Note: Redemption options high in Regalia Gold compared to Atlas/Horizon. And do note above values assumed if user redeemed those vouchers (that means user ok with that redemption) or transferred those miles to those programs (that means user aware those available programs) when applying these cards.

It seems no mention about fuel surcharge waiver in HDFC Regalia Gold. So, double check before using card but milestone benefits applicable on fuel spends too.

2500 EDGE Miles shall be credited to cardholders’ EDGE Miles account upon successful completion of 1 transaction on the card within 37 days from the date of card issuance Note: This will be applicable for all cards sourced from 20th April 2024 onwards.

Hi! Is 5x i.e 20 points for 150 spent valid on flight booking only on smartbuy or other portals also.
 
On atlas , if i have to redeem points for non partner airlines like indigo, then for me 1rp = 1rs during booking flight, and is there a limit on how many rp can be used in 1 txn or % of total txn that can be redeemed using rp like we have in hdfc?

min. 300, max -- never tested. Also, its 100% as of today but no guarantee after month.

@drsel any idea about max limit for direct booking?
 
Is this correct?
It is 5000/150*5*5 = 825 points redeemable for 1:1 on flights and hotels (For Infinia, DCB, DCB metal only)
But for Regalia Gold, 5000/150*4 = 660 points redeemable for 1:0.5 = 330 on flights and hotels

For Atlas, it is
5000/100*5 = 250 points transferable to Airmiles at 1:2 = 500 Airmiles / Accor points

Im sorry but trying to understand, what would be the value of each mp at partner website, like for eg. for a 5k flight, i need 7k mp, for 1 rs i need 2 mp, is these a fixed conversion for this?

1MP = 1Rs. when booked through travel edge, direct flights.. like for 5k flight you'll redeem 5k MP. Its not partner website, its 'traveledge'. (Its like the way you used 0.5 for your hdfc calculation)
