No airport lounge access, higher cashback on Myntra from June 20, 2025: Check Axis Bank Credit card changes
Axis Bank is revising the terms and conditions of its two credit cards from June 20, 2025. The credit cards are - REWARDS Credit Card and Flipkart Axis Bank Credit Card.

For Flipkart Axis Bank Credit Card, there will be increased cashback on purchases made via Myntra and no airport lounge access. Let us look in details about the changes made in the two credit cards of the Axis Bank from June 20, 2025. Axis Bank REWARDS Credit Card changes There is no change to the spend categories excluded from Joining benefit calculation, earning rewards and spend based fee waiver calculation. 'However, to simplify, such transactions will be identified based on the spend category (Utility & Telecom, Rent, Wallet, etc.) rather than the assigned 4-digit Merchant Category code,' according to Axis Bank. HDFC Bank revises lounge access policy for these credit card users effective from June 10, 2025 From the changes, it seems that Axis Bank will now use a simpler approach to decide which transactions don't earn rewards or count toward fee waivers. It is expected that these changes will make easier for users to understand which transactions qualify for earning rewards and fee waiver on certain spending. Live Events Earlier, the REWARDS Credit Card relied on 4-digit Merchant Category Codes (MCCs) to identify transactions excluded from reward earnings, fee waivers, and milestone benefits. Moving forward, the system will use spend categories (such as Utilities, Rent, or Wallet) for greater clarity. While the excluded categories themselves remain unchanged, this shift is designed to simplify tracking for cardholders. The bank has said that it will exclude the transactions made on rent and wallet will be excluded to decide if the credit card holder is eligible for spend based fee waiver on the credit card. A credit card holder will also not earn rewards on the following transactions: Transactions made on Transportation & Tolls, Utilities, Insurance, Educational Institutions, Govt. Institutions, Wallet, Rent, Fuel. The following transactions will also be excluded for calculating milestone benefit calculation: Insurance, Wallet, Rent Cash Withdrawal. REWARDS Credit Card will also have further changes from July 1, 2025 and October 1, 2025. From July 1, 2025, credit card holders will get Swiggy offer twice a month on their credit card. From October 1, 2025, the bank will have a right to forfeit unredeemed EDGE REWARD points or EDGE Miles post 30 days of credit card closure or if minimum amount due on your credit card is outstanding for more than 90 days. Flipkart Axis Bank Credit Card changes From June 20, 2025, Flipkart Axis Bank Credit Card holders will get increased cashback of 7.5% from earlier cashback of 1% on Myntra purchases. However, credit card holder can maximum cashback of Rs 4,000 per statement in a quarter. Further, a credit card holder will continue to earn 5% cashback on Flipkart and Cleartrip for maximum of Rs 4000 per statement in a quarter. The cashback you earn for purchases during any statement month will be credited within 3 days before your next statement is generated. So if your statement is dated the 15th, cashback will be credited by the 12th of each month. The statement quarter will be defined on the basis of statement date of the credit card. 4 complimentary domestic airport lounge access will be discontinued from June 20, 2025 for the Flipkart Axis Bank Credit Card holders. Similar to REWARDS Credit Card, there is no change to the spend categories excluded from earning rewards and spend based fee waiver calculation. However, to simplify, such transactions will now be identified based on the spend category (Utility & Telecom, Rent, Wallet load, etc.) rather than the assigned 4-digit Merchant Category Code (MCC). Following transactions will be excluded from cashback: Utility & Telecom, Education, Rent, Wallet load, Government services, Insurance, Gold & Jewellery, Fuel, Financial Institutions, Cash advances and Repayments. Further, rent payments and wallet load transactions will be excluded from spend based fee waiver calculation.

