Can anyone tell me what is the best way to spend on AMEX platinum travel credit card to reach the milestone of 4 Lakhs per annum ?
The reason i'm asking is AMEX card is not allowed in most of the online websites...
Please suggest, Thanks

Got my Amex Platinum a couple of days ago ( after Axis Magnus devaluation), and was really bummed to see that acceptance is an issue, especially offline and occasionally online.
Right now, I am wondering whether I should go for Axis Atlas as well to maximise my air miles.
Right now my plan is to pay the first ₹4 lakh using Amex and then switch over to Atlas because I don't see the point in using Amex Plat beyond the 4 lakh mark.
At least with Atlas, the air miles conversion is 1:2 and I can utilise it for annual spends that go beyond ₹4 lakhs.

Booking train tickets via IRCTC website using Amex Plat Travel card , eligible for rewards as well as milestone benefits..

Is there any other way to get extra rewards/ discount for booking train tickets other than directly from irctc web site?

You can use it online to buy vouchers use at store like MORE Stores malls Hotels airline tickets load wallets if you pay Bsnl only mobile or landlines or Internet you get points for this too. You can use in hpcl petrol pumps mostly in metros if non metros they have list where it will get accepted. Some time all hpcl petrol pumps. You can use them on Amex portal for vouchers too. Amazon flipkart etc These are few common ways of using it.this is how I reached all my milestone upto 4 lakhs and stopped it max benefits upto 4lakhs spend is good for rate of return.

Is amex plat travel card close to magnus, atlas, DCB and likes? I somehow don't see amex cards compared with these even though I feel the rewards are quite good

What if someone don't use Taj vouchers and want card with decent rewards after paying annual fee or availing retention offer (don't want to close after a year or worry that retention offer may or maynot good, which reduces overall return).

Can't spend 4L without Insurance and Utilities spends especially with other cards in pocket and especially when troubled with offline usage.

Its a good card, just saying if someone has different preferences, options will change.

If you can spend on travel, OK. Else avoid.
Except taj, air miles, hard to find good options. flipkart ratio is 0.3 per reward. If you include fees, returns are not good.
My policy is don't get card and then think about spends.
First see/analyse your spends, then think about card suits best.

If one is finding it tough to spend 4L organically, best way to hit milestone is to use the Paytm money rotation method. There is some fuel wallet cashback offer going on till October 31.

Yes, paytm charges 2.65% for loading wallet using credit card but it gives 1.5% - 2% fuel wallet cashback. The remaining delta will be compensated by normal RPs and you will be able to hit milestones.

In this way you can get the 40k milestone RPs and use other cards for the rest of the year to get more points which you wouldn't have got if you were going to spend 4L organically using amex plat travel.
