Other than the Platinum Accor status, 85k ALL points sounds quite good for hotel spending.
Considering you can do 1:1 to airline partners, thats 85k airline miles as well, Quite lucrative I must say.
Specially as you and a friend can pool the money and share the points later (since you can transfer). Even better if either if you travelling soon, as you can make use of the points/status from get go.
God damn I hate myself that I linked Qatar and due to that I missed the Gold Fast Track from Qantas (cannot unlink till Dec 2024)
Also, I see even paying monthly amounts to same total as annual, maybe a few hundred rs. diff or 1k max. Doesn't monthly payment seem better in that case since you can use it on Atlas or Amex or whatever card's monthly goal you might need to meet.
PS: Is everyone of the sentiment that its better to book in Jan even if they do Black Friday offer in Nov/Dec ?
