Axis nowadays doesn't allow tranfer to different name
Anyways most of the FFP nowadays have a family pool account , you can use that.

Honesty, with just 57.5k miles, not everyone can easily recoup the 70800 JF(while accounting for the additional taxes with the redemption). But it is possible if one were to take select routes(one of the US<->EUR) that offer over Rs.1/MR value(~Rs2/mile). This would be a whole different story if Amex offered a 1:1 conversion on FFPs like in the US.
Having said that, the Plat charge is a lifestyle card and there are plenty of elite-tier lifestyle and travel benefits that come with the card. If you're asking yourself if the 70.8K is worth it, then this card is not for you.

I agree that 57.5k miles is not much but it's the best value plat charge can give
The question was whether to opt for plat charge for 115k offer , if someone is interested to get plat charge this is the best possible offer.
If the question was whether it's good to buy 115k points at 70.8 k the answer straight forward would be No.
The main thing here is that you are interested to get plat charge then definitely you should take that offer if not then no point in asking as plat charge is a lifestyle card and no way it justifies the cost in terms of INR but if you are into luxury Taj or Oberoi stays , a frequent luxury traveller then you can get the price back easily.
Also you can wait for good offers for transfer partner and then utilize those 115k MR in a better way like the Kris promotion running currently or the United 30% promotion from hotel FFP , VS 30% miles discount etc.
Miles are not supposed to be used for emergencies. Rather to get better value one should have flexible bookings in mind.

Mere bhaaaaaiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!
@CARDBITRAGE - I don't know how you did it but you can work miracles my friend!
Bro read it again
No - if you want to buy 115k miles at 70k
You can buy those miles at 30-40k spend
Yes - If you want to take PLAT CHARGE card with 70k fees and 115 k points
There is a big difference between the above 2..

Yes, if someone wants to get the Plat charge anyway, then the 115K MR bonus is a no-brainer. Getting it in the hopes of recuperating the JF won't make sense. And yes, transferring during bonuses can work out to cancel out the fees, but one should be on the lookout for those. Or you could keep things simple and redeem it at any of the top-tier properties of the Mariott Bonvoy program. A night in one of the St.Regis Maldives or the Ritz Carlton Maldives will get you almost 2-3x your JF(based on the season).
Obviously
If you just want to buy 115k points why do you want to waste 70k INR when you can buy those directly from Amex at 40 paise rates.
But if you are contemplating Amex plat charge and thinking whether it would be advisable to get it against those 45k Taj vouchers , this offer is a no brainer .
With just a little patience and search you can easily recover the JF.

What was the difference between what you said and what I said? How could you so effectively communicate this? I'm very very impressed.

You can buy a max of 10k points, but that's beside the point as you can buy miles and hotel points directly as well.
10k points per card
There are other ways to buy points too legally at cheaper rates too.
Anyways that's a completely different topic
Fir se trending krwa de kya ??
Somebody said amex India ethiad transfer is at 1:1
Is it true?

If you often travel and stay in luxury hotels, then this card is a clear choice for you. You'll easily offset the cost with its benefits. In fact, even if you travel only once every three months, the card is still worthwhile given the regular offers it provides.
Additionally, if you're a golf enthusiast or interested in taking it up as a hobby, this card also offers complimentary golf lessons.
Furthermore, you receive a 10,000 Taj voucher during your birthday month. Your first-year spending determines your retention benefits, allowing you to assess if renewing the card is beneficial or if cancellation is a better option.
