Axis Bank Cashback Credit Card
Axis Bank introduced its Cashback Credit Card last year as a direct replacement for the Citi Cashback Credit Card after Citi’s exit from the Indian credit card market. Initially, the Axis Cashback Card was offered exclusively to existing Citi Cashback Cardholders as a migration option.

The cashback structure on this card feels unnecessarily complicated for an entry-level product.
Axis Bank markets it with the highlight of ‘7% cashback’, but in practice, the effective rate never really crosses 5.6% because of the way the system...
This makes the 7% claim more of a marketing gimmick than a real-world benefit.
Fees and waiver
Given that the Axis Cashback Credit Card is positioned as a cashback product, it feels odd that the welcome benefit comes as reward points rather than direct cashback.; However, since the reward points match the value of the joining fee, it’s totally fine.

Rewards
• The cashback structure on this card feels unnecessarily complicated for an entry-level product.
• Axis Bank markets it with the highlight of ‘7% cashback’, but in practice, the effective rate never really crosses 5.6% because of the way the system is designed, as you can see above.
• This makes the 7% claim more of a marketing gimmick than a real-world benefit.
• On top of that, the cashback rate on utility spends is extremely low, especially considering this is a card with an annual fee of Rs.1,000.
• Caution: Bank is not honouring the accelerated reward rate for online transactions.
• It’s a daylight robbery, because it’s not the system glitch, it’s intentionally programmed like that.
• To verify, You can call support and ask, they’ll confirm that it’s an online transaction and is not excluded based on MCC either.
• But you can still get the deserved rewards, how? by sharing the invoice. How many have time and patience to do that? Now that’s the advantage for the bank.
