From what I know, the capping is only limited to max points one can purchase in a year. You are allowed to repeat the same process every year
This is applicable on all Amex cards though you won't receive any MR points for buying points. 😅
I was looking to book flights on Cathay Pacific for around 26k points. I had 10k Asia miles in my account already, and 28k MR points in Amex (which would translate to 14k Asia miles). I was running short of 2k miles. So, buying 4k points for Rs. 1600 was a great option for me.
Ones who want to stay at Marriott, for them buying at 40 paise is a great deal especially when they get more than 1 Re or so on certain properties
Can you share me 10 properties of Marriott in India which are available at 100ps per point or so..? I think I am searching wrong properties so far. Need to learn from the experienced ones this loyalty game
Top up can be a good and solid reason.
I was just going to mention the thread that Walter white posted. Let me tell you that aspirational travellers will definitely find such gaps, in fact there's a big buy/sell market out there for Marriott points owing to the fact that the points can be transferred to anyone (with certain restrictions)
Mariott gives good returns on paying using MB in India. In Europe, the redemption rates are pathetic from what I have seen.
It's per card.
You can use to book London tickets. Virgin Atlantic needs 20k MR points(40k MR points in peak season) + ~100 pounds and availability is quiet decent. If planned well you can get more than 5 award tickets.
Great find. Nothing in Delhi, Mumbai, Goa etc, but hope soon we may see some good options there as well. Most of the time the places I tend to visit or want to redeem it is rarely beyond 50ps.
Yeah. Domestic redemption doesn't have lot of options. I usually use my points(MR/ER/DCB points) for international trip. Most of them gives > Rs. 1 value.
