Mam, as per air india flying return program, one paid ticket for cardholder and 5 paid tickets for others is required. Whether, these conditions will be applied in this case.

Credit where credit is due-this is a well-researched video, and it's the quality we expect from you. However, please avoid posting videos like the previous one, where a poor product was promoted. I understand the need for revenue, and affiliate income and referral bonuses (like today's) are excellent sources. I’m not against sponsorship videos, but please promote products that won't harm your credibility.

[@mohdkhalid01]

I want to know whether axis and other banks may close their Vistara cards once the CV program is over? Until. When should I keep using the Axis Vistara card

Some foreign destinations - mumbai to maldives air india requires lesser points as compared to vistara. Air india needs 8000 points to club vistara which needs 10000 points.

If merger in between them..also can i use my points which will be converted to flying returns in their star allinace flight on the same value or not??

[@CardAcademy]

Vistara will not cease to exist this year. You'll be able to fly between June to August. Star alliance airlines points requirement may vary.

[@rakshammahajan7011]

I just got my CV SBI prime card today. Should I spend on this card and try to achieve the milestone benefits and earn CV points? Or should I cancel this card? My main goal is to achieve 1.5lac milestones and earn around 5k CV points(which I would with 1.5l spends) so that I can redeem in total 3 free flights(2-prem Eco & 1 Eco). Need your opinion. What should I do?

[@optionswizard]

What about free flight vouchers that we get on paying annual fees on vistara credit cards?

[@Rajiv2891]

Do flights booking from other platforms like MMT etc will also earn CV or tier points or it has to be booked from their official website?

If your CV id is captured, then yes.

Thanks for this informational video, very crisp I have Axis Vistara Infinite is due for renewal on 22 Sept 2024, as per Vistara customer care, I have only ~7500 tier points and as per new rules, I will not be renewed for CV Gold membership from October 2024 and will be downgraded to Flying Returns Silver tier and at the same time I will be charged ₹10000 renewal fee If I choose to Opt-In, will I get migrated Flying Returns before Oct 2024 or only when Vistara program ends, which could be in 2025 as well Will Vistara program continue beyond Oct 2024? Please guide for my scenario, should I opt out or opt in for merger

[@CardAcademy]

This is something that we're also not sure about that whether migration will happen only when Vistara programme ends or it can happen before that as well. Ideally it should be after the program ends.

[@user-oe6uc8vj5b]

What about milestone benefits.. im using axis vistara infinite card.. should i get milestone vouchers after achieving limit are not

Yes. Vouchers also would be migrated to Air India with remaining validity.

[@karmicirony]

None

[@souravagarwal5787]

I am not at all happy with this merger... I have lots of vouchers and points left. The expiry period of Vistara CV points was really good. And it will be tough to use all points & vouchers within a year after the migration.

[@CardAcademy]

You're getting confused. As far as vouchers go the validity will be same after migration also. Coming to points, suppose you have 10,000 CV points. 2000 CV points are expiring on 31st December, 2024; 3000 CV Points on 30th June, 2025; and the rest 5000 CV Points on 31st December, 2025. And if we assume that the programme merges from 1st September, 2024. Now, as of 1st September, 2024, 2000 CV points which are expiring on 31st December, 2024 and 3000 CV Points which are expiring on 30th June, 2025 have a validity less than one year. Now, these 5000 CV points will have a validity of one year i.e. these will remain valid till 31st August, 2025. Rest 5000 CV points which have a validity greater than one year will retain its original validity i.e. 31st December, 2025. With regard to expiry there should not be any concern.
