This implies that you are informed about the recent devaluation and have read those discussions. You should visit those threads to look for your answer; if it's not there, you can ask. Alternatively, you can wait for a kind member to gather the latest information for you.

Great analysis. Thanks for sharing. Really brings clarity to the ASV / AGV purchase decision.

Infinia even the the fees offers the best value with minimal hassles it seems.

 

[mojo_jojo123]

do we get same % of reward now or it is updated .. also sbi cashback card gives 5%

 

[CCUser_1999]

All above remains same. Only change is that is you don't have Burgundy account, Magnus return will be significantly lower.
Yes SBI cashback card gives 5% but there is a limit on how many vouchers you can buy in a month. Also all of the above have has reward rate of 5%+.

Yes Infinia is good but the question is that how much will you utilize and is it worth the fee for this benefit only.
In my case I am not going for Infinia as I hold DCB LTF. If I go with Infinia, in all probability, it will not be LTF. I don;t want to lose a great LTF card which gives lounge access to me and my family for addition 2-3% reward on 20K per month.

Can you please guide on what will be effective reward rate for 18K RP collection of Amex.

We will get 7K agv for 18K RP of Amex with an spend of 1.5 lac (20K / Month x 7.5 Month = 1.50 lac ..for every 20k/month , 2400 RP/ month ...i.e. 18000 RP/2400 pm = 7.5 months)

My calculations comes as 7.78%.

Your views please

Please deduct the Amex MRCC annual fees of 885 (50% discount) on a pro rata basis for 7.5 months out of 12 months.
Also let's assume for the sake of simplicity, that Amazon pay vouchers are worth 100% cash, because they are quasi cash.

7000-553/150000 works out to 4.30% return

But remember that Amazon pay vouchers can be bought at a discount of 5% or more
