Jewellery purchase using CC from big stores

[Sudbht]

Who mentioned it is visa network offer ?

See the post I replied he mentioned discount on making charges for Amex and Visa.

Update:

I've purchased from Kalyan (around 2L) and Joyalukkas (around 3.5-4L).

Both kalyan and Joyalukkas has 2% and 3% off on their gold jewellery gift cards on Amazon which I used for the entire purchase.

I had been hoarding apay and amazon shopping vouchers from oct using infinia and 2 add ons (so 60k a month). Used 1.5-1.6L from here to buy gc.

Also, bought gift cards directly using sbi cb on amazon, got 5% cb on top of that discount. So 1L from here.

I also hold neu infinity and tata neu had 2% neu coins on Amazon shopping vouchers. Purchased 1L from there at effectively 7% cb (2% in neu and 5% in neu card)

Remaining gcs I bought using Amex plat travel and infinia directly on Amazon.

Regarding making charges: Negotiate hard with the jewellers. We were able to effectively get 30% making charge discount in Joyalukkas and 25% in Kalyan.

We didn't like any design in tanishq and it had atleast 5-7% more making charges than the other chains but from past experiences where we were exclusively buying from Tanishq, they don't negotiate much.

You can search for visa infinite offers on Google.

I asked both Kalyan and Joyalukkas. Kalyan people said that it may or may not work and were willing to check after putting the promo code while billing. Joyalukkas said that it doesn't work and they have checked before.

However, I was able to get good discount by negotiation and gift cards giving 2% and 3% discount on entire amount was more worth it.

Can't say about giva and caratlane since haven't visited there but Malabar and Joyalukkas is definitely cheaper than Tanishq.

Also, Joyalukkas has 25% making charge discount on Amex cards and 6-10% on diamond.
Kalyan also has 35% on amex and 25% on visa cards and 6-10% on diamond.

Any offer links for the card network specific offers fir gold ?

Search Google. There are separate web pages for both amex as well as visa. Would be able to find both Joyalukkas and kalyan there

I need to purchase around 7-8L of gold jewellery next month and gonna buy it from big stores which accept credit card.

I know that there are already few threads but couldn't get the answers from there so creating a new one.

Cards I've -> Infinia, amex plat travel, neu infinity, sbi cb.

I've been accumulating apay and asv vouchers from last 2 months using my infinia to buy gc of jewellers from Amazon.

Few questions that I've:

Is there any other card I should apply?

Can I buy jewellers gc using sbi cb on Amazon to get 5% on 1L purchase?

Can I use axis atlas to buy jeweller gc from Amazon and get 2% miles and milestone benefits? I'm anyway thinking of applying axis atlas irrespective of this.

Can I pay using Amex since I've read in previous gold purchase threads that you can't buy in initial 6 months of account opening? If yes, I can refer someone else in my family and use their card as well for 4L.

Worst case, I'll use infinia to swipe directly for 3.3%.

TIA!

use infinia to get maximum benefit
