Should You Apply For Axis Bank Privilege Credit Card?

If your average monthly spend through the card is a little more than INR 20,000 then you can go with this card. This will lead your annual spending to INR 2,50,000 & you get Yatra gift voucher worth Rs 5000.

If your annual spending is less than Rs 2,50,000, then you wouldn’t be a frequent traveler because 3-4 travel bookings in a year easily bring annual spending at this limit. In this case, you should go for a general-purpose credit card.
