Axis Bank Vistara credit cards stop for spends after 15 December 2026: what to do
Axis Bank says its Vistara credit cards will be discontinued for spends after 15 December 2026. What cardholders should check and do before the date.
Axis Bank has put a notice on its Vistara credit card pages: the cards will be discontinued for spends after 15 December 2026. If you hold one of these cards, plan your switch now.
What the bank says
The pages for the Axis Bank Vistara, Vistara Signature and Vistara Infinite credit cards say the card "will be discontinued for spends post 15 December 2026 following the merger of Vistara with Air India". Axis asks cardholders to apply for another Axis Bank credit card to keep earning rewards and offers.
The notice does not say what happens to your card account after that date, or to unused vouchers and points. A press report says Axis has terms, dated 21 September 2026, for an offer of a different Axis card to select primary cardholders. Axis decides who gets the offer, and the benefits need a first spend within 30 days of the new card. We could not read those terms ourselves.
What you can do
- Move any auto-debits, subscriptions and bill payments to another card or to UPI before 15 December 2026.
- Spend on the card before the date if you are close to a milestone. The notice does not say what happens to milestone benefits you have not yet earned, so ask Axis in writing.
- Redeem or note your points and any vouchers, and keep your statements.
- Ask Axis whether you are eligible for a replacement card and what it costs. Compare it with the other cards on our card changes page before you accept.
- Do not close the card before you pay the full statement balance.
These dates are from the bank's own pages, which carry no announcement date. Check the current page and your latest statement message for your exact card. This guide is for information only.
