Our Expert Take

Axis Bank Cashback Card uses a tiered structure that rewards higher spenders more: 2% up to ₹5,000 in monthly online spend, climbing to 7% above ₹40,000. It's a strong card if your online spending is genuinely high volume; below that, the 0.75% flat rate on offline and travel spending is more modest.
