About Google Pay Flex Axis Bank Credit Card

The Google Pay Flex Axis Bank Credit Card is a UPI-first credit card designed exclusively for users of the Google Pay app, making it one of the most accessible and versatile credit cards in India. It allows cardholders to pay just like UPI — from neighbourhood kirana stores to popular online apps — for any purchase, big or small. The card can be obtained as a digital card instantly through the Google Pay app, with no joining or annual fees, making it an ideal choice for first-time credit card users. The card's core reward system is built around Stars, where one star equals ₹1 in cashback. Cardholders earn 1 star for every cumulative ₹500 spent, with multipliers unlocking based on spending behaviour. Spending ₹100 or more in a previous cycle unlocks 2X rewards, while spending ₹15,000 or ₹30,000 in a current period unlocks 4X or 8X stars respectively. Stars can be redeemed instantly during UPI payments on Google Pay for direct cashback. Additional benefits include welcome rewards worth ₹500 on Google Pay, up to 15% off on dining through EazyDiner (capped at ₹500 per month), and the flexibility to convert purchases of ₹2,500 or more into easy EMIs. Bill management, spending limits, and card controls are all handled conveniently within the Google Pay app.
