How I Earned Rs.2500 Cashback with Axis Bank Priority Debit Card

By | May 19, 2021

All of us are searching hard to find the best credit card with higher reward rate through points or as direct cash back. But we’re missing out some unbelievable offers that are available even on debit cards. Once such card is axis bank’s priority debit card that can easily save you 10% of your spends made online. Let’s dive into the details.

Cashback Offer details on Axis Bank Priority Debit Card:

Priority Customers spending Rs. 20,000 or more, online, in a quarter on their Priority Debit Card (only online spends) will get to choose from one of the below mentioned rewards, every quarter:

  1. 10% Cash back capped at Rs 2500 / quarter (or)
  2. Option to convert above cash back to equivalent eDGE loyalty points

Quarter” is defined as below:

  1. “1st January to 31st March”
  2. “1st April to 30th June”
  3. “1st July to 30th September”
  4. “1st October to 31st December”

So basically you need to spend Rs.25,000 online in a span of 3 months to avail a maximum cashback of Rs. 2500, considering 4 quarters in a year, that’s about Rs.10,000 in savings just for using a DEBIT card.

It’s a perfect fit for most of the families who spend about 1Lakh on the card, on quick research I just realized most of my friends are fitting in to this category and they can save 10k very easily. But the downside is the minimum balance that you need to maintain to avail this card.

Redemption:

Once you’ve done the purchase, wait for a week or two and then you can claim the offer by clicking the offer page which pops up at the bottom of the screen once you login to the net banking a/c. Its a 2 click process and you get the funds on your linked savings a/c instantly as below.

How to get Axis Bank Priority debit card:

  • Open priority savings ac with 2 Lakh balance
  • You need to maintain AQB of 2 Lakh to keep this card free.
  • If you’re upgrading your ac from regular savings ac to priority, ask them to issue priority debit card post account upgrade.

My account upgrade was a big headache and as it fell under the demonetization days, it went worse. It took them about 2 months to upgrade my ac, but if your planetary positions are good, you may get it done in a week or two. It’s relatively easy to open a new priority ac on other hand.

So from the array of debit cards, this is the BEST DEBIT CARD you can ever have in the cashback perspective and next comes the HDFC debit card that gives you 1% cash back on both online/offline spends upto Rs.750 a month.

    4 days ago I opened a priority account with Axis Bank. Thanks a lot for this amazing information. As always bank representative has not informed me about this offer.
    I want Axis credit card so i have opened this account.
    Should I apply for credit card immediately or should I wait for 6 months ?
    My annual income is Rs. 3.27 lakhs any my CIBIL is 783.

      Do some txns for them to enable the CC offer automatically. If its new a/c, yes you need to wait for 6 months to get the card based on txn.
      You can also get based on ITR.

    Well Sid, there is one more cashback debit card in your kitty. The IndusInd signature one. You earn Rs. 1500 on spending Rs. 62,500; which is equivalent to 2.4%. You can get this every month (18k benefit annually)

    The condition is that 62,500 or more needs to be spent in one single transaction as they have tiered reward structure.

    And now the best part – you don’t even need to do this spending to earn Rs. 1500 every month. Just pay your any credit card bill using Indus net banking, and choose to pay using your debit card instead of bank account on Indus banking page. Done!

    IndusInd bank will treat payment as spends on its debit card and will offer you reward points.

      Yes, i’m availing this every month for about an year.
      But never know it can be used for credit card bill pay. Anyways i don’t have Indusind CC. Will look into this though.
      Thanks for the info 🙂

      1. Kapil Khurana

        You don’t need IndusInd cc necessarily. Any cc bill (hdfc / stanC/ kotak etc) paid using indusnet, will do good. BillDesk facilitates this. Once you are asked to login to Indus net banking, make sure you pay using the debit card instead of bank account.

            I don’t know if it will work. IndusInd specifically mentions that such transactions by debit card under the netbanking section won’t qualify for IndusMoney Points. Can anyone confirm this?

