Axis Bank Magnus Credit Card vs Axis Bank Magnus for Burgundy Credit Card

Earning, lounge access and the 2% forex markup are the same. Magnus for Burgundy converts points to partner miles at twice the rate (5 points to 4 miles, up to 10 lakh points a year, against 5 to 2), adds 4 airport meet-and-assist services a year, and costs ₹30,000 a year against ₹12,500. Its welcome voucher is worth ₹5,000 against Magnus's ₹12,500, and Magnus holders who upgrade don't get it.

Only Axis Burgundy banking customers who meet Burgundy's rules on their own customer ID, for example an average monthly balance of ₹10 lakh in savings, a total relationship value of ₹30 lakh (₹1 crore including demat holdings), or a net salary credit above ₹3 lakh a month. You apply through your relationship manager or a branch about 45 days after the relationship shows on your Burgundy statement; there's no online application. Axis reviews the relationship every 6 months and swaps the card for the regular Magnus if you no longer qualify.

Only if you move points to airlines or hotels. At Axis's published ₹0.20 a point both cards return the same, so the extra ₹17,500 a year buys the better miles rate and the meet-and-assist services. The fee is waived at ₹30 lakh of eligible spend in the previous card year. New Burgundy salary account customers from 1 July 2026 with a net monthly salary credit of ₹2 lakh or more can get the regular Magnus with no fees, though without its welcome voucher.

Yes, on the same terms: unlimited international visits with Priority Pass for the primary cardholder plus 4 guest visits a card year, and unlimited visits to Axis's listed domestic lounges once you've spent ₹50,000 in the previous 3 calendar months. Since 28 August 2026 you enter domestic lounges with the card itself, because Priority Pass no longer works at lounges in India.
