How can I optimize group flight booking?

Hey all,

1. I have my wedding coming up in 2 months and I have to fly 24 people to Bangalore. I checked with Air India Express Group Booking Help Desk and they gave me a quotation of INR 7500 per pax + seat booking charges. However, they want me to pay the amount to a given bank account. I asked for an option to pay via a credit card but they denied it. I have my Amex Platinum Travel Card and want to put it to use. I was thinking of purchasing MMT e-gift cards from gyftr and making 3 different bookings of 9 + 9 + 6 seats. Are there any potential downsides for doing this? Are there any other more efficient ways of doing this?

2. Similarly, I have gold purchases that are coming up and I was thinking of using the Malabar gift vouchers from Gyftr. Is there a better option out there for gold purchases?

3. Since I'll be hitting my 4L spend on my Amex Platinum Travel card, would Axis Atlas be a good option for the rest of the expenses? And can I use axis Gyftr similar to Amex, as a workaround for the gold purchase exclusion?

Calling for all the credit card gurus in the community, thanks in advance.
