Axis Bank Atlas Credit Card worth it. Query & Discussion

[cowcoconut]

Hey
If someone's spend is just 8-10L year (~2-3L on flights) and if they don't want to redeem hotels and only transfer to airmiles, is atlas worth it?

Is there some other card that's better for this purpose?

Does Club Vistara, Spice and Air India points good value? I mean will they charge you points according to the flight cost only?
I'm not at all interested in hotel redemptions and most people seem to use this card for Accor, so I'm a bit concerned whether flight redemptions are actually worth it at the end.

This question of yours does not have a straight answer. As airmile redemption is dynamic in nature in terms of availability. There is no guaranty that points will be same as flight cost. It may be more or it may be less

If you want fixed redemptions, then HDFC Infinia / DCB will be better as it allows point redemption of 1:1 while booking flights via smartbuy

Ok so if I redeem all my edge points as cv points and book flights, will I usually get a good deal?

60--80 Paisa for each Vistara mile if used for economy seats, but you need to book much in advance.

Yes one stone takes all mangoes 😉

if he has Infinia, he can buy Amazon GVs and book flights from Amazon and get around 15% return.. isn't it??have you thought about it??
You get good rates for flights thru Amazon as well...

There is no discount on air tickets on Amazon app. Also no offers using various credit cards.
The prices are the same as MakeMyTrip.

but if you buy Amazon pay with 13.71% return, and use it to buy air tickets on Amazon app, that will be the benefit

Airlines give up to 17% as commission to these wholesale agents, so the banks can easily part with 16%

so you are saying banks should aim to earn 1% commission on flight bookings??

No.
many banks earn a lot more when you book air tickets on their flight portal, because they give only upto 5% to the credit card user

 

[drsel]

Online travel agents usually give up to 10% (max. 10000 discount) on air tickets using various credit cards

8th July one way
Select point+ cash

If u select only points only then it shows 30000 points
I am unable to see tax , as I don't have enough cv points to go next page.
Some who got cv more than 12000 can see the tax amount.

 

[drsel]

But I think Vistara is a better option for point/mile conversion compare to ITC

Okay so then it's an eyewash because they will charge you maybe Rs 20000 cash.
Miles plus cash is always more expensive than using only miles, this is true for all the airlines

Some can confirm if anyone got cv points in account just to check.
How much is tax amount?
