† Axis Bank REWARDS: Axis's own Rewards T&C states it in the earn clause: "1 EDGE rewards = INR 0.20". The card's transfer route is the 10 EDGE Reward Points = 1 partner mile bucket (5:1 to ITC, SpiceJet and AirAsia), a quarter of Magnus's 5:2. Our 0.32% headline prices the ₹0.20 redemption in — the house ₹0.40 EDGE value belongs to the premium Axis cards, not this one.
† Flipkart Axis Bank Super Elite: SuperCoins are marketed at ₹1 each; our house value is ₹0.40, set by the best real exit (5:2 into Air India Maharaja Club at ₹1/mile). On Flipkart itself they cap out at a slice of order value, which is why the marketing number never survives contact with a checkout.
Neither issuer publishes an income floor for these two. Axis Bank REWARDS is open to a direct application; Flipkart Axis Bank Super Elite is closed to new applications, and only grandfathered holders still have it. How people actually get Flipkart Axis Bank Super Elite is on its card page.

Ranking-value face-off
Everyday spend at each card's base rate plus a realistic ~20% at its best accelerator (less for narrow or capped boosters) — milestones, fee waivers and the redemption haircut all at our house ₹/point. That's why the biggest headline rate doesn't automatically win. This is the ranking model, the one that orders the board; each card page prints the earn-rate-only net annual value instead, which reads lower for any card with an accelerator (both models, side by side). Tune it to your own spend in the calculator.
