Most awaited Axis Edge to Transfer Partners Timeline

[RewardsAlert]

Axis Bank Edge Reward Points to Transfer Partners Timeline:

Usually the Edge Reward Points/ Edge Miles have an official transfer period of up to 15 days but transfer to different partners varies with each one.

I have accumulated a list for these Tranfer timelines based on the experience of people in our community!

The lighting fast transfer award goes to:
(Note: there might be some exceptions in rare cases, but 99% is same for everyone)

Air Canada
Air France
Marriott Bonvoy
IHG
Etihad
United
Qantas
Spicejet
Wyndham

Transaction + 1-2 working Days

Accor
Qatar Air
Singapore Airlines
Turkish
Vistara

Transaction + 1-7 working days

ITC
There is a hidden fact about ITC, that they initiate Green points transfer manually, and Friday is the day when it happens every week.
So, even if you initiate a Transfer on Thursday, it might get reflected on Friday 😉

Not all partners are listed in this post, but new partners will keep on updating as people post their new experiences.
Do not forget to comment your opinions and experiences with any of these partners if any.

Happy Redemptions coming ahead!
🙌

What actually happened can you explain? And where do you want to go?. I am also transferring around 2L points tomorrow so need to know the experience before hand. It will be appreciated if you could tell the details.

In Singapore Airlines, for redemption also there are options like Saver and regular. Saver has got limited seats only. So what would have happened is 20K is saver fare. Because of the time lag in point transfer Saver quota would have exhausted and option would be for normal point booking. This is very common and you need to plan for this eventuality or transfer in advance and risk non usage.

Can someone guide if we want marriot points, it was said to convert to ITC and then transfer you get double value is it true or still there.?

Its not double. ER to ITC at 5:4. ITC to Marriot at 2:3. So 1 ER gives 1.2 Marriot

Not double. Axis ER to ITC to Marriott---> 5:4 for Axis ER to ITC, and 2:3 for ITC to Marriott. So you get 6 Marriott points for 5 ER. But there's a limit of 60K points transfer from ITC to Marriott in a calendar year (Google for TnC)

I'd transferred from axis to turkish. Was done in a little over 2 days.

I have to book a Marriott hotel in Goa which is showing 63500 points for 5 nights stay.
I have 30000 Amex point.
Can I book Marriott hotel partially with 30000 points?

You can confirm an award reservation as soon as your plans are finalized and then earn the remaining points within 60 days. It’s no different than booking a refundable paid stay. Your reservation may be canceled if you don’t have enough points in your account either within 60 days of booking or 14 days before your arrival. You’ll be required to cover the award stay at the price in effect when you use points, not the time you book. Check Marriott points advance on google, and you will understand.

Thank for the suggestion.
I will try your advice.

I have 2 more months in hand before the actual stay. So I guess I can cover the remaing points with the help of Magnus.

If I dont have sufficient points acquired before my stay, can I buy the points directly and utilize to cover remainjng point? Any trick or advice to buy more points at less price?

 

[churn]

I will never suggest to buy points, but if you are converting Magnus points, you can convert from Axis ER to ITC to MB, but remember to read TnC since there is a limit to number of points that can be converted

I checked.
But Marriot point advance has been discontinued from 28 March 2023

 

[churn]

Oh. I wasn't aware of that. This is so recent. I had booked before, and so mentioned. If you spend 4L on Amex Plat travel you get almost 48k points which can be converted (and the additional 10k Taj and stuff). Check if that card works out for you

Which transfer partner of Axis bank is most "versatile" ? (I mean, a transfer partner which allows further transfer to multiple other airmiles/hotel points)
For example, I want to transfer my Edge Rewards points, but not to CV points since (correct me if I am wrong) we can't transfer CV points back to ITC/Marriott. So, in this case I would rather transfer my ER points to Club ITC and then take it from there. But certainly, I feel it's safer to not have ER points sitting idle (so as to avoid any eventual devaluation of ER points) What do you think? And please suggest other versatile transfer partner options. Thanks in advance 🙂

Can I book Marriott hotel partially with 30000 points?

I booked Marriott using points few days ago. To me it was showing 2 options. 1 was booking on 100% points and another was booking on partial points and paying some cash. See if you have those options.
Waiting can be risky in Marriott as they have moved to dynamic reward structure. The current requirement of 65K points can definitely go up in future and worst case scenario reward redemption may not be available at all.
Please see if you have points with AMex or some other card which can help. Till recently Marriott was also running offer on bonus rewards on buying points. If nothing works, DM me. Will see what other options exist to make it happen,

Yes you can book for 2-3 nights with points. You can change the dates when you have more points . Marriot also offers cash plus points option.

Hi, I see we can convert to Turkish airlines also. But how to do it? I don’t see any option to convert from ER.

Axis Bank is the most versatile. Keep your points there. They have been giving advance notice for any changes in their program so you have to trust that they will do the same moving forward.

Also, moving to any program for fear of devaluation is crazy because that programme can have a devaluation too OR you could have a redemption requirement come up that that programme is unable to fulfill.

Devaluation of points is a risk you take in the points game. Smartest strategy is to keep your points with Axis for now till expiry or till you need to use them.
