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
 
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.
 
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)?
 
Flights: Vistara was great.
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

that is dummy url. you need to paste the whole url that you get for a property from the ihg site.
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.
