How it is wrong, this card gives 12 burgundy points for each 100 RS spend which can be converted to miles at 5:4 ratio, so default reward rate=4.8%, Flights on travel edge gives 5X-> 4.8*5=24% returns, I am not even considering accor points are valued at 1 point=1.8 rs, So depending on how uses those miles, returns could be even higher, 24% is assumed that even novice can extract this value.

Traveledge fares are inflated. The returns are at max 12-13% considering inflated prices. I have M4B myself and have never been able to use it on Travel Edge due to this. I can't pay more to get more miles

Depends on case to case basis, I always check with original carrier website(AI, Indigo etc) & other OTA website(MMT,Yatra etc) before booking. 80-90% cases-> all 3 offer same fares, 5% cases->travel edge is indeed higher than other 2 options, 5% times->travel edge is lower than other 2 options as well. All this experience from last 2 years of doing approx 80-90 bookings, I do bookings for my corporate travel as well. So considering those very rare situations, Travel edge always comes on top of it even in those cases with these crazy returns, No convenience fees is cherry on top of cake pushing rewards rate further.

You are right. Just know I checked flight prices for same date same airlines same time travel edge price 7543 MMT price 7184 + 350 fee MMT is still less by Rs 9 😀 original carrier has same price of 7184. 0 convivence fee is a lie. Also for few bank cards you get Rs 862 instant discount on MMT.

It is true only for single person booking. Try booking via traveledge for 3-4 people at once and you will start seeing the difference the tune of more than 10%

That is because they know you will find difficult to calculate fare difference for many people.
so always book one person at a time

In post 122 he is testifying from lots and lots of experience--80 to 90 bookings wow!

That is not practical in my case if you are booking for 3-4 people
