I am kind of spending most of spends in DCB and getting the base return of 3.33 and using smartbuy to get 6.6 to 9.9% returns. I am using the rewards to book domestic flights mostly with 70% utilisation of rewards as vistara doesn't have the network in the places where I am flying most of the times. But I was using magnus previously to get Accor points for hotel stays. I have to close my magnus card by October else I have to pay annual fee(which I will not do). I am kind of spending around 12 lakhs in DCB. I am confused on should I go for atlas because DCB conversation to accor is 2:1, which is less compared to conversion rate towards flights which I am using. I wanted some suggestions here

so, this is kind of your primary card.
and getting the base return of 3.33 and using smartbuy to get 6.6 to 9.9% returns.
and you're using effectively on accelarated reward.

so, your requirement domestic flights?
But I was using magnus previously to get Accor points for hotel stays.
or hotel which must and should be Accor related?
I have to close my magnus card by October else I have to pay annual fee(which I will not do).
Close it.

which waives the fee waiver for DCB.

normally 2:1 if we assume 1 accor point = 1.8rs. then 1 reward point = 0.9p. and if spent on smartbuy it can be 2.7p.
so, reward ratio (on 150rs. spent) = 3% to 9%

and same if spent using atlas (it has limit in accor but hoping you're ok with it), then it will be

4.2% to 18%.

its upto you..
