Bro
your original premise was 10k points if you pay the fees of 4k. I said that it also requires a spend of 15k in addition the fees for those points to post.

So if you want the 10k points on plat travel, you are forced to spend 19k effectively.

Compared to the referral, where the card is free and you may/may not spend 5k for the additional referral bonus.

so compare to referral, taking a fee-based platinum travel is not a rewarding ratio.

I think you missed the main part of my post
I clearly said “If you love points” , only then you should take plat travel paid and not the FYF one .

The sole purpose of getting a Amex plat travel is to hit the 1.9 lakhs and 4 lakhs milestone to get 15k and 25k points , so eventually you are going to spend and the 15k that you are spending now would also get counted towards milestone .

If you just want to take the card as FYF , and don’t intent to spend on it , then you are not someone who is into miles and points , and you should definitely get the card as FYF and just enjoy the 8 free airport lounge access that comes with the card.

Plat travel card may not be the better card to take using a referral, instead MRCC card is a better option.

I want to apply for Amex. Never used Amex till date. Currently using Infinia and Magnus. Where can I refer to features of Amex to understand if this card is beneficial for me as Magnus story is over.

Best feature of Amex is points never expire and obvious drawback is low acceptance compared to Visa/Mastercard

Considering you have Infinia, my suggestion would be to start with MRCC/Gold to start with Amex. You have to spend 4x1500 with MRCC or 6x1000 with Gold every month to get 1000 MR points which should be easy. If you comfortable with using Amex later u can evaluate taking Plat Travel which gives good milestone benefits on spends on 4 lakhs.

With referral you will get MRCC first year free and second year fees of 1500rs (waived basis spends or can be negotiated easily). My referral links are below

On MRCC Card the 4 Transactions of 1500 each can we do it for filling petrol?
Like I always fill up for 3000. I can ask the attendant to do 2 separate transactions of 1500 each for that. Will this qualify for 4*1500 scenario?

What is the ratio in which we get points? Is there any difference in points for MRCC Vs Platinum? 4L spends are required for a year?

No difference in points. Normal earn rate for mrcc gold plat travel is 1 point for rs.50
Yes 4 lakh spends in a year for 48000 points + 10k taj voucher in plat travel
Note: we are discussing platinum travel and not platinum charge (which has 70k fees)

 

[CVR]

Yes

Do use my referral links in case you looking to apply if my posts have been helpful to you.. thanks

Is it a better way to first apply for MRCC card and then gradually upgrade for Plat Travel ?

Is it a better way to first apply for MRCC card and then gradually upgrade for Plat Travel ?

Yes, for a starter, MRCC is the best point of entry into AMEX system IMO..

Yes. Especially if you not sure about Amex acceptance. MRCC has low/no fees and easy to earn 1000 points every month
