I was considering of getting the Amex Trifecta. I don’t have any of the Amex cards. But can you tell me in which order should I apply for them. Also how many days after getting the first card should I apply for the second. And how many days later after the second should I apply for the third???

Plat travel mrcc and gold chg. Normally f4om one card to another card is 90 days time difference but some apply as soon as they get 1st card and gets approved for second. Differs from people to people.

You can apply through referral first year 3500 fee for plat travel plus u get bonus MR points.
 
What card you're looking for and which one is the best would depend on what your expenses look like.

If you spend ~6k per month, MRCC is the best choice.
If you spend ~40k per month, Platinum Travel is the best choice.
If you spend ~5l per month internationally, Platinum Charge is the best choice.

MRCC fees is just ₹1000 for the first year and with just 1.4L annual spends, this gets waived off completely(50% off waiver on 90k spends).

DM me your spends and CIBIL details, I can help you analyze the best card for your spends! 🙂

Well if you had asked the question about 6 months ago then you could have easily got MRCC FYF (and 1500 annual fee) and Plat Travel FYF plus Gold charge with nominal joining fee through referrals... But AMEX has discontinued those referral benefits now and MRCC with 4500+GST is pretty hefty card considering the returns at the end of year.. Moreover for Plat Travel too you'll have to shell out 3500 as joining fee...

Collectively you'll be paying 14000+GST just for these 3 cards... So if you can make an extra 4-5% return on your spend (after adjusting annual fee) through above trifecta then no particular order matters for you..

Don't be in a rush bro. Take 1 card first (MRCC) then see if you are able to fully utilize its milestone & not facing issues with acceptance.
Once you are good apply for other 2 as well in any order.
 
IMO you should analyse your spends and then apply for any of the Amex cards as they aren't FYF anymore.
Gold and MRCC are great if you use Amazon pay balance on regular basis.
Plat travel will be useful only if you can hit 4L milestone.
