Myntra Kotak credit card ends July 10: Here's what changes for users
What's changing for cardholders?
From July 10, the Myntra Kotak Credit Card will no longer be valid for transactions. Cardholders will automatically receive the Kotak League Platinum card as a replacement. Those who prefer not to migrate can choose to close their account by contacting the bank's customer care before the migration date.
Users are also advised to update any standing instructions or auto-payments linked to their existing card to avoid disruptions.
Key features of the Kotak League Platinum Credit Card
The Kotak League Platinum card offers broader usage benefits but does away with Myntra-specific rewards.
Rewards: Earn eight reward points for every Rs 150 spent on general purchases (excluding certain categories like fuel, rent, wallet loads, education, and gaming).
Railway surcharge waiver: Up to Rs 500 per year.
Milestone benefits: Spend Rs 1.25 lakh in six months to get 4 PVR tickets or 10,000 reward points.
How does it compare to the Myntra card?
The Myntra Kotak Credit Card offered 7.5 per cent instant discounts on Myntra purchases and 1.25 per cent cashback on other spends, alongside a complimentary Myntra Insider membership. However, the League Platinum focuses on reward points and milestone benefits instead of brand-specific discounts.
Additionally, Kotak has from June 1 revised its credit card rewards policy. No reward points will be earned on utility bill payments above Rs 35,000 per billing cycle, or on wallet loads, insurance, and select other categories.
What should cardholders do?
Review the League Platinum card's rewards and fee structure to see if it suits their spending habits.
Update recurring payments linked to the old card.
If the new card doesn't fit their needs, consider exploring alternative options or requesting card cancellation.
Kotak Mahindra Bank has assured customers that the annual fee for the new card will remain the same as the Myntra card at Rs 499 plus taxes.

Good news for ICICI bank customers as private lender reduces minimum balance requirements for...
ICICI Bank Minimum account Balance New Delhi: Facing widespread outrage, private lender ICICI Bank on Wednesday partially reversed its minimum average balance (MAB) requirements from Rs 50,000 to Rs 15,000 for new customers in Metro and urban areas. The revision came after a pushback from customers and days after the second-largest bank in the country raised the MAB requirement from Rs 10,000 to Rs 50,000 for new customers in urban cities. The minimum balance that new ICICI Bank customers in semi-urban areas must maintain has also been reduced to Rs 7,500 from Rs 25,000. For rural locations, the MAB has been reduced to Rs 2,500 from Rs 10,000 as recommended earlier. However, the bank has clarified that if customers keep a balance less than the prescribed limit in their account, then they will have to pay a penalty. Earlier in the day, HDFC Bank followed suit by elevating MAB to Rs 25,000, effective from August 1, 2025, for new savings account holders. As per the HDFC Bank updated terms, account holders should maintain a Rs 25,000 balance. For urban and metro bank branches, the penalty is calculated as 6 per cent of the shortfall or Rs 600, whichever is lower. Major lenders like SBI, PNB, and Canara Bank have removed the minimum balance requirement for savings accounts, while also removing penalty charges for non-maintenance. Meanwhile, Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Sanjay Malhotra has said that the minimum balance limit for savings accounts will be decided by banks as the decision does not fall under any regulatory jurisdiction, after India's second-largest lender, ICICI Bank, raised the monthly minimum average balance requirement for all customer segments. He further said that some banks have fixed this limit at Rs 10,000, while some banks have kept this limit at Rs 2,000 for customers. However, there are many banks that have completely removed it for their customers. 'This decision does not fall under the regulatory domain,' he clarified. According to an earlier ICICI Bank's decision, customers at metro and urban locations who opened their savings accounts on or after August 1 had to maintain a Rs 50,000 monthly average balance to avoid penalties. The minimum average balance for older customers remained Rs 10,000.
