American Express Platinum Travel Credit Card Renewal - Opinion

I have renewal coming after couple of days for my American Express Platinum Travel Credit Card. I just spoke with Amex support and they provided me 3 options for renewal benefit. Spent over 7 lacs in last year on my Platinum Travel credit card.

I also hold Amex Platinum Charge Card.

1. Discount of 50% on renewal fee that I end up paying 2900 Rupees, No Reward Points offered.
2. Pay full fee 5900 Rupees and get 10000 Amex Reward Points.
3. Pay 10000 Amex Reward Points from my Existing Reward point balance for full fee waiver of 5900 Rupees.

I think option 2 is better, interested to know your option and thoughts. They are not ready to negotiate beyond above 3 options, I tried my best.

Looking forward to hear from you guys.

Cheers!
 
Generally people consider 1 MR point as 0.5 so we can say 10k points as 5k Rs. In that case
Option 2 - you get 5k Rs (10k points) by paying 5900 Rs
Option 3 - you save 5900 Rs by paying 5k Rs(10k) points.
Isin't option 3 better? If you can extract more value than 0.5 Rs then definitely 2nd option is better.
Even my card is due for renewal. I called and asked for spends based renewal. Surprisingly they agreed to waive off my fee on making a spends of Rs 2,50,000 in 90 dayd
 
Centurion lounge empty at mumbai obviously time is 230am and bar is not serving liquer due to license renewal issue but mocktail are served. When I arrived at 11pm nothing was left however they prepared sandwich and took coke and 2 mocktails.

No Liquor. Wow

That seems to defeat a lot of value I am trying to get from the card. My travel is supposed to get back to Normal late April. I was hoping to get free booze in Del & Bom.

Any idea how long to resolve the issue and is it impacting Del lounge too?
