With the launch of several airline co-branded credit cards in recent times, including those linked to IndiGo and Etihad, many may have overlooked the fact that Lufthansa’s Miles & More co-branded credit cards are still available in India. Axis Bank currently offers two variants under the partnership, the premium Miles & More World Select Credit Card and the relatively affordable Miles & More World Credit Card.
For a limited period, Axis Bank has introduced an enhanced welcome offer on both cards. New applicants for the Miles & More World Credit Card can earn an additional 2,000 Award Miles, while those applying for the Miles & More World Select Credit Card will receive an extra 5,000 Award Miles as a welcome bonus. This limited-time offer provides a good opportunity for frequent travelers and Star Alliance flyers to boost their Miles & More balance right from the start.
| Cards | Usual Welcome Miles | Bonus Welcome Miles |
| Axis Bank Miles & More World Select Credit Card | 5,000 | 2,000 |
| Axis Bank Miles & More World Credit Card | 15,000 | 5,000 |
Bottom Line
With this latest promotion, new cardholders can earn up to 20,000 bonus Award Miles through the Miles & More credit card range, making it one of the more attractive airline credit card offers currently available in India. Since the offer is available only for a limited period, interested applicants may want to consider applying before the promotional window closes.
The offer also highlights the growing focus on airline loyalty and air miles-based credit cards in the Indian market. Notably, the recently launched Etihad co-branded credit cards from BOBCARD are also running a bonus welcome miles offer, signaling increased competition in this niche segment.
While the Miles & More credit cards may no longer receive the same attention as some of the newer airline partnerships, they were once among the most popular travel-focused credit cards in India, often standing out for their generous miles-earning opportunities and lucrative promotional campaigns.
