Devaluation Best Credit Cards to book stays at Boutique Hotels

[Pissant]

What Credit Cards would reward me the most if I wanted to book a stay at a place like Juvet Landscape Hotel? The only way to book is via their site and they are only open March through November, they are closed in December, January and February. You can only book on their own Website: https://book.juvet.com/accommodation?channelId=6491fc3e-5854-4adc-981e-8a7fe8c5d04a

Thinking of 3 nights in August for a total of 14700 nok = 110000 inr

At first was thinking about using Atlas, but since the payment will be in Norwegian Krone the forex will be 3.8 so not worth it.

A friend has stayed here and confirmed that mcc is hotel so don't need to worry about that.

and what about the rest of the spend above 41k?

 

[ccrnc]

Atlas would be my first choice, even after 4% forex, 6% return is pretty good. My second go to option is Yes Reserv with 3x for 6% return-2% forex. You can get 5x plan as well, which would give you 9%-2% forex on hotels.

I saw 7500 nok per night which is around 50k. How many nights are you planning? If its more, Infinia seems the best if you have it. Samsung infinite + magnus used to be the best combo when I visited Norway last year as I got net 1.28% gain. If you have magnus burgundy, u can go with magnus or samsung infinite.

Scapia for no forex but no rewards. IDFC WoW also is an option but have to open FD.

Are you sure Atlas gives 10% for international transactions?

Yes, have used it internationally for hotels, still gives 10%.

Alternatively if you have access to US cards, my US Amex plat gives 5MR/80rs for hotels, and no forex charge.

Then Atlas seems the best option. Will get milestone benefit too!

Infinia GVP is closed long back. So not that much useful now.
YES Marque is better

Closed? I still get cashback in my DCB.

 

[MangoRush]

If using Atlas, keep all the bills safe, they might ask you 1 year later also 🤢

Will it give 10% in marriot and other chains? If so, it seems better than using US cards!

I only have access to Singaporean Amex Gold, which I don't think will be better.

Right but I thought it only applied for domestic transactions.

A friend has stayed here and confirmed that mcc is hotel so don't need to worry about that.

So you are planning to run away from India and then do these lavish (No men zone) stays all over the world before settling in Singapore. 🤔 Nice Plan.
