Axis USD value per 100 points for all partners

[dmittal]

Hey Guys,

So, I got this directly from Axis website (don't ask me how I got it). It's the partner name and USD value per 100 points. As you can see Accor is the highest value followed by Japan Airlines and then Singapore Airlines.

Air Canada	1.476701345
airasia	0.74
Accor	2.644365848
ITC	1.219512195
Air Vistara	0.9756097561
Etihad Airways	1.44
Air France-KLM	1.21
IHG® Hotels & Resorts	0.84
Japan Airlines	2.25
Singapore Airlines	2
Marriott International	1.31
Turkish Airlines	1.6
Qatar Airways	1.6
Qantas Airways	1.2
Thai Airways	1.5
Ethiopian Airlines	1.6
SpiceJet	0.6707317073
United Airlines	1.8
Wyndham Hotels & Resorts	1.44

Am I missing something?

For Accor: $2.64 for 100 points i.e. ~ ₹216 for 100 points or ~₹2.16 for 1 point. But user gets a value of ₹1.8 per Accor point? Does not make sense right!!

For Marriott: $1.31 for 100 points. Marriott has listed $12.5 for 1000 points i.e. $1.25 for 100 points. Why is axis paying more?

Lol if these numbers are to be trusted, it's even more understandable why they rushed devaluation
My assumption is, just like they had bad (good for us) deals on the customers front, they had bad b2b deals as well.

Axis yeh middle management fire kardo apni, inse na ho payega

They used to show mark ITC in INR. Now everything is shown in USD.

I took this data from JSON as well. On your previous post I think you mistook airasia as accor which is exactly $0.0074 per point, and it's right above Accor.

I don't think these values translate anything directly for the customer. I think this is just internal values that all these partner programs provide to an aggregator for reference. These values shouldn't be taken in an absolute sense but it does make sense relatively, for example Accor is definitely the best value amongst all others followed by JA and Singapore Airlines (if you don't consider indirect conversion like ITC Green to Marriot).

Real value of Vistara points in much lower, especially if someone books international flights using CV points
