Axis Bank Adds New Miles Transfer Partners to Travel Edge platform
Axis Bank is one of India’s finest banks and have offered exclusive banking and credit card services to their customers for a long time now. Last year, Axis Bank started the transfer of credit card reward points to partner hotels and airlines like the Marriot Bonvoy, Singapore Airlines, United Airlines, and many more global brands.
Earlier, EDGE Miles were eligible to be transferred to partner airlines/hotels but now EDGE reward points are also transferrable that allows many more customers to avail full use of their benefits. The Miles Transfer can be done on the Travel Edge portal and Axis Bank just added a few more transfer partners to their already impressive list.
Next, we’ll talk about the new airlines and hotel partners added by Axis Bank to their Miles Transfer program.

These partners are added in addition to some of the most popular airlines and hotels that were already in the program like Turkish Airlines, United Airlines, Marriott, Singapore Airlines, Air Asia, etc.
