Axis Bank Magnus Credit Card

✈ Lounge Access Available ★ 12 EDGE Reward Points per Rs.200, transferable to partners Premium & Luxury Travel Rewards Points & Rewards Airline Hotel

Magnus earns its reputation among points hackers because EDGE Points transfer to 20+ airline and hotel partners, where a Rs.200 spend (12 points) can punch well above its ~4.8% base value. The Rs.12,500 fee only pays off if you spend big and actually redeem through transfers: park Rs.1.5 lakh+ a month and the milestone bonuses stack fast. As of 2026 the reward caps and structure have been trimmed more than once, so read the current terms before committing. Skip it if you won't transfer points or can't hit the income bar; the Atlas does miles for a quarter of the fee. Confirm on axisbank.com.
