Airasia points query

[tsj49]

Hello,
I have Axis Magnus and I am planning to convert EDGE points to Airasia points as I can see Airasia flights are relatively cheaper for South-East Asia trips. Also, Somewhere on their website, I have seen an offer of giving 50% bonus points while transferring from credit card. This draws more attention as the return rate would be 1.5x of current return.
When I was checking the booking experience and redemption options, they are giving option to use points at the time of payment only.
As of now, it is showing "Option Unavailable". I mailed their customer care, but still haven't got any reply.
Please share your experience on airasia points. How are the redemption options? Do they allow partial?

From what I read here, it works only on air Asia international flights and not on air Asia India.

I have not been able to figure out how many points are needed for a particular flight. No clue how to go about it.

I am in the same boat, extremely unclear on air asia

Yes. That's the reason I am avoiding AirAsia. I don't want to waste ER points. It's better to choose other airlines where at-least it's clear how to redeem.

800 axis edge miles = 640 aa points = 116rs.



I.e. 1 edge miles = ₹0.145



Worst redemption possible

I had seen this promotion offer 2 days back but did not posted here due to their terms & conditions .

Axis bank name is not there as participating conversation partners.

better convert it to cash at 0.2 rupee and use it rather than converting to miles

You wont get any value by converting to Air Asia. So stick to Krisflyer, Cathay Pacific or even Thai Airways for south east Asia.

Better convert it to vistara if there is a connectivity.

I get below because of Burgandy account

5 edge points => 4 VistaRa points => 4 Rupees

1 point => 0.8INR

If you are not Burgandy 1 point will still earn 0.4INR

For international flights to South East Asia Krisflyer is the best program, business class flights at 43k miles in one of the world's best airlines. Better than wasting mileage for economy flights on planes like air Asia which you can anyway book for 15 to 20k
