I also received the 150k points offer (without 10k extra points on spending).

My Amex Plat Travel was issued in June 2024, if I upgrade, can I downgrade back to Platinum Travel next year (I am assuming yes)?

I got this offer for the Amex Gold Charge to Platinum Charge card.

Charge to Charge works like magic. Card details also will remain same.

Both cards stays, so no downgrade option needed.

For first year and for MR points if you are planning some travel in Marriott properties it's good to go.

It might be worth for first year based on welcome bonus, but recovering the fees from 2nd year onwards will be a bit difficult. Trifecta is a much better strategy for the long run.

To those who got the Platinum Charge Upgrade offer from Platinum Travel:

1. How much did you spend during your renewal cycle?
2. How old is your card?

I got an upgrade offer for Platinum Reserve after spending ₹4.5 lakh in 6 months from car issuance.

My view is that it could be worth it. Points can be transferred to Mariott, Amazon Pay vouchers can be purchased for 5X, Unlimited golf etc

Is there option to pay joining fees in no cost emi 😊

No, MR points will be credited only on payment of fees and spend conditions. 😂😂

But without breakfast u don’t get much benefit at the end. Marriott is good above platinum only if I am not wrong

Some properties treat well, like resorts. For Ex. Earlier Westin Rishikesh used to offer.

Metro properties like Le Meridien, ITC Collection, Four point sheraton won't offer. Depends on luck and resort / property overall.
