Hi Everyone,
I was looking at my edge rewards earnings over the past 1 year and was curious to know what's the maximum that people have been able to juice out on Magnus? I can start by showing my earnings over a period of March 2022 to May 2023:

The very high-level breakup of the earning would look something like this:
~3 Lakhs : Monthly Milestones for 12 months
~3.8 Lakhs : Holi Dhamaka 2022 Earning
~2.2 Lakhs : Through regular and accelerated rewards.
Answer to a few questions I saw in the thread:
- Do I own a business or shop/franchise?
Nope. I am a salaried guy working in Gurgaon for the last 10 years. I don't have any business spending or any special channels that I used to earn these points.
- What all categories did I spend in?
Can't recall any major segregation but spends were mostly on:
- E-commerce
- Offline shopping
- 2 personal international trips
- 2 work-related international trips ( I did for the hotel using my card and got it reimbursed from the company)
- Dining
- etc
-Were there any unknown hacks, that might have been used in the journey?
- There was one hack which contributed the maximum and that was the Holi Dhamaka offer in 2022. Axis TnC had a loophole where they didn't apply any capping. And I had an insurance payment due and I got 30X uncapped ER for that one payment! I posted about this in some public forum (
Post Link). Sadly it was running only for ~5-day period in the month of March 2022!
- I do try and ensure that every single spend of my is via Grabdeal either directly or indirectly. I keep my Amazon and Paytm wallets loaded so for non-grabdeal sites also I get at least 3x.
- Another thing that has been helpful is that a lot of my spending is on 3x,5x, and 10x partners of grabdeals. Like Imy family purchases a lot from FabInia, Amazon,Healthians, etc.
-What is the approximate value of total spending incurred to reach this figure?
I'm not comfortable sharing the exact figure, but it was greater than 15L
I feel I have developed a good muscle memory on which channel/portal/payment method to use for which spending and that allows me to quickly make the right call. But trust me this hasn't been easy. I only know how much additional time I spend before buying anything just because I'm trying to maximise the rewards. And not to forget, the frown on my wife's face when I ask her to wait for 5-10 minutes in every departmental store because I'm busy buying vouchers from Grabdeals/Gyftr! 😅
Happy to help in any way I can to help you guys maximise as well.
Cheer!
