Can education loan emis be paid with credit card? If yes please mention which are those card. I am saying this to use credit card for benefit because i have money to pay emi directly but if credit card do so i can pay credit card bill next day.
Axis Magnus for normal accounts is 5:2. For Burgundy it's 5:4. Great work on these discussions it helps me a lot with my credit card optimization also.
Best of axis atlas comes when you spend on hotels or airlines directly. You will get 5x edge miles if you book either through axis travel edge or direct through hotels. You can use it to settle any payments during hotel checkout
As an Ex-Magnus(good old days) user and a current Atlas user, i wish to add here that atlas has to introduce smartbuy program apart from buying directly through airline site or hotel site. if Atlas allows Gyfter or something - it would be the most rewarding card.
More importantly, the Atlas benefit is on travel spends where you earn 5 Edge Miles per 100 on direct hotel/airline bookings. Which unlike booking through smartbuy/third parties, gives you the points/miles for the booking as well. So it is effectively always a double dip. 3L travel spends on Axis Atlas in your first year will get you 20k Edge Miles which is a 24% in terms of Accor.
@@Vishal_Mamidi sorry missed this. Double dip, as you get the Atlas miles on booking and for booking directly, book hotels and airlines, give you loyalty/reward points too. Unlike booking through third party. For eg. Accor booking on Atlas, gives you 18% back through Atlas and Accor gives some 2-6% back based on status.
Regarding Axis Magnus for Burgundy - Although rent is not included in annual fee waiver, you do get reward points for rents upto 50k. I was able to get M4B lifetime free (till I maintained the Burgundy status) because I got it before 31st Jan, so this works out for me.
Accor ALL points definitely hold more value, but one drawback is the points cap-you can’t use them to cover an entire booking. During my recent trip to Istanbul, I could only use a maximum of 18k points for my Novotel reservation, and had to pay the rest in cash. In contrast, with Marriott’s Bonvoy points, I was able to fully cover my Sheraton booking using just points.
While paying the cash amount, just ask the receptionist to use the points, They will be able to deduct from that, I have done this multiple times. Only the amount < 1800/- (which is 1000 points) you have to pay because they can only redeem in multiples of 1000.
Very informative. I used to listen to mostly videos at 1.5-2.0 speed but both people have different speeds of speaking. Please resolve it on your next video. Hope you can understand.
One thing that we have to remember during this process of 'over-optimisation' is that the price of the hotel is already super marked up. ITC Mementos is one hour away from the city centre, outside the city. Even in the city centre (which is the most prime location and has hotels with most premium tarriffs) per night rates start at 15-20k (Trident is available for 18k per night). I am sure ITC Mementos is a beautiful property. But the price of 45k per night is super-marked up. He did the booking at 17k per night which may be fair value. But you can't look at the over inflated rate of 45k and say it's a bargain.
Hello Pranay, I am new to your channel, but I must stay I regret not knowing about it before. I might have binged watched all your videos over this weekend instead of a Netflix series, and honestly it has been a much much more fruitful one than my usual weekends. I am a doctor by profession I can see lots of content about flight and hotel bookings, which definitely are essentials. My request to you would be your comment about international transactions made overseas with an Indian card, as I need to travel across the globe for various conferences and end up paying high mark up fees, forex rates, etc. while shopping/dining/other expenses. Thank you !
Thanks for your comment. You can consider: A) Amex plat charge metal card which gives accelerated points for international spends. But the fee is 70k. You can see my video on this to know about its other benefits. B) idfc first wow card. This is FD backed - so you'll have to open an FD with idfc but this has zero forex fee.

Plus good access or meet and greet four in total and other offers au runs. Not for spending but saving money. And Amazon pay 5k is as good as 5k money
For atlas you have not mentioned about 5 edge miles benefit you get for booking directly the hotel or flight. I think this is a great benefit. I have 27 cards, gets confused which one to use where!
I'm planning to buy a car for which I'm planning to do a downpayment of 6-7.5L through credit card, as per my calculation Atlas would be the best for the same. Please share your view?
After using Atlas for more than 4 months, I have realised that it is not worth it if you already have Infinia or Amex Trifecta! Very hard to reach milestones with all the exclusions and then, you have to face issues like wrong merchant classification and poor Axis customer care. Edge miles crediting is very sporadic, sometimes it comes in 7-8 days sometimes it takes ages. Axis positions it as premium card but hardly creates that experience!
Love your videos as these answer quite a little of my queries. Need a suggestion / recommendation for a credit card that gives rewards on education spends . After Paytm shutdown , Amex isn't accepted at my son's school and the amount is almost 7.5 L per annum. I can do a trxn but at 3% + charge it is simply not worth. Hence looking for a suggestion. I have a Plat Reserve, DCB and Citi cards migrated to axis
Hdfc is a good option for education. You can get infinia or diners black if you can. If not get the HDFC swiggy card to begin with, link below 👇🏼 earningshub.co/Pranay-Kapoor-17298474518784221164
I have an Atlas upgrade option but i feel that Atlas has way too many exclusions including jewellery. For my personal use, i can't think of any big payments that i can do with this. I have the Amex trifecta, HDFC reg gold that covers all my spends
When did you get this? What month / year? Trying to find a pattern given how different people have different rates for Magnus Burgundy. From 0 to 12K to 30K
@@pranayk37 the day they launched Magnus for burgandy! If I remember right, 2023 September. Especially, when the downgrade started. Honesty, it's been way profitable than any card for me..

