New Transfer Partner Additions for HDFC Bank and Axis Bank Credit Cards

People who are familiar with reward ecosystems often prefer transferring their points to airline and hotel loyalty programs instead of redeeming them for cash or vouchers, as the value per point is usually much higher. Recently, both Axis Bank and HDFC Bank have added one new transfer partner each. HDFC Bank now allows reward points to be transferred to Radisson Rewards, while Axis Bank cardholders can transfer their reward points to The Postcard Sunshine Club.

Axis Bank Adds The Postcard Sunshine Club as New Transfer Partner

Axis Bank Credit Cardholders can now transfer their EDGE Reward Points to the premium hotel program, The Postcard Sunshine Club.

The Sunshine Club has been added as a Group B transfer partner.

HDFC Bank Adds Radisson Rewards as the Latest Transfer Partner

Radisson Rewards is the loyalty program of the Radisson Hotel Group. Points earned or transferred into Radisson Rewards can be used across brands such as:

• Radisson Blu
• Park Inn
• Park Plaza

Bottom Line

While both hotel programs are well known, transferring your hard-earned reward points to them may not be the most value-efficient choice. In many cases, programs like Accor or even certain airline partners like KrisFlyer tend to offer better value per point, especially when redeemed for higher-category stays or premium cabin flights.

However, the ideal transfer partner really depends on your travel pattern, where you are going, when you are traveling, and how flexible your dates are. Before transferring points, it’s always worth comparing point value per night, ongoing promotions, and cash vs. points rates. Once points are transferred, the move is usually irreversible, so planning ahead can make a big difference in value.
