Welcome & Activation Benefits
- 100% Digital Onboarding: The primary “welcome” feature is the instant issuance of a virtual card. Users can link the card to a UPI app and start transacting immediately without waiting for a physical kit.
- Activation Cashback (Introductory): New users have historically been eligible for a 1% cashback on “Scan & Pay” transactions made via the credit card on UPI immediately after activation.
- Kiwis Rewards System: Upon activation via the Kiwi app, users earn “Kiwis” (rewards). Each “Kiwi” is currently worth ₹0.25, and these can be redeemed directly into the user’s linked bank account.
- Fuel Surcharge Waiver: A 1% fuel surcharge waiver is active from the first transaction for spends between ₹400 and ₹4,000 (Capped at ₹150 per month).
- Milestone-Based Onboarding Offers: While not a fixed welcome gift, the bank frequently runs “Kickoff” campaigns where users can earn small, tiered cashback amounts (ranging from ₹10 to ₹250) for completing their first few UPI scans within the first 30 days.
CARD REVIEW The Axis Bank KWIK Credit Card is a highly efficient tool for users who have moved away from physical wallets toward UPI-based payments. Its primary strength lies in its “Lifetime Free” nature, offering a risk-free entry into the credit ecosystem. It is best for individuals who want to earn rewards on small, daily transactions at local merchants where traditional credit cards are often not accepted.
Value for money is exceptional given there are zero costs involved in owning the card. However, its limitations are inherent to its design; it is strictly a digital product and lacks the “lifestyle” bells and whistles like lounge access, movie tickets, or high-tier rewards. It is a functional, no-frills card perfect for the modern mobile user.
