What the card offered
The Infinite was the top card in Axis Bank’s Vistara range, with a business class ticket voucher and Club Vistara Gold membership.
What cardholders should do
- Check your Maharaja Points in your Air India Maharaja Club account and redeem them under Air India’s rules.
- Move recurring payments to another card before Axis Bank’s end date.
- If you want another Axis card, apply for it separately — Axis Bank has not named an automatic replacement.
