Axis Miles and more offer

[drsel]

The miles earned on the Axis Bank Miles & More Credit Card (both variants) never expire provided-

1) You have been a Miles & More Credit Cardholder for at least 3 months.
2) You make at least 1 Miles-related purchase every month with Miles & More Credit Card

I'm wondering if I forget to use my card in any particular month will the miles expire?

 

[hs23]

Why ? you don't need to use this card for other spends, except for EazyDiner birthday offer, that too only once a year

Well I need to earn 15000 miles to book 2 tickets.

Why not take another card and get 45000 miles for 11.8k ?

Nice one. Can multiple cards be linked to same mile&more account?

The offer is over on 30th November.
Now only 15000 + 500 miles not 45000 + 500

No.
2 different Axis Bank Miles and More cards will have to belong to 2 different individuals.
Also Only one Miles and More card can be linked to one Miles and More account

Okay but can we book for some one else using the miles?

Most likely they would reintroduce the offer again in. Jan 2024

You can book for a family member if travelling with you

 

[hs23]

This is too complicated.

I was planning to get 2 cards, one in my name and one in my parents. But now if I I want to use the miles on my parents card for my friend, then thats not possible.

How have you done this calculation?

The renewal fee is 4500+ GST and you get 4000 miles only.

Even if wait till renewal, total miles will be 49000 - not quite enough to buy 2 tickets. As there are no transfer partners, making it difficult to use for 2 people. Only option is to earn the balance 11000 miles by spending 366666. Or If you dont want to wait till renewal, you will need to spend 5L to get 15000 points.

My bad. I thought we would receive 15000 points on renewal. So only 1 return Y fare possible. Considering the return rate, it’s not worth spending that much money to accrue the remaining points. So no point holding it till renewal. Redeem one return Y ticket through mileage bargains and if possible one can use the remaining for Points+cash redemption.
Thanks @hs23 for the correction

I wonder how much extra cash is required for my shortfall of 14500 miles for 2nd economy return air ticket to Europe & back

The reward rate is 3%. So divide the required points by the reward rate. Should be around ~4.84L

No no I'm asking about using miles + cash for the 2nd economy return air ticket.
I don't want to spend 4.84 lakhs on this card.

30000 miles + taxes for 1st return air ticket
15500 miles + cash(?) + taxes for 2nd return air ticket

Received 45500 Lufthansa miles.
What is the best use for these miles, flights to Europe Australia or Japan in ECONOMY class?
Any good deals for Mumbai to Sydney or Tokyo to Mumbai?

When did activated the card? Have you paid the joining fees?

Applied offline, got it in 3 working days and activated it immediately.
the joining fee 11800 was seen soon after activation .
Then I emailed customer care to find out the miles and more MMID
then I downloaded and activated the app with MMID given to me by customer care and set the 5 digit pin.
500 miles were gifted for downloading the app and 45000 miles were seen in the app within 30 days.

Bill was generated after receiving the 45500 miles

Applied offline, got it in 3 working days and activated it immediately.
the joining fee 11900 has come only after receiving the 45500 miles

What was the time gap in days between activation and credit of miles?
