hdfc diners black reward portal

[usha rani]

Hello everyone,
My Hdfc diners black (plastic variant) points are expiring in coming month.
I tried to bought amazon pay vouchers using points by logging in hdfc diners smartbuy portal but it is not showing amazon pay vouchers/shopping vouchers,flipkart vouchers.
Can anyone will help me in knowing that are these vouchers are permanently removed or will come back in some days

Statement credit is the worst use of points
buying Amazon or Flipkart vouchers is the second worst use of points

 

[drsel]

If they are not available there is nothing you can do about it

Ask your friends and family if anyone has got flight or hotel bookings to do in the near future. Ask them the best price they are getting. Tell them you'll get them 10% OFF and do the bookings for them from SmartBuy using your points.

Amazon vouchers are available at net banking portal but the value is less then 50p per point.

Also, diners black smartbuy is showing 40p value for a major of the vouchers (eg chroma 500 voucher for 1250, ) is it normal or am I missing something?

what is the best way to redeem diners black plastic (pvc) card points other than flights and hotels?

 

[ALOAK]

HDFC DCB portal i see that recently they have added new partner Raddison Blu hotel with points trf 1:1.

Radisson Rewards​

• 1 Point equals 1 Radisson Rewards Points
• Transfer points within 24 hours

 

[ALOAK]

I think only few hotels with 1:1 trf partners like IHG , Raddison, Wyndham rest of the hotels are 1:0.5, even flight trf except Viet lotusmiles, Airasia, Finnair, flyblu, Spicejet are only with 1:1 RP.. Rest are like Cathay, Maharaja,Qatar,Air Canada(Aeroplane) Avianca Lifemiles, Etihad, ROP, British Airways, turkish Airlines (Miles&Smiles), United Milege are 1:0.5 Trf Partners.

It seems like a silent devaluation. If there is no need for flights or hotels, the point value is too low.
Most vouchers have now a value of 0.4 for each point so effective return for non smartbuy transactions is Rs 1.32 (0.4 x 3.3=1.32)
Am I missing something or is there any better way to get the maximum value ?
