Features of Axis Bank Magnus Credit Card
- Reward Points Program (EDGE Rewards):
The Magnus Credit Card offers a robust rewards program that incentivizes high spending, particularly for frequent travelers and lifestyle enthusiasts.
Base Reward Rate: Earn 12 EDGE Reward Points for every ₹200 spent, applicable on cumulative monthly spends up to ₹1.5 lakh. This translates to a base reward rate of approximately 6% (assuming 1 EDGE Reward Point = ₹0.20 when redeemed for vouchers).
Accelerated Rewards for High Spenders: Earn 35 EDGE Reward Points per ₹200 on incremental spends above ₹1.5 lakh in a calendar month, significantly boosting the reward rate for high spenders. This can yield returns of around 5-12% when points are transferred to travel partners.
Travel EDGE Bonus: Earn 60 EDGE Reward Points per ₹200 spent on the Travel EDGE portal (Axis Bank’s travel booking platform), capped at ₹2 lakh per month. This offers a reward rate of up to 12% when redeemed as miles.
Exclusions: Certain categories like utilities, fuel, insurance, gold/jewelry, wallet transactions, government institutions, and rental spends do not earn rewards or count toward milestone thresholds, which can limit the card’s utility for some users.
-
- Redemption Options: Points can be redeemed for vouchers, electronics, or travel bookings through the EDGE Rewards catalog. The most lucrative redemption is transferring points to 20+ airline and hotel partners (e.g., Qatar Airways, Air France, Accor, Turkish Airlines) at a 5:2 ratio (5 EDGE Points = 2 partner miles). For Burgundy account holders, the ratio improves to 5:4, doubling the value. Points are valid for 3 years from the date of accrual. Annual cap on point transfers: 5 lakh EDGE Reward Points per customer ID, with sub-caps of 1 lakh points for Group A partners and 4 lakh points for Group B partners.
- Travel Benefits: The Magnus Credit Card is renowned for its travel perks, making it a top choice for frequent flyers: Unlimited Airport Lounge Access: Domestic Lounges: Unlimited complimentary access to select domestic airport lounges for both primary and add-on cardholders, provided a minimum spend of ₹50,000 is met in the previous 3 months (waived for the first 3 months after card issuance). International Lounges: Unlimited complimentary access via Priority Pass for the primary cardholder, plus 4 additional guest visits per year (reduced from 8 as of April 2024). Guest access requires the primary cardholder’s presence. Low Forex Markup Fee: A 2% foreign currency markup fee (plus GST) applies to international transactions, which is competitive compared to other premium cards. This makes the card attractive for overseas spending. Welcome Travel Voucher: Upon card activation, choose a voucher worth ₹12,500 from options like Yatra (for flights), Luxe Gift Card, or Postcard Hotels. The voucher must be redeemed within 6 months of card activation, provided a transaction is made within 30 days. Discounts on Hotels: Up to 15% off at domestic and international Oberoi and Trident Hotels, enhancing the luxury travel experience. Discontinued Benefits: As of April 2024, benefits like 8 complimentary airport meet-and-greet services and BOGO movie ticket offers on BookMyShow have been discontinued, reducing some of the card’s appeal.
- Dining and Lifestyle Benefits: Dining Delights Program: Up to 40% off (capped at ₹1,000) at over 4,000 restaurants across India via the EazyDiner program. EazyDiner Prime Membership: Automatically granted around the cardholder’s birthday (linked to the registered mobile number), offering additional dining discounts Grab Deals: Accelerated rewards (up to 10,000 bonus EDGE Reward Points per month) on transactions via Grab Deals partners like Flipkart, Amazon, and instant vouchers, similar to HDFC’s SmartBuy.
- Health and Wellness Benefits: The Magnus Card stands out with unique medical benefits, uncommon among premium credit cards: Medical Concierge: Access to medical concierge services for appointments and healthcare coordination. Second Medical Opinion: Consultations with top specialists at leading medical institutions. Preventive Healthcare: Discounts on diagnostic packages from providers like Dr. PathLab and Metropolis. Global Travel and Medical Assistance: Support for international travel, including pre-trip information, visa assistance, interpreter referrals, telephonic medical advice, and help with lost documents or baggage.

Lost Baggage/Delay: Insurance up to $500 for lost baggage or travel delays. Air Accident Cover: Coverage for accidental death or permanent disability during air travel (specific limits not detailed in sources).
- Financial Benefits: Low Interest Rate: A competitive 2.5% per month (approximately 30% annually) on extended credit, lower than many premium cards No Cash Withdrawal Fee: No fee for cash advances, though finance charges apply. This is a rare benefit among credit cards. Fuel Surcharge Waiver: 1% waiver on fuel transactions between ₹400 and ₹4,000, capped at ₹400 per month. Annual Fee Waiver: The ₹12,500 + GST annual fee is waived if you spend ₹25 lakh in the preceding card anniversary year. For customers onboarded before September 2023, the threshold is ₹15 lakh.
- Welcome and Joining Benefits: Joining Fee: ₹12,500 + GST, offset by a ₹12,500 voucher (Yatra, Luxe, or Postcard Hotels) upon card activation. Annual Benefit: Similar to the welcome benefit, cardholders receive a voucher worth up to ₹12,500 annually upon fee payment, making the effective cost of the card negligible for those who redeem the voucher.
- Metal Form Factor: The card is issued in a metal form factor on the Visa Infinite platform (previously Mastercard), offering a premium look and feel comparable to cards like HDFC Infinia. The etched digits ensure durability, and the design is a conversation starter.
- Concierge Services: 24/7 Concierge: Assistance with flight bookings, hotel reservations, dining, gift deliveries, and event planning. Contact the concierge at 8885545255. However, some users report inconsistent service quality, and concierge benefits were scaled back as of April 2024
