AMEX PLATINUM TRAVEL CARD BEST WAYS TO SPEND

[Gouthamreddy91]

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

What benefits are there for Plat Travel which you can share with add-on?

Not much, just rewards and faster accumulation.

How does add on helps. Like primary card can be used everywhere. Even if I am not there my wife can use my card.
What is actual benefit of using supplementary card?

The only benefit is that if the other person can use this to spend in case of emergency. One of my friends added a Supplimentary card for his sister who just started college. So, stuff like that.
In your situation, maybe a separate card might be better now I think.

Supplementary card spends are counted under main card only. If you have reached 4L on main card then this will not help.

Get a new card in her name (on her PAN) using your referral link if you plan to spend 4L again till your main card anniversary year ending

Thanks. That helps

Hi everyone, while going through this thread and few others I've concluded that rent payment through mobikwik is no more an option as it doesn't support amex cards now. So is there any other option to pay rent via amex?

Off topic but can anyone confirm ifwe get get marriot gold every year with plat charge?
And does it get degraded after 31dec ?if so
How many days does it take to get the status back?

We dont get reward points on Health insurance payment (HDFC Ergo) on Plat travel right?
Afaik it only counts towards milestone? Just wanted to confirm.

Yes... no reward points but counted in milestone

Has anyone figured out how to pay Advance tax using an Amex card?
Apparently PhonePe had an option that has now been removed

I am done with 4 lakhs in 3 months. Will Amex offer CL if I stop using the card now for a year.

Very soon even Amex will join the club and restrict education MCC 🤣🤣🤣🤣

It was all for flights and I have no idea why Amex charges 1.8%(+GST) on flights and IRCTC booking when the card is for travel.

Since, you brought the education keyword here. I wanted to let the folks know that yesterday I defended my PhD thesis and now I am a Dr. 🙂
Just happy 🙂

Just how? Over here, after trying my best to use Plat Travel wherever possible, I'm still ~1.5L short to go in 2.5 months. My caveats: I don't have any education or rent payments, also all my GVs are prioritised on Smartbuy first. Everywhere else I've been trying to use Amex and still very likely going to miss the target, and I am a heavy spender.

About 8 months ago, when I got the card...
I loaded into my Mobikwik and paid my rents, and all other major expenses thru MK Wallet ...
Case closed !!

Yeah, so rent is the difference. Otherwise Infinia + SB is more rewarding for utilities, and there's no way I would compromise there for chasing milestones. If this pattern continues and no good retention, I might have to think hard about retaining Plat Travel next year.

4L is a very strategic choice of target. If only their offline acceptance were better, I would be easily sailing through.
