Hi
Unable to buy additional amazon pay gift voucher from reward multiplier .
Error message reads as “ you can buy maximum 25000 gift voucher in a calendar month “
Is this 25K limit per card or each phone number ? I have MRCC + Gold. How much Amazon pay voucher I can buy in a month ? Please advise. Thanks
 
What the benefit of buying these vouchers via Amex? Isn’t the return only around 2% at most? You get 3x which means 6x points. These points are worth less than 25% when redeemed (even via MB). So the real return is just 1.5%. SBI Cashback or Amazon Pay would beat that hands down and Infinia at 16.5% isn’t even comparable. Asking as I just got my first Amex!
See the cash vs. points redemption attachment for MB. Four Points by Sheraton in Jaipur (peak off season) is 3.2k via cash and 15k via points! Same for Marriott Jaipur.
approx 30k points on mrcc per year.. even valued at 50% is 15k for 2.4 L is 6.25 % minimum..

If you only hit 6k milestone then approx 14k points / 7k value for 72k spend.. even higher return.. at minimum assumption... Good value.. calcs are approx so pls don't fight over 1% here and there 🙂

Can't compare infinia with mrcc pls!!

Overall good value if used well

Depends on where you book the hotels and what dates.

Some properties offer ₹1 per point and some international properties even offer up to ₹2.5-3 per point. 🙂
@coolguy1 can you give some examples where you can get 1 inr value in or 2 inr value from mariott points bcos i couldn't find it anywhere. The best value I can find is 0.6 inr = 1 mb point.

I have plat travel card and I will be able to hit both milestones and end up with approx 50k points but derive 8 percent I need minimum 1 inr value of 1 mb.

Ensure stay is of at least 5 nights and you’ll find plenty of options within this range at Kochi, Madurai, Pune, Bangalore, etc yielding more than Rs1 per MB point

Also is there a way to get 3x points and use Amex card for fuel upto 5k in a month. Don't want to use Amazon vouchers on that
I don't use any American express cards anymore.
I had MRCC and I closed it because I got much better cards.

See my articles on BEST cards and cards giving over 10% return.

Yes there is a way.... Use Amex Plat travel to buy Amazon Pay vouchers at 3X + milestone benefits ---> Load ICICI / IDFC fastag via Amazon pay ---> Use at HPCL station and pay via fastag
 
You can stretch it upto ~30k per month by getting add on cards and using different mobile numbers. Amex add on card number is different, so can be easily used on different gyftr account
Gyftr Limits upto 10k Per Account. I.e. One mobile number and email combination, does Amex restricts to purchase Card wise, or Gyftr has restriction of 10k on each card as well ?

Use your Plat Travel at Park Plus for IOCL vouchers. Considering 0.50p per MR point and Taj Voucher min 10.5% on regular days and 12.5% on Fridays. You can also accumulate discount vouchers on fuel purchase through in app activities and get 5-10% discount on voucher purchase so it increases the tally to 13.5-18.5% on these.

If you use EazyDiner and have Eazy points balance more than 1000 then you can redeem for Park Plus voucher @ 10% discount on 1,000/- fueling

Maldives. Africa. Dubai. You'll get a much better per-point value with international stays! 🙂
