The AXIS BANK MAGNUS Credit Card charges ₹12,500 plus GST as a joining fee and the same ₹12,500 again at renewal. Axis Bank waives the renewal fee if you spend ₹25L in the previous year, which is about ₹2,08,333 a month. If your card spend sits below that, treat ₹12,500 as a real yearly cost that your rewards have to clear first.
Domestic lounge access beyond the first 3 months requires ₹50,000 spend in the preceding 3 months.
Priority Pass guest lounge visits are limited to 4 per calendar year from 20 April 2024.
No EDGE Reward Points on fuel, insurance, utilities, government payments, telecom, wallet reloads, gold and jewellery, and rent spends beyond ₹50,000 per month.
Complimentary guest visits for lounge access have been revised from 8 to 4 per year (effective 20th April 2024).
