I use my credit card for myself and wife. It's most probably going to go beyond my salary but below our combined salaries. Will I be in trouble ?

NO

 

[Warlock27]

If someone has a working JAL account, can they please help me with the minimum miles required in Economy and Business (JA and/or partner airlines) from Hyderabad to Amsterdam flight, and from Venice to Hyderabad flight? Any dates in June 2024 should be fine.
I have around 80k ER pending that I want to transfer to an airline. I created a JAL account in July so still can't access it before 1st September.
Thanks in advanced.

guess you can transfer it immediately but not use it until 60 days

Yeah I can transfer but I can't see any miles prices for any tickets (like we can do in KrisFlyer or Turkish). So just want to confirm with someone if I'm getting a better value in JAL then I'll transfer there.

If accor devalues it then transfer it to Avios from Accor at that time.

Nothing is 100% safe. But chance of Accor devaluation is less compared to 100% certainty of Axis ER.

If you want to reduce risk , diversify with Accor and ITC.

does it make sense to transfer 20-30k to ITC given that there hotels are very expensive and would make it for 1 night only

 

[MilesMax]

does it make sense to transfer 20-30k to ITC given that there hotels are very expensive and would make it for 1 night only

At 30k ER you can even get 3nights in some ITC hotels. Sometimes more than 3 if you consider welcomhotels and Fortune which are cheaper than ITC luxury collection hotels

You can redeem it at ITC Maratha Mumbai and ITC Gardenia, Bengaluru. You can get good deals at these properties around 10k per night.

 

[VijayflyRaven]

Just check all locations in ITC and Accor.
I would prefer Accor if points are less. They have Ibis at lower end and Mercure and Novotel for better experience.
I paid only 8k per night in Novotel for some locations. Some locations were just 6k for Mercure (4 star). I paid only 3k in Ibis.

To be honest, I enjoyed Ibis more than Novotel, except for the swimming pool.

 

[Yawar]

I would like to buy 30,000 points for ₹15000.
