Axis Bank has begun communicating with existing Vistara co-branded credit card holders. These cards will be discontinued after 31 October 2026.
Offer Details / What’s Changing
- Axis Vistara Credit Cards (including Infinite variants) will stop after 31 Oct 2026.
- Existing cardholders are being asked to apply for another Axis Bank credit card.
- Unlike IDFC FIRST Bank (which moved many Vistara holders to a Lifetime Free Diamond Reserve card), Axis has not yet clearly announced the exact replacement card or any special transition bonus for everyone.
Eligible Cards / Who Can Avail
- Current Axis Bank Vistara co-branded cardholders.
- Check your email, Axis app, or SMS for the communication.
Benefits / What to Watch
- This is a forced product change rather than a new reward. The replacement card’s rewards, fees, lounge access and milestone structure will decide whether you stay with Axis or look elsewhere.
- IDFC’s handling of the same Vistara wind-down was more generous (LTF upgrade path). Axis details are still emerging — some holders have already received mails.
How to Claim / Steps
- Log into the Axis mobile app or net banking and look for any Vistara transition banner or email.
- If you receive an offer, compare the new card’s annual fee, reward rate, and benefits against your current usage before accepting.
- Keep statements and reward balances handy in case of any transfer issues.
Validity / Important Notes
- Deadline: Cards valid only till 31 October 2026.
- No official one-size-fits-all replacement card named yet. Individual offers may vary.
- Act soon if you rely on Vistara-specific benefits or want to lock in any transition perks that appear.
