Best Axis Transfer Partners
Axis Bank currently offers around 20 transfer partners. Most are usable, but because annual caps apply separately to Group A and Group B, it’s worth prioritising higher-value partners before making transfers across groups.
Best Axis Hotel Transfer Partners
These Axis Bank hotel transfer partners are worth considering:
- ITC:
- If you stay in India multiple times, having ITC Green Points is a great option. You get ₹1 value for every ITC Green point, sometimes more during promotions.
- IHG:
- Limited use cases. Transfers usually make sense during promotions or only if you already have a specific redemption in mind or if you’re booking at new hotels for award discounts.
- Speculative transfers generally don’t offer good value.
- Wyndham Rewards:
- Useful when cash prices are high, thanks to Wyndham’s fixed award tiers (7,500 / 15,000 / 30,000 points per night).
- Best for budget or mid-range stays, where award pricing beats cash rates.
Best Axis Airline Transfer Partners
Axis has several good transfer partners, but these are the airline transfer partners that make sense:
- Air Canada Aeroplan Points:
- Generally offers better award availability and allows stopovers on all routes for just 5000 points.
- Works well for Europe and Africa, with access to multiple Star Alliance partners.
- Japan Airlines:
- Can deliver strong value on select partner redemptions and occasional award discounts.
- Avoid speculative transfers; your JAL account must be at least 60 days old before booking.
- British Airways/Finnair:
- Avios is one of the most flexible miles currencies and works across several partner airlines.
- Useful for premium cabins and short-haul awards, depending on routing.
- Singapore Krisflyer:
- Good option for Singapore Airlines Business and First Class redemptions.
- Extra value during KrisFlyer Spontaneous Escapes.
- Air France-KLM:
- Works well for short-haul Asia and economy awards, especially during Promo Rewards.
- Surcharges can be high, so always check the total cash vs miles.
- Air India:
- Makes sense mainly when cash fares are high or on select routes.
- Otherwise, Aeroplan or KrisFlyer usually offer better value.
- Qantas:
- Useful for Emirates Business Class and Cathay Pacific awards due to better availability.
- From 18 Feb 2026, Emirates First Class requires Qantas Silver status.
Frequently Asked Questions

Most point transfers are not instant and can take 2-3 days for most partners. However, for some partners, it may take up to 10 days.
No. Overall, capping and Group A & Group B will apply to the highest card. For example, if you have Burgundy Private and Magnus Burgundy, your limit will be based on Burgundy Private, i.e., a maximum of 15,00,000 annually for all cards combined.
If you have two Miles cards, that is, Atlas (Edge Miles) & Olympus (Edge Miles), the total capping will be based on the highest capping between these two cards, i.e., the customer will be able to transfer 7,50,000 miles annually for all Edge miles combined.
Marriott Bonvoy is a good program, and there are several ways to earn Marriott Bonvoy points. From Axis, it makes sense to transfer via ITC to earn more points rather than transferring it directly. However, a quarterly limit applies.
Bottomline
Axis Bank has several transfer partners and several conditions. Firstly, these transfer partners are segregated into two groups. Additionally, there is a transfer limit at the Customer ID level. Then, there is a transfer ratio. The transfer limit is reset on 1st January every year.
