Discontinued
This card has been discontinued
Following the Vistara–Air India merger, Vistara’s loyalty programme (Club Vistara) was integrated into Air India’s Maharaja Club (12 Nov 2024), and the Vistara co-branded credit cards — including the Axis Bank Vistara Signature — ceased for new applications and were wound down (Vistara cards across issuers stopped after 31 March 2026). Existing cardholders are being migrated to Air India co-branded cards / Maharaja Club.

What the Axis Bank Vistara Signature offered (for reference)
The Axis Bank Vistara Signature was a mid-tier card in the Vistara co-branded range, built around the Club Vistara (CV) loyalty programme. It is no longer issued, but here is what it provided — useful background if you are comparing it with the Air India successor cards your account is moving to.
- Air-ticket vouchers: a complimentary Vistara ticket voucher on joining, with further flight vouchers unlocked on reaching annual spend milestones — the main draw for regular flyers.
- Club Vistara points: CV Points earned on everyday spends, redeemable for Vistara award flights and cabin upgrades.
- Travel perks: complimentary airport lounge access and the usual co-brand travel conveniences.
- Fee positioning: a mid-range annual fee, so the value depended on actually redeeming at least one ticket voucher each year.
How the value stacked up
The card worked best for people who flew Vistara a few times a year and could turn the voucher and CV Points into real flights; for infrequent flyers it was harder to justify the fee. With Vistara now merged into Air India, that value has moved to Air India’s Maharaja Club and its co-branded cards.
Choosing a successor card
If your points came mainly from flying, an Air India co-branded card is the closest replacement because it feeds the same Maharaja Club programme your Club Vistara balance transitioned into. If you would rather not tie yourself to one airline, a general travel-rewards card lets you move points across multiple airline and hotel partners. Either way, match the annual fee to how often you fly — an airline co-brand only pays for itself if you use its voucher and benefits each year.
