Most cashiers won’t accept an Amex regardless of whether it’s platinum or gold or MRCC.

I was just like this, who cares and who sees also what's the point of customising to any card online and it's just money spent from your pocket? but now I am feeling the heat for status symbols, the people I go out with, who have only centurion and plat charge, chase reserve, Cottus, royale and what not card even top-of-the-line cards in the world, to join and move with then for party and business meet outside its been observed and they also observe and talk a lot about these cards.

a show-off only shows a status symbol it again depends, on what kind of circle you are entering with or surrounding with but again, a different view, a different mindset, and a different perspective. can never say.
With Amex rolling out Plat Charge to most of its existing customers, I don't think it's a status symbol anymore 🙂

You are absolutely right!
they will not do that even for American express Centurion card, which costs many lacs

Let me tell you a small incident.. Few months back I met 2 guys at Heathrow Centurion. One of them had both Centurion and Coutts Silk and the other had Plat Charge. First one was unhappy with mediocre benefits of Coutts Silk and high fee of Centurion. The second guy had ignored an upgrade offer to Centurion twice and opted for HSBC Private instead of Coutts. The only reason behind them being with Amex/Coutts was the ease of running their business on those cards.
Most UHNIs use Amex and other cards as an effective financial tool for their lifestyle than a status symbol. If the Platinum charge or Centurion or any other card makes you think twice about the value you are going to get, its probably not for you and you are not missing anything.
P.S. I'll grab Axis Primus in a heartbeat the day I get an offer from Axis just for the value it offers rather than going for a Centurion for its brand value.

Maybe you should go for Olympus, when it is available for everyone.
it has better value for foreign spends

Good you checked! They refused for me saying it didn’t register at their end due to a corrupt link. Got the card delivered yesterday. I won’t activate it most likely.
On a lighter note, next time you're with them, carry CASH (bundles). Pay using cash, and see everyone including the staff looking at you in awe / suspicion / etc. 🙂
May even get a few salutes you if you ask them to 'keep the change'.

They spent the extra 6000 + GST on the box 🤣
Do you have unboxing video or photos?
This display doubles as a digital photo frame. They even have instructions for it.

Yes. MRCC will be closed. If you close Platinum Charge and do not have any other Amex then your points will be gone. But if you keep any other Amex they will be fine, as all points are pooled.
