Discontinued

What the Axis Vistara Infinite offered (for reference)

As the top tier of Axis Bank’s Vistara range, the Infinite was built around Vistara’s Club Vistara (CV) loyalty programme and aimed at frequent flyers who valued cabin upgrades and airline status. It is no longer issued, but here is what it provided — useful if you are comparing it against the Air India successor cards.

• Air-ticket vouchers: a complimentary Premium Economy ticket voucher on joining, another on renewal, and further flight vouchers on reaching annual spend milestones — the headline reason most people held the card.
• Club Vistara status: complimentary CV Gold tier, which carried priority check-in, extra baggage and bonus points on Vistara flights.
• Rewards on spends: CV Points earned on everyday spending, redeemable for Vistara award flights and upgrades.
• Lounge access: complimentary domestic and international airport lounge visits.
• Positioning: a premium annual fee placed it among India’s upper-tier travel cards, so the value depended on actually using the vouchers and status each year.

How the value stacked up

The card made sense for regular Vistara flyers who could redeem the premium-economy vouchers and use CV Gold benefits; for occasional flyers, the fee was harder to justify. With Vistara retired, that value has shifted to Air India’s Maharaja Club and its co-branded cards — which is where holders should now re-base their travel strategy.

Choosing a successor card

If most of your miles came from flying, an Air India co-branded card is the closest like-for-like replacement, because it earns into the same Maharaja Club programme your Club Vistara points moved to. If you prefer flexibility beyond one airline, a general travel-miles card lets you transfer points to multiple airline and hotel partners instead of locking you to a single carrier. Match the annual fee to how often you actually fly — a high-fee airline card only pays off if you redeem its vouchers and status every year.
