Axis Bank REWARDS Credit Card: rewards, caps and exclusions

The Axis Bank REWARDS Credit Card pays about 3.2% on Shopping, on the first ₹7,000 of spend a cycle, and 0.32% on everything else. Below is every rate, cap and exclusion in Axis Bank's published terms, as we last checked them on 9 October 2026.

What it earns

≈0.32%Everything elseno cap stated

≈ marks a rate paid in points, valued at ₹0.2 a point. That is Zenidhi's conservative valuation, the same one the audit uses: the cheap end of what the points can be redeemed for, never the best transfer. Redeemed well, they can be worth more.
