Axis Bank is putting a spend condition on the movie offers of four credit cards from 1 November 2026. To use the "Buy one get one" free District offer on the MY ZONE, PRIVILEGE and SELECT cards, the cardholder must spend Rs 25,000 in the previous 3 months. On the NEO card, the same Rs 25,000 rule applies to the 10% instant discount of up to Rs 100 on BookMyShow.

The rule is set out in each card's revised terms: MY ZONE, PRIVILEGE, SELECT and NEO. A separate Axis Bank standard terms note repeats it: from 1 November 2026, the movie offer needs a minimum eligible spend of Rs 25,000 in the preceding 3 calendar months.

How the spend is counted: only transactions settled in the preceding 3 calendar months count, and settlement can take up to 5 working days. Interest, fees, charges, reversals, refunds and other bank dues do not count. An EMI counts only at the monthly instalment billed in that cycle, not at the full purchase value. Spends are counted at account level.

New cards get a waiver for the month of issue and the following 3 calendar months. An upgrade from one card variant to another is not a new issuance. An additional card issued alongside an existing card relationship is treated as a new issuance.

What stays the same: once the spend is met, the number of free tickets or discounts and the limits follow each card's existing terms. The MY ZONE product page lists the District offer as 100% off the second ticket, up to Rs 200 off a month, with the code AXIS200.

The SELECT terms carry one more change. From 15 November 2026, complimentary memberships linked to the SELECT card will renew only with the cardholder's explicit consent. Axis says renewal details and consent options will be shared closer to the renewal date.
