I applied for mrcc card. While applying it was shown as FYF but today received it and the enclosed Letter shows standard annual fees of 1000+ taxes for first year and 4500+ taxes from 2nd year onwards. Customer care is saying they can only confirm it is FYF or chargeable once 1st statement is generated. Should I activate the card or not?

Activate, Amex will not levy any charges even if you cancel after statement generation. Also, they are very transparent in their offerings.

Got my card today. Had applied via a referral link from here.
The included brochure shows shows non referral fees. How to confirm which fees will I be charged?
Have the same query as well.

📌FEES

🔹First year free if applied through Referral
🔹Welcome benefit of 2000 MR points as Referral bonus on spend of ₹ 5000 within 90 days
🔹From 2ndyear onwards ₹ 1500+GST as a fee (on referral otherwise ₹ 4000) which will be waived off if spends in the preceding year >₹ 1.5 lakhs
🔹50% fee waiver if spend within 90k to 1.49 lakhs in the preceding year.

🎁STANDARD REWARD

🔹1 MR point on every ₹ 50 spent
❌Exclusion are Fuel, Insurance, Utilities, Cash Transactions and EMI conversion at Point of Sale

🎁BONUS REWARD

🔹1,000 Bonus Membership Rewards Points for simply using your card 4 times on transactions of ₹ 1,500 or above in a calendar month

🎁MONTHLY SPEND MILESTONE

🔹Additional 1,000 Membership Rewards points simply by spending ₹ 20,000 or more in a calendar month
🔹One-time enrolment is must for this benefit.
Link for enrolment: amex.co/mrccenroll

🚨How to Optimize:
💎₹ 1500 X 4 transaction will fetch you
🔸Regular points= 6000/50= 120 points
🔸Bonus points for 4X1500 = 1000
🔸Monthly milestone points (for 20k spend which include 6k above spend) =1000
🔸Regular points for monthly milestone spend= 14000*/50=280
🔸Total monthly points= 120+1000+1000+280=2400
🔸Total yearly points= 2400*12= 28800
🔸Total yearly points with referral bonus= 28800+2000=30800

📌So, for total yearly spend of ₹ 2.4 lakhs (20k monthly including 4X₹1500) you will get 28800 points.

📌What if you don’t want to spend ₹ 20k every month and just want to complete 4*₹1500 transactions then the scenario will change and the points you will fetch would be 1120*12= 13440 points yearly.

🚨What should I do to complete 4X ₹1500 spend on my MRCC
👉Since Paytm wallet load is out of picture now since it has started charging convenience fee on wallet load through CC then the options left is to purchase 4 no. of ₹ 1500 denomination Amazon GV through Amazon itself or through Amex Gyftr or do 4 transactions of ₹1500 each in NPS Tier-I (with 0.9%+GST as charges).

2⃣AMEX GOLD CHARGE

📌FEES

🔹First year ₹ 1000+GST if applied through Referral
Welcome benefit of 2000 MR points as Referral bonus on spend of ₹ 5000 within 90 days

🔹From 2ndyear onwards ₹ 4500+GST as a fee. No fee waiver criteria.

🎁STANDARD REWARD
🔹1 MR point on every ₹ 50 spent including fuel and utility
❌Exclusion are Insurance, Cash Transactions and EMI conversion at Point of Sale

🎁Bonus Reward
🔹1,000 bonus points on 6 transactions of ₹1,000 each every calendar month.

🚨How to Optimize:
💎₹1000 X 6 transaction will fetch you
🔸Regular points= 6000/50= 120 points
🔸Bonus points for 6X1000 = 1000
🔸Points for reward multiplier i.e 5X= (6000/50)*4=480
🔸Total monthly points= 120+1000+480=1600
🔸Total yearly points= 1600*12= 19200
🔸Total yearly points with referral bonus= 19200+2000=21200

📌So, for total yearly spend of Rs 72k (6k monthly for 6X₹1000) you will get 19200 points.

🚨What should I do to complete 4X ₹1500 spend on my MRCC
🔹Purchase 6 no. of ₹ 1000 denomination Amazon GV from Amex Gyftr each month

3⃣AMEX PLATINUM TRAVEL

📌FEES

🔹First year free if applied through Referral otherwise ₹ 3500+GST.

🔹Welcome benefit of 2000 MR points as Referral bonus on spend of ₹ 5000 within 90 days

🔹Milestone points = 15000
🔸Hit another 2.5 lakhs (4 lakhs total)
🔹Regular points= 50000/50= 5000 points
🔹Milestone points = 25000
🔹Total points for 4 lakhs spend= 3000+15000+5000+25000=48000

♦️Thus, If you have the AMEX Trifecta your effective reward rate would be as below

♦️Total Yearly spend on MRCC, GOLD CHARGE & PLATINUM= 2.4 lakhs+ 72k+ 4lakhs=₹ 712000

♦️Total yearly reward points for trifecta without referral bonus= 28200+19200+48000=96000

♦️ Total yearly reward points for trifecta with referral bonus= 96000+6000=102000
