Front-load Myntra to pin the 7.5% cap
Myntra/Flipkart/Cleartrip share one ₹4,000 cashback cap per statement quarter. Routing ~₹53,000 of Myntra spend early fills the cap at 7.5% — any Flipkart or Cleartrip spend after that drops to 1%.

How do I extract every rupee?
Plays grounded in this card's specific levers. Updated each time Axis Bank tweaks the program.
Stack unlimited 4% on Uber, Swiggy, PVR, Cult
Preferred-merchant cashback (PVR, Uber, Swiggy, Cult) is uncapped at 4%. Move these four merchant rails off your 1% cards — on ₹15,000/month across them that is ₹7,200/year you otherwise leave behind.
Skip wallet, utility, telecom and rent swipes
Since 20-Jun-2025 these are category-excluded (not MCC-excluded), so even rewards-paying rails earn zero. Route rent, BBPS utilities, Paytm/Amazon wallet loads, and telecom bills to a different card before they eat into your ₹3.5L waiver clock.
Target ₹3.5L annual spend to zero the ₹590 fee
Annual fee waives at ₹3,50,000 in the card anniversary year. If you are already near ₹4,000/quarter at Myntra/Flipkart and ₹15k/month on preferreds, routing everyday 1% spend here closes the gap and frees ₹590 + GST.
Claim the ₹500 Flipkart voucher on fee variants only
The welcome ₹500 Flipkart voucher ships only on fee-paying cards — first-year-free variants get nothing per the Axis revision FAQ. If you are on the paying variant, redeem it on day one; it fully offsets the ₹500 base joining fee.

07 FAQ
Common questions
The joining and annual fees are each ₹500 + 18% GST (₹590 all-in). Axis waives the next anniversary annual fee if you spend ₹3,50,000 in the preceding card year. That is roughly ₹29,200 a month — doable if Myntra, Flipkart and the 4% preferred merchants run through this card.
