Amex Travel Portal

Why are flights So cheap in Amex portal compared to other sites ?
today I booked a flight with 70% of what I would've paid in MMT, Yatra or direct airline

Any reason behind this?

And will I get multiplier points since it is Amex portal?

I don't think that's normally the case. I see prices comparable to MMT or EMT only. Maybe you got lucky with some specific flight.

You are just lucky. Usually you don't find high difference.

But when you are actually booking flight, do you check everywhere? like MMT, EMT, Yatra, ClearTrip, Goibibo, Smartbuy & now Amex.
It becomes hassle with different discounts as well.
This time I tried Cleartrip since with partnership with Axis - meal + seat + no conv+ cancellable with Axis select.

I almost booked through MMT and I just checked because I thought we might get accelerated rewards and to my surprise the price is so cheap.

And I travel frequently but I have never seen HYD -Vizag flight for 3300 +70 rupees amex charged for convenience

I checked with Customer Support. they said we will only get the accelerated points through reward multiplier portal. It's hard to believe but let me confirm once the transaction gets processed and points posted

when does the convenince fee get added?

There is no mention of it in invoice I got two charges when I submitted the OTP. the ticket amount and some 70-80 rupees Both Under AMEX ONLINE SERVICES

when does the convenince fee get added?

just before or at the payment page

 

[gg123]

just before or at the payment page

No I have not seen the amount added. even the OTP I got is for the exact ticket amount.
after the transaction I got two spent notifications from amex one with 83 rs and another ticket amount both are AMEX ONLINE SERVICES

in general websites, it gets added in the payment page. so thought the same. does every amex card holder have access to this amex portal? or only premium ones?

What are the dates for your flight?

Did u check google flights for the best comparison? MMT is usually 20-30% higher

you will get accelerated reward points on MMT but not Amex portal.

I booked the same route flight for 10:45 directly in indigo for 4743 flexi plus fare. It was 4742 for normal fare.

Amazon was giving at around 4000 after discount and cashback but it was normal fare. I didn't think of amex. But one thing is both amex and Amazon don't give options for different fares. Anyways thanks for sharing

Yes! You are correct. amex doesn't give options for different fares. it didn't even ask me to choose the seat in flight. the airline randomly assigned s*hitty middle seat.
