Planning to buy accor signature... Atlas or HDFC DCB metal which is best

[Vas2398]

Hi,

I have around 60,000 points in DCB, I will get only 30k accor points on that.
So planning to take Accor signature(brazil) which will give 5000 points every month.

I already spent 4 lakh in this quarter. so dont want to use DCB. I also read somewhere that Accor membership price will increase form Jan.
Is it good option to buy Accor membership using ATLAS in Dec?

Thanks.

accor signature is good.. you will get 5000points/month n bonus 5000/quarter.. total 75000points but status points 1000/month. Since u missed the Black friday sale which ended on 2nd dec. I would suggest you take it on jan 1st or 2nd. yes u can use ur atlas,dcb you will get reward points on that spend also

It is never a good idea to pay real money for virtual money
Or
for points and miles which are created out of thin air by hotels and airlines.
but if you insist on buying, then use atlas

My plan is to stay in Maldives or Masai Mara. Accor and Marriott are best hotels there.
But Marriott is very costly though I get free rooms with points( no breakfast or meals. sadly I came to know this after I acquired 1 lakh MR on Amex plat travel)
Recently I came to know Accor(Pullman etc) has All inclusive options and fixed point value.
I am easily spending 5 lakh per quarter(4 lakh on DCB). Rest 1 Lakh I want to use atlas so that I can get in 1:2 ratio.
And Accor Signature gives good points which aligns with Oct' 2025 travel plan for a special occasion.

Not sure how much this works but want to try this points/miles game once

Bro, can you explain how axis atlas gives 10k points on buying signature membership through it?

Has anyone found a way around to the monthly subscription issue of cards not being able to transact?

He meant 10% extra Accor points for Hotel category.

Just buy it online and pay via atlas card. As it is hotel related expenses so you will get 5 points per 100 that will be converted to 10 in accor etc. remember you will incur 4% forex charge. Best time to buy is around black friday when it generally ran around 15% discount on annual subscription
