Then you have enough time to reach milestones in both the cards
If you want Marriott points right now for the trip then
Amex platinum travel
Otherwise
Atlas
If you are going to utilise Marriott points, do check the point value. If it suits you then go ahead.
Please check the point value
I am assuming you have more spending (~6.6L) before renewal dates.
 
But Atlas give 5x points on travel which when converted on Accor turn out to be 10x 1.8 Rs return
Whereas Amex will give only 1 point on spend of Rs 50 beside milestone

That's why I asked where you will book your flights.
Amex on MMT used to give 3x rewards as well. Not sure now.
 
If we books flight on MMT and pay with Amex we will get 3x point or we have to purchase MMT voucher on reward multipler and then book tickets
 
If I book Flight tickets from All nippon airlines site( In USD) with Atlas card for 5x rewards ,will I be charge with currency conversion and forex charges @ 3.5% also. Can anyone clarify?
