Hi,
I'm planning to go to Andaman from Bengaluru in end of Dec and for that I was wondering how to utilise the Magnus points to Andaman (open for any international place with budget of 2L max for 2 person.)
Can any one let me know if anyone know or have idea about how to get started with Research for it.

Things I tried :
1. ITC points as ITC is in Port Blair but it's completely booked for the whole Dec.
2. Checked other international trip like( Bali, Seychelles, etc. )

Let me know if anyone can help me out here.

Thank You.

Accor has several properties in Bali. Can see Pullman Legian Beach for 82k for 6 nights in end of December for 2 pax. A Mercure property seems to be 650 m away and half that price.
There don't seem to be any direct flights, however. That will probably cost you a bit tho

It also depends on how many points you want to transfer. In my case I had 1.7L points

I transferred 80k to Turkish and remaining 55k to Accor. And upon calculating, we’d have to pay 2.5L extra for 4 of my family members for 7 nights. Which is great because my points are covering around 2L of my trip.

You can also transfer to Singapore Airlines if you’re into South Asian countries. For Dubai and Maldives Club Vistara is good.

If you’re a frequent flyer, then you can also transfer all your points to Accor.

Please DM with the number of points which you are willing to burn and your preference like number of nights and all. Can try and come up with something.

We recently did a Phuket trip. I transferred to Accor and booked Novotel properties and included their mykids and mydrinks package. They had a running offer for 50% off on dining and the food bill was charged to the room and we paid via points at checkout. One of the Novotel had a souvenir shop that charged to the room as well so we bought gifts with points too. Overall we paid 38000 points and INR 3000 for 5 nights stay with meals, drinks and gifts.

That's the non salary Burgundy criteria. 10L AQB or some other criteria including 30L NRV.

Wondering then if you don't maintain AQB are you eligible for 5:4.

I have salary burgundy account. Although it's showing 5:2 ratio for me. When called customer care they said they are launching new card for Burgundy holders and once that card is activated I should be able to convert it with 5:4.

Same. I even got an email that they'll issue a new card and I'll receive a consent form for it. But haven't received anything yet.