          2. Rohit

            This does not work on indusind debit card. Although the bill pay banner says it will be treated as a debit card spend, sadly it does not qualify to get reward points 🙁

          3. Abhishek Roy

            The option of debit card isnt there. I tried doing that. Now the only thing they show is Netbanking.

  3. Captain Bishuddha Bharatiya

    I was thinking of adding money from this card to paytm and than from paytm to bank. I have to do this in multiples of Rs. 5 thousand. Hope it will be considered as online transaction. So I will get cashback in March right ?
    I can also add my family members to my Priority account and they will also get priority debit card for free. I can get cashback from their accounts also.

      When you are retrieving the money from paytm to bank, are you axis priority account to deposit the money, else I think paytm might charge of 2% of txn amount

        You can load money into payzapp and than you can transfer it to any bank account instantly. This way an AXIS bank priority account holder can easily qualify for online spends and can get 10% cashback quaterly.

    Can any one suggest Best Debit card or Credit card which offers maximum rewards and I should be able to convert that rewards into Cash directly and maintain less minimum balance in case of savings account like up to 50k average balance. Like similar to HDFC debit card (I am using it right now) which offers 1% cashback irrespective of type of transaction.

    Thanks for your valuable information.

    Hi Sid, I just came across to your website and I am loving it.

    Just to analyse this offer further, Axis Bank wants you to maintain 2 lac rupees AQB which means that you will be only getting a 4% ROI on the 2 lac locked account. If I compare it to tax free ROI in the market, we are losing 3-4% as an opportunity cost. This equals anywhere between 1500 to 2000 INR per quarter. So, net net, I am only saving 500 to 1000 rupees from this deal per quarter.

    Now the question is that is it worth maintaining a new account for 2000 to 4000 / year?

    Terms & Conditions

    please note that in terms and cond.. it says no rewards for debit under netbanking, please elaborate how if we pay cc bills using debit card we can get rewards

    The below Terms & Conditions will need to be applicable for the rewards payout

    Transactions made on merchant categories – Mutual Funds, insurance and payment to government will not earn these additional Indus Money points.
    These points will be capped to a maximum per month limit of 2000 points for Platinum Cards and 3000 points for Signature Cards.
    All other IndusMoney Terms and conditions of Platinum Card apply.
    Transactions done via Debit Card under the NetBanking section will not be eligible for IndusMoney points.

      Yes you are right Thomas. Debit card used for payment via net banking didn’t give me the points. It was actually a parallel transaction which did.

        Usually it takes 3-4 working days from the transaction date to credit the points. Once credited, you can immediately request redemption which takes another 2-3 days to reflect as money credit. So total lead time is typically a week.

        Axis Bank is clearly can’t keep up their offers. Again, Rs. 500+Tax Card from ICICI Bank (talking about Coral Card) is more beneficial as compared to Axis Bank’s 2 Lac + Average Monthly Balance Account.

    Now it has been only 5 months when I last applied. So do you think I should apply again right now throgh ITR ( 4.01 lakhs annual income ) or should I wait for automatic offer to trigger just to be on the safe.

    So basically you need to spend Rs.25,000 online in a span of 4 months to avail a maximum cashback of Rs. 2500, considering 4 quarters in a year, that’s about Rs.10,000 in savings just for using a DEBIT card.

      @harshit – I did a txn on 10-Jan on phonepe and although it took a week to recognize this, it did eventually clocked as an online spend.

      @balaji – they only call out paytm as exclusion –
      T&Cs specify – 3. Spends done on Wallets will be excluded from this offer. All transactions done on PayTm, PayTm wallet, PayTm mall, PayTm payment gateway will also be excluded from this offer

      yesterday I tried phonepe and it is considered as valid online transaction. I used phonepe and paid airtel broadband bill via debitcard. I didn’t topup the wallet.

      So final list from my side

      Included : Amazon, Ola money,Phone Pe, Nikki.ai (I load amazon pay and use nikki.ai to pay bills)
      Excluded : Paytm, Mobikwik

    Now this is worse. Mobikwik,Paytm,FreeCharge aren’t considered as online payment, even if we pay bills via those gateways(I mean, without adding to the wallet).