What would be the best way to use 75k edgemiles that i accumulated via Magnus before the deval? I’m looking at using them for domestic air India/ vistara travel or would transferring to a hotel program makes more sense? On a side note,my Magnus is ltf, but I do not do any spends. Does it still makes sense to keep it?
Hey Pranay, I've DCB LTF and have an upgrade offer for DCB Metal. The only reason I feel DCB Metal might be better is no capping of daily 2500 reward points when I'm trying to book international flights. Do you think it's worth an upgrade? My current annual spends is about 7-9L on an average.
Do a back of the envelope - how many times have you hit the daily limit on DCB plastic, and going forward, what's the estimated benefit of no daily limit for you? If that's more than the fee, get it otherwise skip. I haven't gotten it for what it's worth
What to do if i have a LTF diners privilege card and now getting upgraded to diners black metal. First yr free...then 8lac spend based fee waiver. My spends are lesser.

Hi @Pranay, I'm really torn between Amex Platinum and Atlas. My rough spending is around 2-3 lakhs on travel and up to 2 lakhs on utilities, taxes, and NPS. I'm leaning towards Amex because it includes utilities and taxes in the net spend, but I've heard Amex isn’t widely accepted everywhere. Is that true?
I have both Amex Plat and Atlas. use amex plat for gyfter and Enjoy marriot when you travel and stay. Use Axis Atlas when booking (directly through airline or hotel) and Enjoy ITC/Accor.

Sir if you could please check as for a burgundy account holder the annual fees for magnus is not applicable as I am a burgundy account holder and I have never paid a penny on fees for magnus
@@pranayk37for new burgundy magnus it is 30k, for new normal magnus it is 12k, for existing Magnus holders they offered burgundy Magnus for free. Hope it clarifies!
Edge Rewards expire after 3 years. Edge Miles (the points that Atlas gives) expire after 1 year. Caveat: it is not very clear in the T&Cs when Edge Miles expire but it looks like its 1 year.
@@pranayk37 No, the magnus burgundy is 35k including tax. I just got it 2 months back. It is there in TnC. They are not giving it LTF anymore and strictly based on salary criteria
I've heard a few different versions of this so I'm not clear to be honest. Website says it's 30K. My RM says it's 12K (insists it's magnus burgundy). Few folks on the comments have said they have it for free but that's cuz they got it before a certain date earlier in 2024. So short answer is, not sure 😃

Why dont you get HDFC biz black for your tax payments
It's only for businesses and we are salaried
Any credit card which is better than infinia ?
Hey Pranay drop in your referral link for Amex CC ... Looking to apply for Platinum Travel CC....

Sir if you could please check as for a burgundy account holder the annual fees for magnus is not applicable as I am a burgundy account holder and I have never paid a penny on fees for magnus
It's a little confusing, you're right. Website says 30k, RM says 12K and now you're saying 0 🤐😅
@@pranayk37 Actually its 0 as I am holding magnus for 2 years and haven’t paid any fees for it
@@pranayk37for new burgundy magnus it is 30k, for new normal magnus it is 12k, for existing Magnus holders they offered burgundy Magnus for free. Hope it clarifies!
When does Atlas point expire? For how much time they are valid?
Edge Rewards expire after 3 years. Edge Miles (the points that Atlas gives) expire after 1 year. Caveat: it is not very clear in the T&Cs when Edge Miles expire but it looks like its 1 year.
How we can transfer AMEX point to Accor
Can't. There's no direct route and you'll lose value going indirect. Let me know if you find a way
Could you please share invite link of broadcast which you were talking

Magnus burgundy fees is not ₹12500 but 35400
The RM says 12.5K, I double checked with him. Irrespective, doesn't make sense for me
@@pranayk37 no man! thats for normal magnus. Magnus burgundy is 30k plus gst
@@pranayk37 No, the magnus burgundy is 35k including tax. I just got it 2 months back. It is there in TnC. They are not giving it LTF anymore and strictly based on salary criteria
No card is as good a card as AMEX.....
Ye burgundy account ke sath magnus burgundy free milta he ? my RM said i have to pay 30k per annum for magnus with burgundy
I've heard a few different versions of this so I'm not clear to be honest.
Website says it's 30K.
My RM says it's 12K (insists it's magnus burgundy).
Few folks on the comments have said they have it for free but that's cuz they got it before a certain date earlier in 2024.
So short answer is, not sure 😃
@@pranayk37yes I got the Magnus for Burgundy LTF
Unfortunately for new applicants they do charge 30K as it’s anual fee
Ohh..i also got the feedback that point redemption is not easy in axis bank. You have to call RM to redeem points.
@@nalinkanoongo1929and redeeming via the RM took more than 7 days when we were burgundy account holders
Great content.. have a query .. if one of credit card gets declined before reaching me, does it impact the cibil score.
If your application is denied that doesn't reduce the score. However the score can be hit slightly everytime an enquiry is made by a credit card company

It gives the same number of holidays as other companies :) it's on employees to avail the holidays and not let them go to waste
