This is downright disappointing,
But will reduce crowding at Centurion DEL

Tye benefits added are not worth the fees hike

Accor plus with Reserve doesn't comes with any dining voucher so most probably it would be same with Plat Charge

Amazon Prime & all are anyway available from multiple sources

Sunshine is a pretty new loyalty without much benefits.

I would say it's a devaluation

no point in taking this. if amex gives 1,35,000mr points and the benefits after upgrade can consider it or else its just trash. such premium card forex fees is kept like a basic card. whats the point to take and spend.

So my Plat charge is up for renewal this month. Obviously planning to close this crap. However need to transfer 1.5 lakh MR points.
My options are -
1 - Transfer to Krisflyer (have a upcoming trip)
2 - Transfer to MB bonvoy.

Any suggestions?

In the mail that I received renewal vouchers are for 35K and renewal fee has increased to 66K plus GST. So the renewal fee will be 77,880. I dont think renewal offers will be available now.

Looks like the renewal benefits are also customized. The email to me has renewal vouchers worth Rs35K.
Still remains a 1 year card. Too bad. Moving on..

Both r good!! But i would say Krisflyer. As for MB once u close the card u will lose Gold status. Then the value of points are still reduced.
