Axis Magnus Has Airvistara been removed as a Transfer Partner?

[AnkTechno]

Hi All,

Just wanted to check if anyone has noticed this change in Transfer Partners for EdgeRewards.

I wanted to add some CV POINTS to my account but unable to find it as a partner in the AxisMobile app.

Any suggestions??

I have some points in vistara but when trying to book via points it shows not available .. I vaguely remember someone in other post mentioned that we can book vistara / airindia ticket using some other 3rd party star alliance member .. which one was it and who gives decent conversion ? need to book ticket urgently

Krisflyer and United.

I transferred around 60k worth Accor points from Axis and feel myself lucky. Now started transferring from HDFC DCB card as well. Who knows HDFC can also stop it. Even with 1:1 in HDFC, it's decent return if used in Accor.

I feel this pause is just to boost other partners. With this fear people will redeem points to transfer to less used partner miles.

Krisflyer and United.

Thank you so much .. how much times it takes for United miles to get credited .. Also can we book vistara flight from there. Its showing in united website but not in vistara

Hi guys,
Assuming the worst case that Accor is permanently removed, what is the best option left in terms of redemption ratio?

for hotels or flights?

Knowing both would be helpful

for hotels or flights?

Yes, it would be great if you could share your insight regarding both hotels & flights.

Hotels: ITC and Marriott. There are several Marriott properties that offer 1 rupee per point, and for ITC, 1 Green Point (GP) equates to 1 rupee. It's important to note that both ITC and Marriott have variable rates. If an ITC hotel quotes 10k Green Points for a room, the rate could drop to 8k after a few days. The same variability applies to Marriott.

Flights: Vistara was great. Apart from Vistara, you can get good redemptions with KrisFlyer, United, and Turkish. There are relevant threads for these where people have mentioned their annoyances. I don't have any idea about Qatar or Aeroplan.

with united being the only partner where points never expire, it could be a good last resort to transfer if there are no immediate travel plans. Any thoughts?

Thanks for your fast response. For budget hotel categories, I guess IHG is another option. Any idea what does one IHG point equate to (in INR)?

Not a good redemption. Less than 0.5p You can see calendar view in a script i wrote: https://ihg.cmgdo.com/ if required.

As an aside, how are you folks able to redeem Vistara? I was recently browsing some routes I might take in the future (all the way upto April/May 2024) and no Economy or even PE seats were available at the base rates. Tickets that I can buy for 6k are for 12K+ points already.

July 3rd revenue ticket is 8.1k. So 7500+690 takes will take it to 1:1

Perfect. Great work with the script, pretty useful 🙂.
I agree, IHG is not VFM at all (in terms of redemption ratio).

On further analysis, I believe ITC to be of good value. I can see few options where 1 GP > 1 INR . While Marriott points are of pretty low value (even when you consider the fact that you get 3 Marriott Points for every 2 GP).

Marriott depends upon location and hotel category.

Is there any link for hotels by the category?
