Hey everyone, was planning to transfer points so was making a list of possible miles required to each country. All flights are from Delhi, thought of posting it here. Also, I've 2 questions here

1. Is there any other flight partner for south asian countries (first 10) which might offer better transfer rate than Singapore airlines? Or a flight partner in general I'm missing here?
2. I tried searching for airasia but I wasn't able to find page which shows required miles for each country. Can anyone tell if it's possible or not?

Hi guys,
I had posted a similar question in another thread but no replies so far. If I redeem my ER points to JAL now but the points get credited after Aug. 31, will I get my 5:4 converted miles or 5:2?
Thanks

5:4

date of credit doesnt matter
date of redemption matters

It just takes couple of days only for transfer completion. So you can transfer it in one go or multiple times since you have 10 days left.

Did anyone receive the accelerated ER's for transactions done on Grab Deals for the month of May and June?

What is the benefit? If one person holds a burgundy account, can the linked family members also use the burgundy benefits? Like a burgundy debit card or something?

Linking family members let's us where the benifits with our family without them needing to maintain the NRV relationship. The NRV can be maintained by just one family member and all the family members can enjoy the benefits.

Interesting, with this we would be holding 2 Magnus cards.

Yeah but truth be told the Magnus won't be of much use. I'll just hold it till I get the bonus 25k August points to be credited in December and after that I'll just keep the other card.. will close magnus after getting the bonus points or maybe till it's renewal.

 

[Saarthak Parihar]

I also have burgundy. My question is do we need to move all our points before 31st Aug or burgundy holders dont need to as ratio will continue to be 5:4 ?

I'd suggest that you move all your points just to be safe, leave a couple thousand points and we can see what happens after 1st September. I've already moved majority of mine.

I'm using neu infinity for utility bill payment along with SBI Cashback+ Apay combo. So didn't needed ace. Most other spends were diverted to magnus for monthly milestone ( which no longer applies ) .

Limit on my ace was 1.5 L compared to 5.1 L on my other 3 axis cards and they were not ready to increase it.

Closed ace to get samsung infinite with 5.1 L limit . Will upgrade ( rather downgrade ) it to Ace card.

As I've burgundy account , I'm waiting with my magnus till it's renewal in jan next year to see if they waive the renewal fee.

I guess the limits across the Axis Bank cards have been combined. The highest limit card will be the total pool of limit given to customers and all the cards you hold share the same pool.

 

[Saarthak Parihar]

As a non burgundy customer, should I stop spending from my magnus as the accelerated points might get credited in September. Or can we expect all giftedge and grabdeals points to get credited before 31st august. Anyone knows?

Cards like HDFC infinia and diners black offer more returns in that case, considering that you do hold those cards.. HDFC doesn't issue those cards easily.

I'd still keep it for a year as I have passed the threshold spends for renewal fee waiver.
1 more 40% off eazydiner, extra lounge for friends and family, additional PP etc.

What's the calculation after devaluation between Magnus vs Vistara Infinite?
Should I change Magnus with Vistara Infinite?
or keep Magnus and get Vistara signature?

why is vistara variable and magnus fixed?
i mean if vistara is variable then choose according to your needs biz tix or prem eco tix
