Axis Bank to Launch Flipkart Axis Bank Super Elite Credit Card

The Axis Bank partnered with the leading e-commerce company, Flipkart, in 2019 and launched a co-branded card named Flipkart Axis Bank Credit Card, which became one of the most popular cards in India very soon after that. This time, the card issuer has come up with another Flipkart co-branded card named Flipkart Axis Bank Super Elite Credit Card, which majorly targets the people who are loyal to Flipkart and use it for all their online shopping needs.

With this card, the cardholders will get rewarded in the form of Supercoins that can not only be used on Flipkart but also across other premium brands, including Myntra, Cleartrip, etc. With a great reward rate on Flipkart, the card also offers a decent reward rate on all other spends. Though the annual fee of the card has not been disclosed yet by the bank, we are assuming that it would be an affordable one. Read on for more information about the card & its features:

Axis Bank is going to add up a new credit card in its Flipkart co-branded cards range. The card is named ‘Flipkart Axis Bank Super Elite Credit Card’ and it is going to be of great value for those who make very frequent purchases on Flipkart. The annual fee of this card is Rs. 500 and it welcomes you with a bouquet of exciting gifts. The card offers double benefits to the Plus members on Flipkart purchases as they earn 2x Supercoins, but the reward rate is not at all bad for non-plus members.

  – Non-Plus members get 6% Supercoins on their Flipkart purchases (for spends up to Rs. 2,500)
  – The cardholders get 2% Supercoins on all other retail spends.

But, that doesn’t make it much of a negative point as up to a 12% reward rate is still not a bad deal. Talking about its annual fees, the card issuer has not disclosed much detailed information about other features and fees & charges of this card.
