BTW folks, why don't you put your gold coins(if you are not able to get better value on selling) in RBI's Gold Monetization Scheme?
No locker charges and you get 2.5% interest on gold and being RBI it's safest bet.

I totally missed this. Thanks for the idea. The process does look like it will take some effort (checked HDFC).

I will definitely try it out if I accumulate a lot as it removes the risk of physical gold.

Transfer 23,500 edge points to 19,000 Turkish Miles and Smiles.

Now book award ticket from India to European countries. If you check any India to European ticket will cost > 34k.

But in Turkish, you pay 19k points and 3.5k - 5k (for taxes), hence the calculation.

Route? I checked BOM to CDG, BSL,GVA, FCO. All are 30k points.
Istanbul is 20k.
Am I missing something?

So far I booked below tickets -
CDG to DEL
BLR to Frankfrut
Amsterdam to BLR

Currently Award flight of Air India is facing issue when booking through Turkish Miles and Smiles(in United it doesn't show up Air India flights at all). So, now we have to wait when this gets fixed.

Already ordered 😅. Nothing else to do with 33k in Myntra Credit.

which one did you order this time, melorra? I'm guessing thats the only option, but the wait is such a huge non sense, plus if myntra delivers it or not is a big question

I think for few days, we should give time to myntra to cool off. Seems rise in price in Myntra only. BRPL was costly, Mellora and cander all are around 67k for 10gm while BRPL still available at 65k in amazon, they increased price only in Myntra

You are fetching only the Turkish Air redemption. The other post is sharing the Star Airline partner redemption which is around 19K+taxes to Europe from India.

I ordered Candere Kalyan. Eventhough they had shown 1 month delivery time, they delivered in 2 weeks last time.

GOLD Coin Listing person has gone nuts in Myntra - 5gm coin is trading at almost 37k whereas amazon have nearabout 33k - almost 10-12% costly

We have seen rise in local market due to 2000 note ban but comeon, we are not paying by 2k notes in Myntra

Question - can we buy gold using ASVs?

 

[Theo]

Yes you

Yes you can buy gold using ASV, but that will be 5X vs 10X on Myntra.

 

[D7162]

As per current rate 5x-10x is almost near (if you consider 0.4 value per reward)

 

[Theo]

I consider 0.8x per reward because that is what you generally end up realising for miles tickets. In case of business class bookings the value realised can be more than 1.5X.

I consider 1RP = 1Re, dimaag par zor kam lagta hai 🤣

nice, suddenly my pincode is blacklisted or don't know what, none of the gold items deliver. Tried a few other pincodes in my state and nothing so far