    Are spends on Amazon still included in the offer (shopping or recharges)?
    They are not wallet loadings but actual purchases, and are not showing up as recorded for 1 week.

    Any idea about Flipkart?

    Reply
    1. balaji

      Yes. Amazon spends are considered. Recently when Amazon had 250 cashback for Amazon Wallet load of 5000 INR, I loaded it using Axis Priority debit card and it is considered.

      I think it would be the same with flipkart too.

      Mines is also priority savings salary account. I get the 10% quarterly cashback, but not this 750rs.
      Can you please elaborate?

      Reply
  47. GTMAX

    Firstly, the criteria to get this 1% cashback (Max up to 750/- in a month) is to have a Priority Salary account(not just savings account). Transact as usual with your Priority Debit card(online/offline). Cashback for a particular months transaction will be available for redemption by 15th-16th of next month. Also you need to transaction for a minimum of 15000/- every month to be eligible for this.

    Follow this path for cashback redemption: Services -> Account Services -> Cashback for Premium Customers

    Reply
    1. balaji

      My account type shows “Savings”.
      When I followed the path shown by you, it shows “Sorry Cashback is not avilable for your account”. Will talk to my RM, as he says that mines is a salary account.

        You can make 2500/quarter to 5000, if you have Axis Privilege credit card and redeem for 12500 edge points instead of 2500 rs
        I will get 5000 Yatra voucher for 12500 points

    ” W.e.f 1st Oct’19, 10% cashback on online spends of Axis Bank Priority Debit Card can be redeemed only for EDGE REWARD points. T&C apply https://bit.ly/2nMG1dV
    So the 2500 direct cashback to bank account is discontinued
    So is this still as beneficial to justify 2 lacs average balance?

    Reply
    1. R K S

      If you do regular shopping on Amazon, Flipkart etc. then you can convert the points to gift vouchers from the rewards store.
      Even now you have the choice of Rs.2500 or 12500 points, for which you can get exactly Rs.2500 worth gift vouchers.
      This assumes that the same reward ratio will continue, and that they will keep Amazon and Flipkart vouchers.
      But the options are not as attractive and direct as cash in the back.

    I have paid a credit card bill of 1.1Lakh thru Axis Priority debit card on Oct1st. I got the edge rewards credited to the account on Oct 14th. BUT, the 10% priority cashback is not yet available. Earlier I used to get both the edge rewards for debit card spends and 10% priority cashback offer.

    Is anyone facing the same issue ? Their customer care is not helpful.

      I did transactions on Oct 1st, edge rewards posted on 12th or 13th and redeemed for 2.5K cashback on same day. Maybe wait for few more days and then escalate, but mostly you need to fight for long to get the cashback, because Axis support is terrible based on my experience.

      HY Mahendra,

      Yes, Axis Priority Cars still offers the same cashback up to 2500 per quarter.

      For unlimited cashback, I am using Axis Flipkart Credit card as they add cashback in next bill cycle and to make payment for that i use my Axis Priority Debit Card to pay the bill through CRED. Unfortunately now CRED allows only a single transaction up to 2000 per month through a debit card.

    Earlier one could choose from 2500 Rs cashback in bank account or 12500 reward points which could be redeemed to get Amazon Flipkart etc vouchers.
    Then the discontinued Rs 2500 casback offer.
    And from 1st April 2020 they have discontinued the 12500 reward points offer too.

    Now I am using Amazon icici credit card which gives 5% unlimited Amazon Pay balance on purchasing from Amazon and 1% cashback from other ecommerce sites.
    No yearly fees.

    Almost similar offer is available on flipkart Axis bank credit card but the Annual fee is 500 Rs.

    Please keep us informed if there comes any other good cashback debit or credit card.

    Now even for ecom transactions they are not providing edge reward points on this debit card. Not mentioned anywhere in the terms and conditions. For CRED and school fee payments I used to get reward points. But since May 2021 the transactions are marked with 0 reward points.
