Hello everyone!
I am currently being offered an upgrade from my amex plat travel to amex platinum charge and being given 1,35,000 points on paying the fee.
I also have an MRCC.
I understand this offer is pretty common although I have a specific use case and I was hoping for guidance from the community.
So I have an Australia trip planned later this year. I am planning to fly Singapore airlines, Malaysian airlines or indigo+ Qantas via Delhi, Bangalore or Chennai( waiting on visa and will choose appropriately after).
Now what I would like to know is by paying fees of Rs,70,800 and in return getting 1.35L points, can I get more value per point ( in comparison to buying the ticket from the airline directly )for any of the above airlines? Preferably round trip ticket?
If I get the above, I see it as great value as I would anyways spend that money for the ticket but now I can get access to the lounges and also a few hotel tiers that I can make use of this year.
Please note: my spends don't match what a typical amex platinum charge holder would spend and that's why I don't intend on renewing it after the first year as I won't be able to maximise the rewards through spends.
I'm also very new to the miles game so please take that into consideration in your explanation and suggestions. Thanks!
Edit: I also have 40k amex points accumulated and happy to use that if it helps
