfare compared to kayak.com and airline website?

 

[drsel]

does they provided any timeline

Yes, 3rd week of September 2023, so 15--21 Sep

 

[Thomas Shelby]

Yes 60 points per 200 using Magnus.
How much % more is Traveledge airfare compared to kayak.com and airline website?

Traveledge usually is 2-5% higher and sometimes the price would be similar to kayak.com and airline website.

It also depends on airline and travel date.

Anyone has any update when Axis would fix 20:1 bug for Magnus if you have multiple cards? Are they even aware and fixing it?
