Am I missing something here? I hold an Infinia but shifting ALL my spends to Infinia is not seeming attractive to me. In fact, I am using my Amex Gold as a primary one. I now intend to apply for an MRCC card too.

Reason - I feel that Infinia is more rewarding only for offline and travel bookings. They have even started charging 3.5% fee on Amazon Pay GVs which is a shame. I understand that it's a subjective matter but still, what is your opinion on it?

Most people can't get Amex due to non serviceablity and hence the run for Infinia as magnus also got devalued.

I have Amex Trifecta. But infinia with Gyftr vouchers is very rewarding. Even with 3.5% fee, infinia users still save 13% when it comes to Apay vouchers.

Worst case you will always save 3.33% with infinia but wirh amex gold you only save 1% (2%-3% only for people targeting Marriot points). I see no point in shifting to Amex gold when you have infinia.

My amex gold works better for me in terms of amazon gv as I still have regalia.
 
Oh really... will try this too...

Wat benefits with Regalia ...I haven't tried GV...

Regalia gives 6.65% savings on GV. Example: You want to buy 10K of stuff from amazon. In this case you will take amazon shopping voucher GV of 10K which gives you RP + bonus RP leading to a total of 6.65% savings. Quick comparison, amazon pay card will only save you 5% in this case. This GV is good when there is no sale on amazon and if you don't have the bank card giving 10% off on amazon sale.

Lowest savings is for Amazon pay GV which gives only 3.15% savings. Sometimes GV are on discounts, currently on swiggy you get 6.65%+2% (8.65% approx).

With DCB you get 9.9% and with infinia 16.65%.
