I will incorporate your suggestions too.

Maybe I’ll do it after more transfer partners are recommended since I’ll have to change it anyway

How do you use Qantas points? I don't have much experience with Airmiles tbh. I just pay with my cc via the airline's site.

Check award hacker or seats aero for your routes and see which airline has best business class deals. Sometimes have to check on airlines itself. Especially my amex points I transfer to airmiles as bonvoy requirements are shit

What about economy seats and economy class deals to USA and Europe and Japan and Hong Kong Singapore?

Amex is the most useful for bonvoy, why do you think otherwise?

Is it really? I checked for hk taiwan Japan Korea bali and vietnam, most good hotels were 30 to 40k bonvoy points a night

Virgin has decent deals for usa and Europe when they run promos but tax requirement is high. For japan hk and Singapore no sense to pay miles for economy as revenue tickets are cheap from India imho

What is the Virgin miles plus cash requirement for Mumbai to USA?

Thats would value the Marriott point at 30--35 paisa

I second this. If you're serious about Marriott or love the hotel chain, get an Amex card and you'll feel that earning Bonvoy points is so much better.

What travel partners are available and what are conversion ratios? Can't find details on Amex India website.

Thanks for sharing this.

If one has HDFC DCB metal (or for that matter Infinia), where exactly would using Axis Atlas be more beneficial? What would be the best use case of Atlas in that case?

Would it make sense to get Atlas in such case, at least for first year where joining fee is almost recovered (i.e., excl. GST) by welcome benefits (2500 * 2)?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

If the restaurant uses a hotel mcc then yes..
