Before deciding to cancel a Axis bank credit card, the customer needs to consider the following points:
Axis bank can also terminate a credit card at its sole discretion without any specific reason or cause. If done so, the cardholder will have to clear all the outstanding amount on the credit card immediately. Apart from that, no annual fees or other charges would be refunded on basis of pro-rata.

To request the bank to reactivate the closed Axis bank credit card, the customers need to raise request. However, the request can be raised only when the cardholder has cancelled the card himself/herself. To reactivate a closed credit card offered by Axis bank, the applicant needs to call customer care centers and validate the credit card number, expiry date, Date of birth and registered mobile number. The credit card can also be reactivated by sending an email to the bank authorities along with an identity proof and a passport size photograph.
Before canceling your credit card, it is very important to log into your credit card’s online account on your bank’s website and cancel all the automatic bill payments or transfers that you have set up on your card. If you fail to cancel your automatic payments, the bills will continue to be sent to your card, which will then be declined once your card is closed, causing a fee to be levied for delayed or missed payments.
Yes, it is very important to pay off your outstanding dues before closing your Axis Bank credit card. If you can afford to do so, then pay it off in full. However, if you cannot afford to do so, you could take a personal loan or transfer the balance to a lower-interest credit card.
Yes, you can redeem all your reward points, either as cashback, air miles, or reward points from the catalogue before you close your credit card.
It will take at least 4 to 6 weeks for the changes related to closing your credit card to appear in your credit report.
It is important that your credit report or history reflects that one of your credit cards is closed. For this reason, you should file a dispute with your credit card bureau or contact your credit card lender to get your records updated at the earliest.
