Club Vistara Air India Integration Announced

[rockking1994]

I have booked a vacation to kerala and also sold some tickets to my cousin now if I remember I only have about 2k cv points left soo i am opting in for now if the value proposition goes down significantly then will probably close sbi vistara prime and get
Axis atlas for my travel points collection

i am opting in for now

by default, everyone's account will be migrated to Air India unless you explicitly opt-out and that deadline was long ago. If you have opted out during that period you can't reserve opt-out decision now.

I have opted out, still have linked the AI FFP

Got email confirmation also

My guess was right, everyone has received the mail. Perhaps to create an Air India FR account anyway, but as per the FAQs they are very strict about the points, vouchers etc migration.

I have a Vistara Silver membership from HDFC Regalia Gold, which I haven't redeemed yet. I wan't to redeem late as I don't have plans now, what do you think of this? If I don't redeem now and merger happens, the membership will be wasted?

It will.
@pjrockzzz has some unredeemed coupon of vistara silver membership, so if that is not redeemed before merger how'll AI know that he is a silver member. So, I said, without redeeming it now and becoming silver member, he won't get to redeem it in AI

I was wondering what is bigger issue in long term. Not sure if it is discussed somewhere else. What happens to all co branded Vistara credit cards? I do not have any but was thinking of getting one and now it seems better to stay off any of these. Apparently none of Air India co branded cards are anywhere close to Vistara cards in terms of rewards.

As long as I am getting vouchers I am good.

I asked them on Twitter, they were like we will receive an update on this soon. It was a month ago

I do not have any but was thinking of getting one

If you can spend 4.5L within 2-3 months then go ahead. I don't think migration will happen anytime soon.

Air india signature gives 4% RPs on regular spends + 5% RPs on milestones - 9% FR points ~ 9×(0.6 - 0.8) = 4.8% - 7.2% which is decent

Not to forget the 10% RPs on AI for others and 30% for self
