Just out of curiosity, I downloaded the Mobikwik app, filled in all details and selected pay rent with CC option. For a rent of 34k, they said convenience charges of 802 (2.36%) shall be taken after I had entered the Amex card number. Didn't click on the final pay option. Not sure if this transaction can be failed at that stage or guess these are the charges without trying for the wallet option.
see if it goes till otp page
also it gives flat 75 off on first rent payment

Noo! It didn't work. I got a Failure notification saying ' You can transact upto 20k with this card'.
Could be a KYC issue but they didnt specify.
even my amex transactions are getting blocked for rent
try via wallet load

Upto 20k should work. So they accept upto a certain level. Let me check regarding the wallet since KYC I need to compete as well.
i tried for 15 k as well
received message that it is blocked

Ah struggle! I think next month when I have to use this for real, I will end up using SBI Vistara in the end.
do wallet load
even thoughj charges are a bit high
you will get additional cashback on applying promo as well

Sure! This will be the first course of action to try next month!
Thank you, but not this. I meant, how can we maximise returns using these points? Basically, an ideal spend calculator I was asking for

Even though it says Fuel excluded, I had to end up using this for Fuel very often to make sure I reached the 4L. This year it happened in 10 months but not sure about next year.
Now that I got around 56k points, the easier way to me to utilize this has been converting to Mariott Bonvoy points. Around 56k MB points. You can open the Mariott website and check for properties (Pay by points) where you get the value of rupee = MB. So, a property with 10k INR or 10k MB points a night is much better value than a similar sort of properly where its 5k INR or 15k MB points per night. In the former, I will arrive at a value of at least 1re/MB point with the latter it should be .33p/MB point. Then again, this is value driven search but if you want to stay in some exotic property you'd never consider paying for. Then 2 nights stay for around 30k MB points is also worth it.
