hello members,

wanted to know some answers to this

scenario 1:

lets say I have biz black and Infina with me and accelerated points in smart buy restrictions are 10,000 and 15,000inr points in a month so now lets say I use biz black for flights and get 10,000 points and then if I use Infina for flights/hotels will I get 15,000 points in one smart buy ID? or is it a restriction on each card type or one ID?

Scenario 2:

lets say I have a biz black addon card now already in 1 smart buy ID that is the primary card I have already got in cap of 10,000 points now in 2nd smart buy ID which has addon can I make a hotel/flight booking and get another 10,000 points or is it restricted to just 1 card where both primary and addon are considered to be capped to max 10,000 points irrespective of who books from different smart buy ID?

Scenario 3:

Lets say I have points with me in different primary cards infina and Blackbiz during redemptions is it redeemable only per card which has points or as a group of both card can be redeemed of 70% or is it redeemable per type of card 70% only

additional questions:

1. are accelerated points restricted to the primary card or is it given separate quota for addon and primary card?
2. are accelerated points restricted to 1 Smart buy ID or a different type of credit card like Infina or biz black while paying?
3. once accelerated points are exhausted per month do we get normal spent points that a card gives for using in the smart buy portal?
4. redemption of points are separate for each card or clubed with primary and addon as one redemption?
5. redemption of points cannot be clubbed between 2 cards in one transaction let's say Infina and black biz I wanted to redeem in one flight booking can I do that within 70% limit?

Scenario 1 - If you are making flight/ hotel bookings.. restriction of accelerated reward points are per card. You can use same id to make multiple bookings without any restriction (subject to individual card accelerated reward points capping - 10k in BizBlack & 15k in Infinia).

Scenario 2 - Capping is done on the primary card. If you have add on card the limit will be considered within that of primary card. You do not get separate capping for add on cards (overall it will be 10k in BizBlack & 15k in Infinia).

Scenario 3 - For Redemption you can 70% per booking per card. In order to use reward points from different cards, you will need to make separate booking. Points cannot be clubbed in one transaction.

For your additional questions -

1) Accelerated points quota are considered on an overall basis (primary + add-on).
2) Except for Gyftr vouchers which have their own specified limits.. accelerated points are not restricted to 1 smart buy id. It is on per card type basis. You can make multiple booking using different card type from same Smart buy id.
3) Yes we do get normal spent points without any restriction.
4) Redemption is clubbed for each card type (primary or addon card points are the same and can be used interchangeably). You will have same card number for all add-on cards.
5) Redemption of points can only done one card per transaction at a time. These cannot be clubbed.