Flipkart Axis Bank Credit Card update: Key changes you must know before June 20
The Flipkart Axis Bank Credit Card is one of the most popular credit cards in the cashback category. Some other credit cards in this category include the Cashback SBI Card, Amazon Pay ICICI Bank Credit Card, HSBC Live+ Credit Card, Swiggy HDFC Bank Credit Card, etc. The USP of these cards is that they are simple to understand. They give a certain percentage of the transaction value as cashback. Axis Bank has announced changes to the Flipkart Axis Bank Credit Card. The changes are effective from 20th June. What are these changes, and how will they affect the cardholders? Let us understand. Axis Bank has announced the following changes to the Flipkart Axis Bank Credit Card. Increase in cashback on Myntra Let us first start with the good news. Earlier, the Flipkart Axis Bank Credit Card gave 1% cashback on Myntra. From 20th June, the cashback rate will increase from 1% to 7.5%. So, Myntra shoppers will rejoice as they will earn an additional 6.5% cashback than before. The maximum cashback that can be earned on Myntra purchases is capped at Rs. 4,000 per statement quarter. The statement quarter is defined based on your statement date. For example, if the cardholder's statement date is the 15th of every month, the statement quarters will be as follows: First quarter: 16th March to 15th June Second quarter: 16th June to 15th September Third quarter: 16th September to 15th December Fourth quarter: 16th December to 15th March Capping on cashback on Flipkart and Cleartrip The cardholder will continue to earn 5% cashback on Flipkart and Cleartrip. Earlier, there was no capping on the cashback amount. However, from 20th June, there will be a cap on the cashback amount. The cardholder can earn a maximum cashback of Rs. 4,000 in a statement quarter. There is a separate limit of Rs. 4,000 cashback per statement quarter on Flipkart and Cleartrip. The below example by Axis Bank clarifies how the cashback capping works on a statement quarter basis. (Source: Axis Bank website) The cashback will be credited to the cardholder's credit card account. The cashback earned in a statement month will be credited within 3 days prior to the next statement generation date. For example, let us assume the cardholder's statement date is 20th May. The cashback earned for transactions made between 21st April to 20th May will be credited on 17th June. The complimentary domestic airport lounge access benefit will be discontinued from 20th June. Earlier, the Flipkart Axis Bank Credit Card allowed four complimentary domestic airport lounge access in a calendar year. The complimentary domestic airport lounge access was a big benefit with an entry-level credit card like the Flipkart Axis Bank Credit Card, although it was based on spend criteria. Now that the complimentary domestic airport lounge access has been discontinued, many Flipkart Axis Bank credit cardholders will be disappointed. Earlier, the categories excluded from earning reward points or cashback were identified using the assigned 4-digit Merchant Category Code (MCC). Axis Bank has now simplified this process. The excluded transactions will now be identified based on the spend category instead of the earlier MCC code. Transactions in the following categories are excluded from earning cashback: Utility and telecom Education Rent Wallet loading Government services Insurance Gold and jewellery Fuel Financial institutions Cash advances, and Repayments The Rs. 500 annual fees on the Flipkart Axis Bank Credit Card are waived on spending Rs. 3,50,000 or more in a year. Spends towards rental transactions and wallet loading will not be counted towards spend-based annual fee waiver. Here is a quick summary of changes happening on the Flipkart Axis Bank Credit Card from 20th June: Cashback rate on Myntra increases from 1% to 7.5% with capping of Rs. 4,000 per statement quarter. Cashback on Flipkart and Cleartrip will be capped at Rs. 4,000 per statement quarter for each merchant. The four complimentary domestic airport lounge access will be discontinued Excluded transactions will be identified based on the spend category instead of the MCC code The Flipkart Axis Bank Credit Card offers the following features and benefits: A welcome benefit of Rs. 600 5% cashback on Flipkart and Cleartrip, subject to a separate capping of Rs. 4,000 per statement quarter for each merchant. 4% cashback on preferred merchants, which include PVR, Swiggy, and Uber 1% cashback on other eligible categories 1% fuel surcharge waiver on transactions between Rs. 400 and Rs. 4,000. The maximum waiver is Rs. 400 per statement cycle Dining Delights: 15% discount up to Rs. 500 at 10,000+ partner restaurants across India with EazyDiner The joining fee is Rs. 500 + Taxes (welcome benefits of Rs. 600). The annual fee is Rs. 500 + Taxes. It is waived on annual spends of Rs. 3,50,000 (rent and wallet loading transactions are not counted). The increase in the Myntra cashback rate from 1% to 7.5% is a welcome move. For Flipkart and Cleartrip, the 5% cashback will come with a separate capping of Rs. 4,000 per statement quarter for each merchant. So, if your quarterly spends on Flipkart are more than Rs. 80,000, the cashback capping will impact you. The same applies to Cleartrip. If your quarterly spends on both these merchants are below Rs. 80,000, then you need not worry. The discontinuation of the complimentary domestic airport lounge access is a dampener. Overall, the Flipkart Axis Bank Credit Card continues to be a good credit card provided your quarterly spends on Flipkart and Cleartrip are less than Rs. 80,000. So, you may continue holding the card and enjoy its benefits even post the 20th June changes. Gopal Gidwani is a freelance personal finance content writer with 15+ years of experience.
