Should we keep ER points in Axis? Or transfer to some partner? Since Axis might devalue the redemption rate?

I transferred major chunk of miles to Krisflyer and Accor as I will be using them for international trips.

where are you planning for with Krisflyer ?

Yeah this is also an option but in rest 42.5k ER you won't be able to stay for longer duration. If someone is going Europe you would atleast want to stay a week.

Yeah, food and travel expenses would be extra but I still feel stay for 10 nights should be possible with 34k accor points considering approx 60 euros per night (in major cities). I haven't see the exact locations of Ibis budget hotels, just guessing it would be accessible by travel from city centre.

I think we should move this discussion to a separate thread! We are way outside the context of the original post.

where are you planning for with Krisflyer ?

You can book tickets to Europe using star alliance for 30.5k Krisflyer miles. It's second best in terms of reward redemption and you can add upto 5 nominees without any fuss. The best is Turkish Miles and Smiles but I have faced issued booking from them and currently I am unable to book AI flights through Turkish Miles and Smiles.

Currently I have -
Turkish Miles and Smiles - 19k (Had transferred for booking Europe flight but unable to do it).
Krisflyer - 1,20,000 miles
Accor - 1,54,000 miles(after today's transfer)
Marriot - 5,000
IHG - 3,000

I majorly use Turkish, Krisflyer and Accor(before Accor it was Marriot and IHG) for my international trips.

I am not sure about international travel plans. Should I transfer them to Vistara? How is it compared to Accor etc?

If you have Vistara flights from your city then you can transfer to Vistara. You can also travel to European countries using Vistara. But in terms of best reward redemption, I still feel accor is the best as of now.

I have travelled in March from BLR to Switerland and return was from Paris to BLR. I used Turkish miles and Smiles to book onward and return tickets.

Next plan is in September again to Europe. Will be using Krisflyer to book onward and return tickets even though I wanted to book through Turkish but I am getting error while booking AI flight from Turkish.

Planning to book accor hotels for all stays.

And another upcoming plan is for family trip to Singapore, so will be using Krisflyer and accor to book flights and hotels.

I just came to know that the conversion rate to Vistara is horrible. 18K cv points = 5500Rs flight ticket. Isn't a multi-brand redemption (1ER = 0.4RS) better than Vistara? Or am I going wrong here?

Custom duty taxes and shipping charges extra as it's shipped rom Netherland. Have checked on it. If you have someone staying in Netherland then you can get it delivered there and get it from them.

Only Netherlands? No other country?

Which is the source country from which they are shipping? Ex., are they shipping to the UK free of cost?
Also, you will need 147K ER to get 117K ER. iPhone 14 256gb is available at 80K now, so RR comes out to be 54%, which is good (I haven't inluded CC reward points on this 80K payement) but in BBD sale later on, we can get it for 65K, which will make RR to be 44%, which is equivalent to multi-brand voucher again.

Can anyone please share if they have received ITC points if transferred between 15 - 17 June ?

I had initiated some transfers, but received none of them during this period unlike the earlier credit period of 2-3 working days.

Schengen is probably the worst visa out there now. Shitheads. Twitter is full of horror stories. I think its mostly SE asia for me and family for some years till they digitize the application process.

No, usually ITC takes ~5-10 days for me.
