apple and MMT are good spends to take advantage of this offer but only for genuine spends when you need to buy apple products or book travel. else not worth the effort to spend just to get MR points.

True! I rarely use MMT; but Apple, Myntra, Nykaa, M&S, and Etihad often works out for me during this offer.

Apple's official website is included in Reward Multiplier. You can get the credit card discount as well as upto 25,000 bonus points.

I meant if you use their affiliate sites like flipkart, croma etc. In general mobile phones excluded in every affiliate site or upto 0.5% max in some cases only, same applies here. If you can purchase directly on mac website no issues.

Didn't get email for platinum travel, guess it is excluded from this.
Wife also didn't get email for her gold card, so she is excluded also? Or everyone with a gold charge card can get 25MR per 100/- spent?

I believe it's Jan 24-28 for Gold and MRCC, and Jan 27-31 for Platinum Travel.

It is for all card holders holding MRCC, Gold, Platinum. Not sure about Platinum Travel.

Is this valid only if you get the email or for all card holders? Any link where I can see the offer details?

Does this have limit of 25k points per month which reward multiplier has?

And is it also included in the reward multiplier limit for this month? So 25k - other points earned via multiplier this month?

Normal reward multiplier has a max of 25k bonus per month (except for overseas spend, which doesn't): https://www.americanexpress.com/in/benefits/rewards-program/terms-conditions.html

Looks like normal Reward Multiplier is not combined with this, which is quite great

as per this, it is combined. max 25k till this month end.

normally to get 25k mr points on gold charge, need to shop around 2.5L but as part of this offer its only 1L. Thats my understanding.

[helloworld]

so overall a big flop offer ?

its the same offer thats been running every year for the past 4+ years, sometimes 21 points, sometimes 23 points and now 24 points but tncs same, moreover same offer that I've been receiving during this time as special like purchase 20000 get 500rs. voucher but with same partners and tncs.

Its an affiliate site purchase offer, purely for shopping.

 

[pranav.kakani]

Is Platinum Travel not included in this offer?

Plat Travel is a. Shitty card. I have an upgrade to plat reserve but my current limit is too weak to be able to utilise the card to its full potential
Will upgrade when I get LE min 4× (current 50K)

Got to know from the customer care that Platinum Travel card too has the same offer but on different time period which is 28th Jan to 31st Jan. So if we use Platinum travel card for 1 lakh spend (subject to exclusion criteria), then that would be a double benefit - will be considered towards the 4 lakh milestone spend as well as will get 25k additional points, which is a very sweet deal, we will end up having the usual 40k MR points for milestone spends (15k + 25k) + 25k offer period MR points + 8k base points = 73k points (of course higher if part of/full of remaining 3 lakhs were also spent in Gyftr). 73k MR points valued at 50p per point = 36.5k monetary value + a 10k Taj voucher, on a spend of 4 lakhs is like over 10% returns, which is mind boggling! Of course much higher if smart/fortunate enough to extract more than 50p value per MR!

Anyway, the point I wanted to convey here is that, if someone has Platinum travel card too, it might be more beneficial to make use of this offer through that card instead of Gold/MRCC because the maximum of 25000 MR points per calendar month is not per card but per customer across all cards put together.
