[NikTravelEnthusiast]

There is a spelling mistake in Magnus.
Instead of 'g' , I prefer letter 'd'. Identically looking letter, but changes the meaning all together.
Ironically, it justify this card journey.
You know what I means. Thumbs up if you understand.

Does this mean I have 217k + 182k points?

Lol, I just received my MB, I only had 217k points. I don't know how these 182k points appeared out of nowhere.

I haven't tried

 

[saketreddy]

As lomg as they don't take them back, you have 399k points.

No...

182K points is subset of 217K points. Totally you have 217K points

No it means you have 217966 points of which 182160 are burgundy, so they can be transferred in the 5:4 ratio. [At least this is how it works for me] Considering that you just got the MB card it might be a bug as well that some of your points are now under the Burgundy bucket.
Can you try transferring just to see what ratio you are getting?

No, it means you have 217,966 points only. Edge rewards are superset of Magnus Burgundy and normal edge points.

Oh okay, I’ll try
Also do you know whether burgundy debit card points can be transferred at 5:4 or not?

 

[Viper1057]

Yes, can be transferred as of now.

 

[callsignmaverick]

Yes for Magnus burgundy both credit & debit cards are transferred in 5:4 ratio.

 

[abhim]

All ER that you earn across your cards (debit and credit such as Select) will transfer at 5:4 until you keep your Magnus Burgundy active. You just have to make sure you keep using your credit card to keep earning some burgundy points to allow for transfer at this ratio.

As has been the case for some members on this forum, if the Burgundy bucket becomes empty, you will not be able to initiate any transfers until you gain some ER from your Magnus Burgundy card.

 

[harshar]

are they going to move remaining ER points to the MB points bucket?

No...

182K points is subset of 217K points. Totally you have 217K points

 

[sourpai]

are they going to move remaining ER points to the MB points bucket?

Once he redeems all 187K points and makes MB bucket zero, then remaining points will come to MB bucket (either all at once or in batches). It wont happen before that

I might be misunderstanding your statement but I believe that T&C means using your Priority pass card to access a lounge within India is limited to the 10 lounges mentioned. The other lounges + guest visit should be accessed by swiping your Magnus card directly for authorisation.

Regardless, I think lounge receptionists can normally see whether you will be charged for access so you should get that info before you confirm your entrance.
