Axis Ace. Best entry level card

Agreed

I agree Axis Ace. Its not LTF, but if you manage to spend more than 2Lakhs.. then its LTF.

Else you can consider IDFC Select, use Rs 20000 wallet load every month.. so the remaining offline spends you get 2.5%
But this can come to their notice and cancel your card due to abuse.

almost everyone charges for wallet load this days…No point of such headace/rotations

Even If one spends 10000 a month i.e 120000 yearly that is cashback of Rs2400 per year
or approx 1900 per year (considering fee). It is just hands down the best entry level card without much fuss or different reward rates as per categories

IDFC started cancelling credit cards based on usage pattern?

My axis ace application was rejected twice in the past so unsure if I can apply again now.

I dont know.. I havent tried.. but I assume this sort of pattern will raise flags if done frequently

Did you submit Aadhar ? Mine was rejected because I refused to submit Aadhar. I reapplied with Aadhar and got it approved.

I submitted. Their executive came home and did the validation. Got a reject post that on both occasions

I applied recently for ACE card, no update yet either from executive or from customer care/website…

How many days did it take to get status?

Don’t remember exactly but around 2 weeks I guess

If you are not getting ACE directly then I would suggest to apply for My Zone CC as they are giving that easily and then after few months call Customer care and ask to upgrade to ACE, they will take request and issue you ACE then later cancel My Zone.

Which wallet to load now with 20k, paytm started charging fees now

Looks like Axis hits CRIF score for validation and my CRIF score is bad. CIBIL and Experian scores are good.

Axis hits cibil and experian bro..
I got fk axis and enquiry reflects only in cibil and experian.

On the other hand, hdfc hits crif and Equifax, nothing on cibil & Experian…
This is the most recent updates…maybe earlier they did vice Versa

Minimum is 2% for most offline spends, right?

Was the fk axis cc ltf? Did you get ace as ltf?

No. No

Unless you have a lot of bills to pay, FK Axis CC is better than Ace as it’s LTF. 1.5% CB on all spends and sometimes 15% discount on flipkart (10% bank offer plus 5% CB, if you use it during sales with Axis bank offer). If you don’t have a lot of bills, even if you spend 10000 rupees per month, the extra 0.5% CB Ace gives over FK Axis is just 50 rupees or 50×12 = 600 per year, which barely covers it’s yearly charge. Not to mention FK Axis has welcome offers like 15% CB upto 500 on you first transaction on Myntra among other offers, while Axe has none.
