AU Bank has now reduced the reward points offered for transactions on Utility Bills and Telecom for the Vetta and Zenith Credit Cards. Earlier, these cards used to provide a higher reward rate for Utility and Telecom transactions. 

Recently, IndusInd Bank and Axis Bank have reduced reward points on select card categories. IndusInd Bank Platinum Credit Card and IndusInd Bank Signature Credit Card also have a low reward rate of 0.70 per Rs. 100 spent on Utilities, whereas Axis Bank has removed the Flipkart Axis Bank Credit Card’s cashback on utility bills and the Axis Bank Select Credit Card’s EDGE REWARDs Point earning for the same.

Although these cards still offer numerous benefits in the form of lounge access or milestone rewards, this change in the reward structure is sure to be taken note of. What are your views on the reduction of reward points earned for these credit cards?
