We need to pay custom charges from our pocket?they ship it from Netherlands,will attract customs,so no point I guess
This is an open ended question. Both Accor and MB are great programs. The best for you would be that program which has hotels in the location you want to visit. From your question it seems that you want to park points in one of these programs, if that is the case just imagine you move points to one of these programs but they have no convenient hotels at the place you are visiting. So my advise would be to not transfer points.Need your urgent help, which is best accor or Marriott bonvoy? And what is the validity of the points?
Thank you so much for help, well in future planning trip to south east asia, Maldives, Europe or usa so what will be good? And can you explain how er to itc to mb give more value?This is an open ended question. Both Accor and MB are great programs.

If you still want to, I would suggest go with Accor as there you can extract a good return at Rs 1.8 per ER.
Validity of Accor points is 1 year but it can easily be extended by just transferring a few points or spending a few points (as low as 1000).
Validity of MB points is 2 years but it can easily be extended by just transferring a few points or spending a few points.
If you do plan onto moving your points to MB, go via the ITC route (ER -> ITC -> MB). You will get a better rate there.
Only ibis in Accor brand is having small rest rooms and shower area pls note itI've been planning a long trip to SE Asia - specifically Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand.
Most of the destinations I plan to visit, Accor group has something in the budget i need it with good reviews. Top that with great conversation ratio, accor has become no brainer for me. I plan to keep pushing the points to accor as and when axis keeps giving the salary
Sure - you can just login online and click to redeem the voucher. It will take you to property search page where you can check availability for your dates. You can also call Taj epicure team for the samecan you tell me how to check the availability for taj epicure?
ITC to MB is in 2:3 ratio but you can only transfer 60k per calendar year.Thank you so much for help, well in future planning trip to south east asia, Maldives, Europe or usa so what will be good? And can you explain how er to itc to mb give more value?
You may end up paying 22% duty first and 18% gst on top of it. Google import duties and gst of mobile phones in india.Please someone guide me, how can I buy iPhone using Accor points?
Any custom charges i have to pay from my pocket?
Yes.You may end up paying 22% duty first and 18% gst on top of it. Google import duties and gst of mobile phones in india.
In short - Not worth it
How can we pay that custom duty then? Do those customer officers contact us?Yes.
To add to the point:
It's shipped from Netherlands. I mailed them about customs duty asked if it's possible to pay it to them via points so that we don't have to and they said, no. They send it through India Post only internationally, and custom duty is counted on CIF value written on the parcel. No way around it. Have to pay it.
Yes, you get sms/mail. It's online afaik.How can we pay that custom duty then? Do those customer officers contact us?
Depends.How can we pay that custom duty then? Do those customer officers contact us?
If you're fortunate, your parcel may clear customs without incurring any taxes. However, if the customs officer decides to open and inspect the parcel, you will be required to pay the full tax amount. Typically, you will receive a letter or SMS from the courier company, in this case, the Indian Post Office, notifying you about the payment.How can we pay that custom duty then?
