Positives of Flipkart Axis Bank Credit Card

  • Great card for shopping online on Flipkart.
  • Good rewards on other popular service providers like Swiggy, Uber, PVR and Cleartrip.
  • Most entry-level cards do not provide Airport lounge access, this card gives you 4 per year (1 per quarter).
  • No limit on cashback.
  • Unlike ICICI Amazon Credit Card which requires Amazon Prime account for 5% cashback, you do not need a premium account on Flipkart to get 5% cashback.

Negatives of Flipkart Axis Bank Credit Card

  • The July 2023 devaluation has significantly reduced the value of the card.
  • Only 1.5% cashback on Myntra, down from 5%.
  • For an entry-level card, the 3.5 lakh spend for card-fee waiver is too high. Most people who own the card cannot spend nearly ₹ 30,000 per month.
  • If you shop more on Amazon, the ICICI Amazon Credit Card is a better option.

Is it worth getting the credit card?

If you shop regularly on Flipkart – the answer is yes, the card is worth it. Spending ₹ 10,000 in a year (₹ 850 per month), gives you cashback of ₹ 500 – which covers the annual card fees of ₹ 500.

If you also happen to use Swiggy for food delivery and Uber for commuting in your city – the card will end up saving you quite a bit of money.

Previously, the card offered 5% cashback on purchases made on Myntra. In July 2023, the Flipkart Axis Bank Credit card was devalued, and it now offers only 1.5% cashback on Myntra.

Flipkart Axis Bank Credit Card Credit Limit and Eligibility

The Flipkart card is Axis Bank’s entry level credit card. Almost all applicants with a decent credit score will get approval for the card. The credit limit depends on your income – usually three times your monthly salary.

The minimum credit limit is ₹ 25,000.
