The Axis Bank Horizon Credit Card is a travel-centric credit card, offering generous rewards and travel benefits. If you are familiar with Axis Credit Cards, you may recognize this card as the basic version of the popular Atlas Credit Card. The joining charge for this card is ₹3,000, and the same amount is charged as an annual fee. While the premium features of this travel credit card justify the fee, there is a slight drawback as there is no spend-based annual fee waiver, so you would have to pay the fees. This card is most beneficial for those who want to earn accelerated rewards for travel bookings and are looking for complimentary airport lounge access. The Axis Horizon Credit Card is available in Mastercard World and Visa Signature variants, both of which offer distinctive features and rewards. There is a slight difference in the number of domestic airport lounge visits offered. With the Mastercard variant, you would get six complimentary visits, and with the Visa variant, you would get eight. If you want to learn more about this card, keep reading for an in-depth look.
