Overview

The Axis Bank Shoppers Stop Credit Card is built around the First Citizen loyalty programme, making it one of the few credit cards in India that rewards department store shopping at an accelerated rate. Every ₹200 spent on private label brands at Shoppers Stop earns 20 First Citizen accelerated points, while beauty products and other brands at the store earn 12 points per ₹200. Points flow directly into your First Citizen account, where each point carries a redemption value of ₹0.50.Welcome benefits give the card a solid start. New cardholders receive First Citizen reward points worth ₹300 on their first transaction within 30 days, plus Shoppers Stop vouchers totalling ₹2,250 redeemable at Shoppers Stop and Homestop. A complimentary Golden Glow membership further unlocks tier-specific perks within the First Citizen programme.Beyond the Shoppers Stop ecosystem, the card earns 2 First Citizen points per ₹200 on all other purchases. A 15% discount on EazyDiner (capped at ₹500 per month on minimum orders of ₹2,500) adds dining value, while a 1% fuel surcharge waiver applies on transactions between ₹400 and ₹5,000.At ₹500 joining and annual fee (waivable on ₹1 lakh annual spend), the card is positioned as an entry-level co-branded product. The lack of airport lounge access, no standalone cashback structure, and low earn rate outside Shoppers Stop limit its appeal for general spending. However, for anyone already spending regularly at Shoppers Stop stores, the accelerated points and welcome vouchers deliver noticeable value.

Pros

↑20 accelerated First Citizen points per ₹200 on Shoppers Stop private label brands gives the highest earn rate among co-branded retail cards in this segment
↑Welcome benefits worth over ₹2,500 (vouchers plus First Citizen points) provide immediate value that effectively covers the first year's joining fee
↑Annual fee of ₹500 is waivable on ₹1 lakh spend, which is an achievable threshold for regular Shoppers Stop customers

Cons

↓Earn rate of 2 points per ₹200 outside Shoppers Stop (₹0.50 per point) translates to just 0.5% return, well below most entry-level cards
↓No airport lounge access at any tier, which puts it behind even zero-fee cards like the Axis My Zone that offer 4 domestic lounge visits
↓Reward points are locked into the First Citizen ecosystem with limited redemption flexibility compared to universal cashback or bank reward points

The primary cardholder must be between 18 and 70 years old and a resident of India. Axis Bank does not publicly specify a minimum income requirement for this card. Approval depends on the bank's internal credit assessment including credit score and income documentation.

You need a PAN card (or Form 60), income proof such as latest payslip, Form 16, or IT return, and residence proof like driving license, electricity bill, or landline telephone bill. Self-employed applicants need IT returns and business proof instead of payslips.
