2 tickets are ok. The question however is that can it include multiple tickets across airlines to make it 1L
Let's say SFO-BOS is 18k per pax & BOS-MCO is 16k per pax, so if want this booking for 3 passengers, that will make 1,02,000 INR. Will that work?

It has to be a single PNR worth 1 lakh. If this transaction is carried out in a single itinerary then it will work, otherwise not. If these are two separate transactions, then it won't work

you spend on anything that doesn’t matter, 50k you have to spend and then you will receive 1l points and rest 50k points will be given next month once the due is cleared

Spends on basic/Primary card considered, Add on cards spends are not considered.

Received the card today. The packaging is fantastic with video guide inside the cost that turns on at its own on opening the box is a very neat touch.

Card definitely feels heavy and premium.

Started the journey with 10K Apay vouchers.

I will call support tomorrow for the memberships & priority pass.

Spoke to Amex travel. They can't book Southwest tickets and if I book other airlines, I will have to pay hefty baggage fee.

My options are now limited to buying some tickets using smartbuy (only 30k spending limit left) and rest of the tickets using HDFC forex card (which I already applied on Friday)

HDFC forex card is a good option if it works

@Prav Did they agree to issue the extra voucher? I got this offer without the 10k voucher and I'm curious if you managed to convince them. Please confirm.
