Amex Trifecta - Optimal Usage Guide

[SubhankarSubhankar is verified member.]

Sometimes back I wrote a handwritten note on how to maximise the utilisation of AMEX Trifecta and shared over Twitter, so here's the guide. Hope it helps

The Cards used here are the followings:

1. AMEX Membership Rewards Credit Card
2. AMEX Platinum Travel Credit Card
3. AMEX Gold Charge Card

As per the talks, AMEX ban is suppose to get lifted "soon enough", this guide may help you to make your choice on with which card you'd like to go for and how to maximise the MR points accumulation without breaking the bank


A huge chunk of contribution of it came from Sujit Kumar Hota ( @Skh27 ) and if you want maximise the use of MR points into airmiles, you can check this compact guide by Tejas Ghongadi ( @Tejas ) : AMEX MR Points' Utilisation in Airmiles

If spends are around 4Lpa then Plat Travel, you will atleast get 48k MR points. Any usage on gyftr will give additional 2x (3x in total)

No in gyftr, you get only 2x...

Do utility, fuel, insurance and rent payments are considered towards 4L milestone spends?
